Location and event capture circuitry to facilitate remote vehicle location predictive modeling when global positioning is unavailable
First Claim
1. A repossession recommendation system for providing a recommendation regarding locations and times at which a target vehicle will be parked and available for repossession, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more electronic devices that generate and communicate vehicle location data comprising one or more of;
a tracking device in the target vehicle that generates location data based on satellite signals when satellite signals are available; and
a mobile device associated with a user of the target vehicle that generates location data based on satellite signals when satellite signals are available or based on a triangulation algorithm when satellite signals are unavailable;
a network through which the vehicle location data is communicated; and
a predictive recommendation server for receiving the vehicle location data via the network, the predictive recommendation server comprising one or more processors that are operable to execute instructions to;
create a plurality of destination zones associated with the target vehicle based on the vehicle location data, each destination zone having a geographic boundary;
group a set of visits within each destination zone, wherein each visit comprises an instance during which the target vehicle was parked within the geographic boundary of the destination zone;
determine a frequency of visits for one or more of the destination zones;
receive non-tracking data via the network from one or more of a commercial data server, a government data server, a social media server, a lender server, and a law enforcement server, wherein the non-tracking data provides information about the operation of vehicle other than locations and times at which the target vehicle is parked; and
run a predictive model based at least in part on the frequency of visits and the non-tracking data to generate a list of recommended destination zones and times to repossess the target vehicle.

Abstract
Disclosed are a device and/or a method of location and event capture circuitry to facilitate remote vehicle location predictive modeling when global positioning is unavailable. In one embodiment, a predictive circuit of a vehicle includes event detection circuitry to initiate a timer circuit of the vehicle when a wheel of the vehicle is in a stationary state beyond threshold amount of time during an event; an event categorization circuitry to monitor a telemetry data of the vehicle to assign a category to the event; a data communication circuitry to communicate the event, the category, and/or a set of other events and categories to a predictive recommendation server on a periodic basis; and a repossession detection circuitry to determine that the vehicle is pending repossession based on the event, the category, the set of other events and categories, and/or a message communicated from the predictive recommendation server to the predictive circuit.
