First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a processor configured to;
log vehicle start times;
determine if timing commonalities exist between logged vehicle start time instances;
based on a threshold number of timing commonalities, within a user-defined deviance, recommend automatic start;
formulate recommended start times based on logged start time instances having timing commonalities;
present a schedule including recommended start times; and
schedule automatic vehicle startups upon vehicle user acceptance of the presented schedule.

Abstract
A computer implemented method includes logging vehicle startup information. The method also includes determining, via a computer, if timing commonalities exist between logged vehicle startup information instances. Further, the method includes recommending automatic vehicle startup, based on a threshold number of timing commonalities. The method also includes formulating recommended start times based on logged vehicle startup information instances having timing commonalities. The method additionally includes presenting a schedule including recommended start times to a vehicle user and scheduling automatic vehicle startups upon vehicle user acceptance of the presented schedule.

5. A system comprising:
-
a processor configured to; log vehicle start times; determine if timing variances greater than a user-defined timing threshold exist between logged start times and scheduled start times; based on a user-defined threshold number of variances greater than the threshold, formulate new recommended start times based on logged vehicle startup information; present a new schedule including new recommended start times; and reschedule automatic vehicle startups upon vehicle user acceptance of the new schedule.
