METHOD FOR ORGANIZING DATA PRESENTED TO A USER IN A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method for organizing data presented to a user in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- monitoring, at a call center, a routine of the user, wherein the monitoring takes into account a then-current day, a then-current time of day, a then-current vehicle location, and a point of interest associated with the routine;
generating at least one point of interest parameter, a time of day parameter, a day parameter, and a vehicle location boundary based on the routine of the user;
recognizing that the user is outside the vehicle location boundary on a day associated with the day parameter and at a time associated with the time of day parameter;
generating, at the call center, at least one datum based on the at least one point of interest parameter and a then-current location of the vehicle; and
transmitting the at least one datum to a telematics unit operatively disposed in the vehicle.

Abstract
A method for organizing data presented to a user in a vehicle includes monitoring, at a call center, a routine of the user. Monitoring takes into account a then-current day, a then-current time of day, a then-current vehicle location, and a point of interest associated with the routine. At least one point of interest parameter, a time of day parameter, a day parameter, and a vehicle location boundary is generated based on the user'"'"'s routine. The method further includes recognizing that the user is outside the vehicle location boundary on a day associated with the day parameter and at a time associated with the time of day parameter. The call center generates at least one datum based on the at least one point of interest parameter and a then-current location of the vehicle, and transmits the at least one datum to a telematics unit operatively disposed in the vehicle.

10. A method for organizing data presented to user in a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
storing a plurality of data at a call center; monitoring, via the call center, a routine of the user, wherein the monitoring takes into account a then-current day, a then-current time of day, a then-current vehicle location, and a point of interest associated with the routine; generating at least one point of interest parameter, a time of day parameter, a day parameter, and a vehicle location boundary based on the routine of the user; storing the at least one point of interest parameter, the time of day parameter, the day parameter, and the vehicle location boundary in a user profile; recognizing that a user is outside the vehicle location boundary on a day associated with the day parameter and at a time associated with the time of day parameter; extracting, in response to the recognizing, the at least one point of interest parameter from the user profile; generating, at the call center, a prioritized list including at least one of the plurality of data, the prioritized list based on the at least one point of interest parameter and a then-current location of the vehicle; and transmitting the prioritized list to the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. A system for organizing data to present to a user in a vehicle, the system comprising:
-
means for monitoring a routine of the user, wherein the means for monitoring takes into account a then-current day, a then-current time of day, a then-current vehicle location, and a point of interest associated with the routine; means for generating at least one point of interest parameter, a time of day parameter, a day parameter, and a vehicle location boundary based on the routine of the user; means for recognizing that the user is outside the vehicle location boundary on a day associated with the day parameter and at a time associated with the time of day parameter; means for generating at least one datum based on the at least one point of interest parameter and a then-current location of the vehicle; and a telematics unit operatively disposed in the vehicle and configured to receive the at least one datum from the means for generating. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system, comprising:
-
an in-vehicle unit for determining a set of user stop locations by monitoring geographic locations where a vehicle stops within a first geographic boundary; a point of interest reverse look-up unit for determining whether one of the user stop locations geographically coincides with a point of interest, and for designating the point of interest as a visited point of interest if the one of the user stop locations geographically coincides with the point of interest, and for designating the point of interest as a regularly visited point of interest if at least one other of the user stop locations geographically coincides with the point of interest; a point of interest notification unit for determining whether the vehicle is in a second geographic boundary not including the regularly visited point of interest; and when the vehicle is in the second geographic boundary, providing, to a driver of the vehicle, a notification of a similar point of interest in the second geographic boundary that bears common characteristics to the regularly visited point of interest.
