1. A method comprising:
- tracking, by a telecommunication device, purchase patterns, wherein the purchase patterns include data selected from the group consisting of product category, calendar data, and combinations thereof;
mapping each of the tracked purchase patterns to a geographic position system;
learning at least one purchase pattern utilizing the telecommunication device, each purchase within the purchase patterns attached to a geographic location; and
predicting a future product purchase based upon the learned purchase pattern and an ascertained geographic location, wherein the ascertained geographic location is selected from the group consisting of;
current geographical position data, and a route programmed into the geographic position system.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention relate to dynamic assessment of a prior purchase pattern to predict a future purchase. The prior purchase pattern is tracked and mapped to a geographic position system. Based upon a current physical location or a known future location, both a future purchase and purchase location are ascertained and communicated to a mobile device in communication with the geographic position system.
