First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer system including at least one computer processor and non-transitory computer readable storage medium or media including computer code and at least one storage device in which is stored GPS data for at least one vehicle the system comprising:
- a memory includinga GPS event database including GPS event data transmitted from at least one GPS device, each GPS device associated with a vehicle, and stored over a period of time;
the one or more processors programmed at least toreceive GPS event data transmitted from at least one GPS device, each GPS device associated with a vehicle, the event GPS event data including location information for the vehicle;
store the GPS event data in a GPS event database operatively coupled to at least one of the processors;
analyze the GPS event data to determine vehicle stops for at least one vehicle;
determine if the vehicle stops meets a location type identification criterion for a geofence; and
if the criterion is met, automatedly categorize the geofence.

2. The computer system of claim 2, wherein the geofence and wherein the boundary shape for the geofence is at least one of a boundary shape for an automatedly identified frequent stop location, a boundary shape for a user identified point of interest, and a boundary shape for predetermined point of interest.

20. A method comprising, in at least one computer and a computer readable non transitory storage medium or media including computer code:
-
receiving GPS event data transmitted from a plurality of GPS devices, each GPS device associated with a vehicle; storing in GPS event database operatively coupled to at least one of the processors, the GPS event data; analyzing the GPS event data to derive and record vehicle stops for at least one vehicle; determine if the vehicle stops meets a location type identification criterion for a geofence; and if the criterion is met, automatedly categorize the geofence. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
