1. A method for predicting vehicle operator destinations, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of vehicle position data for previous trips of a vehicle;
segmenting the vehicle position data into one or more individual trips based on one or more of an ignition cycle and an extended period of time at a single geographic location, each individual trip including a starting location, an ending location, a start time, a route and a duration;
replacing two or more of the individual trips with a regular trip if both of the individual trips have proximate starting locations, ending locations, start times, routes and durations, wherein a starting location of the regular trip is the average of the starting locations of both trips, an ending location of the regular trip is the average of the ending locations of both trips, a start time of the regular trip is the average of the start times of both trips, a route of the regular trip is the route of one of the individual trips, and a duration of the regular trip is the average of the durations of both trips; and
storing the regular trips in a database.

Abstract
A method for predicting vehicle operator destinations including receiving vehicle position data for a vehicle. The vehicle position data for a current trip is compared to vehicle position data for a previous trip to predict a destination for the vehicle. A path to the destination is suggested.

-
receiving a plurality of vehicle position data for previous trips of a vehicle; segmenting the vehicle position data into one or more individual trips based on one or more of an ignition cycle and an extended period of time at a single geographic location, each individual trip including a starting location, an ending location, a start time, a route and a duration; replacing two or more of the individual trips with a regular trip if both of the individual trips have proximate starting locations, ending locations, start times, routes and durations, wherein a starting location of the regular trip is the average of the starting locations of both trips, an ending location of the regular trip is the average of the ending locations of both trips, a start time of the regular trip is the average of the start times of both trips, a route of the regular trip is the route of one of the individual trips, and a duration of the regular trip is the average of the durations of both trips; and storing the regular trips in a database. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for predicting vehicle operator destinations, the method comprising:
-
receiving one more vehicle position data for a vehicle, each vehicle position data including a geographic location and a timestamp; if the vehicle position data is for one or more previous trips of the vehicle then; segmenting the vehicle position data into one or more individual trips based on one or more of an ignition cycle and an extended period of time at a single geographic location, each individual trip including a starting location, an ending location, a start time, a route and a duration; and replacing two or more of the individual trips with a regular trip if both of the individual trips have proximate starting locations, ending locations, start times, routes and durations, wherein a starting location of the regular trip is the average of the starting locations of both trips, an ending location of the regular trip is the average of the ending locations of both trips, a start time of the regular trip is the average of the start times of both trips, a route of the regular trip is the route of one of the individual trips, and a duration of the regular trip is the average of the durations of both trips; and if the vehicle position data is for a current trip of the vehicle then; setting the geographic location of one of the vehicle position data equal to a starting location of the current trip and the timestamp of one of the vehicle position data equal to a starting location of the current trip; predicting a destination of the current trip equal to the ending location of the regular trip when the starting location of the current trip is proximate to the starting location of the regular trip and the start time of the current trip is proximate to the start time of the regular trip; and suggesting the route of the regular trip to the predicted destination.

19. A system for predicting vehicle operator destinations, the system comprising:
-
a navigation device; a storage device; a microprocessor in communication with said navigation device and said storage device, said microprocessor including instructions for facilitating; receiving a plurality of vehicle position data for previous trips of a vehicle via the navigation device, each vehicle position data including a geographic location and a timestamp; segmenting the vehicle position data into one or more individual trips based on one or more of an ignition cycle and an extended period of time at a single geographic location, each individual trip including a starting location, an ending location, a start time, a route and a duration; replacing two or more of the individual trips with a regular trip if both of the individual trips have proximate starting locations, ending locations, start times, routes and durations, wherein a starting location of the regular trip is the average of the starting locations of both trips, an ending location of the regular trip is the average of the ending locations of both trips, a start time of the regular trip is the average of the start times of both trips, a route of the regular trip is the route of one of the individual trips, and a duration of the regular trip is the average of the durations of both trips; and storing the regular trips in a database on the storage device. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
