Method and system for providing intelligent alerts
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at an input module, sensor data over a period from one or more sensors onboard a vehicle, the sensor data comprising locational data and/or driving data of a user;
processing, at a categorization module, the sensor data received over the period to detect a behavioral pattern reflective of typical behavior of the user during the period, the behavioral pattern comprising a locational pattern or a driving pattern of the user;
receiving, at the input module, additional sensor data after the period from the one or more sensors onboard the vehicle, the additional sensor data comprising additional locational data and/or additional driving data;
comparing, at the categorization module, the additional sensor data to the behavioral pattern;
generating, at a decision module, an alert based on the comparing; and
sending, by the decision module, the alert to a user device.

Abstract
A system and method for providing intelligent alerts using data from sensors, mapping data, POI/events data, environmental data, and/or user data. The sensors may include a telematics control unit (TCU) on a vehicle, and the intelligent alerts may be based on a deviation in a pattern (of a user or of vehicles generally) or a new location traveled to by the user. Intelligent alerts may prompt a user to post a message on a social media network, to leave a review, or may simply provide information to the user. Intelligent alerts may be sent to users away from the vehicle, to users in the vehicle, or to the vehicle itself, such as on a vehicle display.

11. A system for generating alerts, the system comprising:
-
an input module configured to receive; sensor data over a period from one or more sensors onboard a vehicle, the sensor data comprising locational data and/or driving data of a user; additional sensor data after the period from the one or more sensors onboard the vehicle, the additional sensor data comprising additional locational data and/or additional driving data; a categorization module configured to; process the sensor data received over the period to detect a behavioral pattern reflective of typical behavior of the user during the period, the behavioral pattern comprising a locational pattern or a driving pattern of the user; compare the additional sensor data to the behavioral pattern; and a decision module configured to; generate an alert based on the comparing; and send the alert to a user device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
