First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for automatic mileage tracking using a mobile device, the method comprising:
- configuring, by one or more processors of the mobile device, a set of trip categorization rules;
defining, by one or more processors of the mobile device, a trip type for a current trip based on the set of trip categorization rules;
establishing, by one or more processors of the mobile device, a wireless connection between the mobile device and a vehicle;
in response to establishing the wireless connection between the mobile device and the vehicle, executing, by one or more processors of the mobile device, mileage tracking for the current trip;
upon termination of the wireless connection between the mobile device and the vehicle, storing, by one or more processors of the mobile device, a plurality of tracked mileages from the mileage tracking for the current trip in a memory of the mobile device;
calculating, by one or more processors of the mobile device, a total mileage for the current trip by summing the plurality of tracked mileages; and
displaying, by one or more processors of the mobile device, the total mileage for the current trip to a user.

Abstract
A system and method allows a user to connect a mobile device, such as a smartphone, to a vehicle in order to track and record driving mileages incurred for a trip. Once a connection is established, the system and method automatically begins mileage tracking. Upon termination of the connection, the system and method sums up the tracked mileages to calculate a total mileage for the trip. The system and method then displays the total mileage for the trip to the user.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer-readable instructions to be executed on one or more processors of a mobile device for automatic mileage tracking, the instructions when executed causing the one or more processors to:
-
configure a set of trip categorization rules; define a trip type for a current trip based on the set of trip categorization rules; establish a wireless connection between the mobile device and a vehicle; in response to establishing the wireless connection between the mobile device and the vehicle, execute mileage tracking for the current trip; upon termination of the wireless connection between the mobile device and the vehicle, store a plurality of tracked mileages from the mileage tracking for the current trip in the memory of the mobile device; calculate a total mileage for the current trip by summing the plurality of tracked mileages; and display the total mileage for the current trip to a user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
