Vehicle location reminder system and method

摘要

A vehicle location reminder system having a vehicle positioning system (12) operable to provide an approximate location (14) of a vehicle (16) and record the approximate location (14) of the vehicle (16). A status check system (18) monitors use of the vehicle (16) and sends a signal (20) to the vehicle positioning system (12) to record the approximate location (14) of the vehicle (16) when the vehicle (16) is no longer in use. A memory system (22) is connected to the status check system (18) and the vehicle positioning system (12), the memory system (22) being adapted to determine if the approximate location (14) of the vehicle (16), when no longer in use, is in a familiar location (24). An alert system (26) is connected to the memory system (22). The alert system (26) prompts a vehicle user to record data (27) on a mobile device (28) pertaining to the approximate location (14) of the vehicle (16) when the location of the vehicle (16), when no longer in use, is not in a familiar location (24). A replay system (25) is adapted to replay the recorded data (27).
