## Abstract

Disclosed is a technique for automatically inputting information into an auto budget book program. More specifically, an auto-budget-book-program is installed within an AVN (Audio Video Navigation) system and is run each time a vehicle equipped with an AVN is refueled. The AVN system monitors a fuel gage sensor to determine when the vehicle is being refueled and activates the auto budget program as result of such a determination. Additionally, this information provided by fuel gage sensor is automatically input into the AVN system to induce users to utilize an auto budget book and as a result reduce fuel costs

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system automatically inputting data into an auto budget book of a vehicle, the system comprising;
an audio video navigation (AVN) system including at least a processor and display and wherein an auto budget book module is installed thereon; and
a fuel gauge sensor in communication with the AVN system,
wherein the AVN system receives fuel quantity data from the fuel gauge sensor periodically, activates the auto budget book module in response to determining that a fuel quantity is increasing, and automatically inputs the fuel quantity data received from the fuel gauge sensor into the auto budget book module.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1, wherein the AVN system includes a global positioning system (GPS) module and a wireless communication module, and is further configured to receive location information from the GPS module, receive fuel price information from the wireless communication module and input the location and fuel price information into the auto budget book module automatically.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system according to claim 1, wherein the AVN system provides a driver with an error correction user interface on a user interface of the AVN system to allow the driver to correct errors in the inputted information.

### Claim 4

A method comprising;
measuring, by a sensor, a fuel quantity and inputting the fuel quantity into an audio video navigation (AVN) system;
determining, by the AVN system, whether the fuel quantity is increasing;
activating an auto budget book module in response to the AVN system determining the fuel quantity is increasing; and
automatically inputting, by an AVN system, the received fuel quantity data into the auto budget book module.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method according to claim 4, wherein the AVN system includes a global positioning system (GPS) module and a wireless communication module, and the method further includes receiving location information from the GPS module, receiving fuel price information from the wireless communication module and automatically inputting the location and fuel price information into the auto budget book module.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The method according to claim 4, the method further comprising;
providing a driver with an error correction user interface on a user interface of the AVN system to allow the driver to correct errors in the inputted information.
