Automatic identification of vehicle location

A computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon, the program code including instructions that, when executed by a processor in a mobile device, cause the processor to execute a method comprising:

• establishing, with a mobile device, a communication connection with at least one system of the vehicle;
• detecting, with the mobile device, a disconnection of the communication connection;
• responsive to detecting the disconnection, determining that the vehicle is in a parked state;
• responsive to determining the vehicle is in a parked state, determining a location of the mobile device;
• and
• associating the determined location with the location of the vehicle.

A method of identifying a location of a parked vehicle, the method comprising:

• obtaining, with an electronic device, one or more sensor parameters from a sensor on a mobile device;
• analyzing, with the electronic device, the one or more sensor parameters to determine whether the vehicle is in a parked state;
• identifying, with electronic device, the vehicle as being in a parked state based on the one or more sensor parameters;
• determining a location of the vehicle at a first time corresponding to when the vehicle is identified as being parked;
• and
• associating the determined location with the location of the vehicle when the vehicle is identified to be in the parked state.
