Method and system for using routine driving information in mobile interactive satellite services

A method for using routine driving information in mobile interactive satellite services, comprising:

• storing statistical information associated with a user routinely traveling between a first location and a second location at a first time of day utilizing at least one processing unit;
• storing information identifying at least one point-of-interest destination;
• classifying, based on the statistical information, an area associated with the second location as a routine destination area with respect to the first time of day utilizing the at least one processing unit;
• selecting a first route between the first location and a third location at the first time of day utilizing the at least one processing unit, the first route having a portion within the area and being selected based at least in part on the area being classified as a routine destination area with respect to the first time of day and the route including a first destination of the at least one point-of-interest destination;
• and
• selecting a second route between the first location and the third location at a second time of day different from the first time of day utilizing the at least one processing unit, the second route being different from the first route and being selected based at least in part on the area being a non-routine destination area with respect to the second time of day.

A method for using routine driving information in mobile interactive satellite services, comprising:

• storing statistical information associated with a user routinely traveling between a first location and a second location on a first route at a first time of day utilizing at least one processing unit, the first route including a plurality of route segments;
• classifying, based on the statistical information, each route segment from the plurality of route segments as a routine route segment with respect to the first time of day utilizing the at least one processing unit;
• selecting a first route between the first location and a third location at the first time of day utilizing the at least one processing unit, the first route including at least one route segment from the plurality of route segments and being selected based at least in part on the at least one route segment from the plurality of route segments being classified as a routine route segment with respect to the first time of day and the route segment terminating at a point-of-interest destination selected based on a community-of-interest rating for the point-of-interest destination;
• and
• selecting a second route between the first location and the third location at a second time of day different from the first time of day utilizing the at least one processing unit, the second route being different from the first route and being selected based at least in part on the at least one route segment being a non-routine route segment with respect to the second time of day.

A system for using routine driving information in mobile interactive satellite services, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one processor-readable medium, coupled to the at least one processor, that stores instructions;
• wherein the at least one processor executes the instructions stored in the at least one processor-readable medium to:
• store statistical information associated with a user routinely traveling between a first location and a second location at a first time of day;
• store second information identifying at least one point-of-interest destination;
• classify, based on the statistical information and the second information, an area associated with the second location as a routine destination area with respect to the first time of day;
• select a first route between the first location and a third location at the first time of day, the first route having a portion within the area and being selected based at least in part on the area being classified as a routine destination area with respect to the first time of day;
• and
• select a second route between the first location and the third location at a second time of day different from the first time of day, the second route being different from the first route and being selected based at least in part on the area being a non-routine destination area with respect to the second time of day.
