Methods and systems are provide a method for processing information associated with a vehicle. An example method includes receiving a plurality of actions set at the vehicle over a period of time. The actions can be received from a server or services of a provider over the Internet. The method includes updating a history profile for a user account of the vehicle for the plurality of actions. The history profile includes meta data for each of the plurality of actions. The method generates confidence scores for each of the plurality of actions in the history profile and generating one or more action recommendations that can be accepted for implementation by the vehicle. For actions having confidence scores that exceed a threshold, the method sends the one or more action recommendations to the user account associated with the vehicle.

The method claim 6, further comprising, for particular sensors associated with particular actions, the action recommendation includes,sending data to populate a user interface of a computing device with a control to accept or decline the option, the data sent is via a network connected to the Internet,wherein the computing device is one of a vehicle computing device, or a mobile computer device, or a tablet computing device, or a smart phone computing device, or an internet terminal computing device, or a non-portable computing device;wherein the data is sent to the user account, the user account being accessible over the Internet. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein when the sensor is a temperature sensor and the action is inputting a heating or cooling setting at the vehicle, the action recommendation includes, sending data to populate a user interface of a computing device with a control to accept or decline the option, the data sent is via a network connected to the Internet,wherein the computing device is one of a vehicle computing device, or a mobile computer device, or a tablet computing device, or a smart phone computing device, or an internet terminal computing device, or a non-portable computing device;wherein the data is sent to the user account, the user account being accessible over the Internet. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the heating or cooling setting includes one or more of activating a window defrost setting, or activating a heating setting, or activating an air conditioning setting, wherein the action recommendation for the heating or cooling setting at least in part uses weather forecast data obtained from the Internet for a predicted geo-location of the vehicle. 12. The method of claim 11, further comprising, receiving temperature data from a sensor of the vehicle;determining that the received temperature is inconsistent with the weather forecast; andprogrammatically declining the action recommendation if the action recommendation was initially accepted, such that the programming instruction is not sent to the vehicle or is updated so as to cancel the programming instruction. 13. The method of claim 1, wherein confidence scores for actions that exceed a threshold is indicative that such action will more likely than not occur again at a future time. 14. The method of claim 1, further comprising, (f) accessing third-party history profiles of other user accounts;(g) examining the actions and meta data of the third-party history profiles to identify similar actions and patterns to those of the history profile;(h) adjusting one or more of the action recommendations in (d) based on the examining of (g), the adjusting being weighted to provide more significance to meta data in the history profile than that in the third-party history profiles. 15.
