    Abstract: An automated system, phone distraction detector and method for automatically detecting phone distraction events in a moving vehicle, caused by a driver of the moving vehicle by using a smartphone. An Internet of Things (IoT) server is communicatively coupled to the smartphone. The smartphone (comprises one or more sensors built into the smartphone, wherein sensory data of the one or more sensors, are captured by the sensors of the smartphone during a vehicle trip and are transmitted to the Internet of Things (IoT) server, and wherein the sensor data comprises one or more chunks of data streams associated with an IoT service from the smartphone. The sensory data are processed and analyzed by the server to identify one or more phone handling events associated with the smartphone during the vehicle trip. One or more phone handling events associated with the smartphone are aggregated into one or more macro events by the processing means of the server.

  • Patent number: 11386376
    Abstract: A risk parsing device provides risk splitting and loss event diversification for a multi-risk forecast systems capturing multiple loss aggregation under complex environmental conditions based on the occurrence of defined loss events. The loss events are triggered by one or more involved causing units and affected units, wherein the loss events evolve from one or multiple risk accumulating sources. Risk events related loss measures can be scattered over multiple causing units or multiple related clash events. The multi-risk forecast system provides loss-generating processes and events, wherein the inventive risk splitter is a technical core element to generate an event-related loss distribution mirroring cause-effect chains induced by the risk events which extend over space and time. The risk splitter module allows automated splitting of the risk based on risk exposed, causing unit characteristics and risk exposed affected units' characteristics.

  • Patent number: 11361382
    Abstract: A system for risk sharing of a variable number of objects includes circuitry that receives transmitted air data parameters of aircraft controllers and/or ground-based flight controllers of air-ports or flight control systems and filters the transmitted air data parameters to detect flight indicators indicating predicted or actual flight time parameters assigned to a specific flight trajectory of an aircraft. The circuitry also dynamically triggers the flight time parameters via data flow pathway of the aircraft controllers and/or the ground-based flight controllers based on a predefined time-delay threshold value. For each triggered occurrence of a time delay associated with the specific flight trajectory, the circuitry sets a corresponding trigger-flag to all the objects assignable to that flight, and allocates a parametric transfer of payments to each trigger-flag.

  • Patent number: 11138671
    Abstract: Proposed is an adaptive, layered, automated risk-transfer system and method thereof, with a self-optimizing, increased leveraged capacity and enhanced drop-down cover structure with a plurality of adjustable risk-transfer layers. If a triggered risk-event is assignable to either of the top risk-transfer layer or the bottom risk-transfer layer of the drop-down cover structure, a shared exhaustion factor is generated based on the assigned risk-transfer layer and based on a cover of the loss associated with the triggered risk event. The shared exhaustion factor is applied mutually to both layers by the system eroding both layers by the same exhaustion factor. The top layer and the bottom layer are reinstatable by a corresponding generated normalized reinstatement parameter values normalized over both layers and based on a thus provided shared limit and the erosion of the top layer and the bottom layer.
