Patent number: 11949999Abstract: A gate-based vehicle image capture system for analyzing vehicle image data is presented. The system may include a portable imaging gate apparatus configured to capture vehicle image data of a vehicle. The portable imaging gate apparatus may include a plurality of imaging assemblies positioned at a plurality of viewing angles. The system may further include an external processing server configured to receive the vehicle image data from the portable imaging gate apparatus. The external processing server may also analyze the vehicle image data to identify a plurality of vehicle features, and determine a first vehicle feature from the plurality of vehicle features. The first vehicle feature may be related to a vehicle incident. The system may also include a provider server configured to receive the first vehicle feature from the external processing server, and update an aspect of a risk evaluation based on the first vehicle feature.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: BLUEOWL, LLCInventors: Theobolt N. Leung, Vinay Kumar, Holger Struppek, Scott Howard, Kenneth J. Sanchez, John Minichiello

Publication number: 20230342855Abstract: Method and system for detecting potential fraudulent activities in vehicle insurance claims. For example, the method includes receiving, from a mobile computing device, a claim request comprising claims data, receiving, from the mobile computing device, a digital file comprising first images of a vehicle involved in an accident supporting the claim request, extracting metadata from the first images, comparing the metadata with the claims data, generating an assessment of the claim request based at least in part upon the comparing, and displaying the assessment of the claim request via a user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2020Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Kenneth Jason Sanchez, Theobolt N. Leung, Holger Struppek, Scott Howard, John Minichiello, Vinay Kumar

Publication number: 20230334987Abstract: A video analytics based image verification system for obtaining initial vehicle profiles is presented. The system may include an external processing server that receives a location of a vehicle and proximate traffic information to determine whether it is safe for a user to obtain an initial vehicle profile. The external processing server may further determine first and second profile features from video data indicative of the vehicle. The external processing server may compare the second profile feature to an image verification indicator to generate an image verification score. A provider server may receive the first profile feature and the image verification score from the external processing server, and update a risk evaluation to include the initial vehicle profile if the image verification score is above an image verification threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2023Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Theobolt N. Leung, Vinay Kumar, Holger Struppek, Scott Howard, Kenneth J. Sanchez, John Minichiello

Publication number: 20230237584Abstract: Method and system for evaluating vehicle insurance claims. For example, the method includes collecting pre-accident images of a vehicle before one or more accidents, collecting telematics data of the vehicle during the one or more accidents, determining predicted post-accident images of the vehicle based upon the pre-accident images and the telematics data after the one or more accidents, receiving submitted post-accident images for vehicle insurance claims associated with the vehicle, comparing the predicted post-accident images with the submitted post-accident images, and determining whether frauds have been committed in the vehicle insurance claims based upon the comparison of the predicted post-accident images with the submitted post-accident images.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2020Publication date: July 27, 2023Inventors: Kenneth Jason Sanchez, Holger Struppek, Scott Howard, John Minichiello

Patent number: 11710097Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing documentation for assessing potential fraudulent user submissions are provided. According to certain aspects, a server computer may receive an initial set of documentation descriptive of damage to a property asset, and may analyze the initial set of documentation to determine whether additional documentation is needed. The server computer may initiate a communication channel with a user device via which the additional documentation may be submitted, and the server computer may similarly analyze the additional documentation to determine a likelihood of fraud. The server computer may process the user submission accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2019Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: BlueOwl, LLCInventors: Kenneth J. Sanchez, Theobolt N. Leung, Holger Struppek, Scott Howard, John Minichiello, Vinay Kumar
