Publication number: 20240152992Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed herein. The system includes one or more servers, one or more processors and a memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations. The operations include receiving data and information associated with a user, and executing a first ML algorithm to select which other ML algorithm to execute to determine a value profile associated with a collateral asset. Additional ML algorithms are executed to generate a collateral profile associated with the collateral asset, an activity profile associated with a user, and a household profile associated with the user. Data from among the profiles is combined to generate a digital asset, and advanced analytics are applied to the digital asset, in connection with rules and policies, to identify a user-specific product offering. The user-specific product offering is communicated to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Citizens Financial Group, Inc.Inventors: Adam Boyd, Jeffrey Scott Lehman, Nathan McGregor, Steven Mark Bortnick, Lance Haugen

Patent number: 11977874Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring use, determining risk, and pricing insurance policies for a vehicle having one or more autonomous or semi-autonomous operation features are provided. According to certain aspects, an identity of a vehicle operator may be determined and a vehicle operator profile and/or operating data regarding autonomous operation features of the vehicle may be received after the vehicle operator opts into a rewards program and agrees to share their data. Autonomous operation and vehicle operator risk levels associated with operation of the autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle may be determined. Based upon the risk levels and/or comparison thereof, one or more autonomous operation features may be disengaged. A preparedness level of the vehicle operator to assume or reassume control of operating the vehicle is determined prior to disengagement. If satisfactory, an alert is presented to the vehicle operator prior to disengagement of the autonomous operation features.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Brian Mark Fields, Chien Che Huang, Mohamed A.

Patent number: 11954482Abstract: According to certain aspects, a computer-implemented method for operating an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle may be provided. With the customer's permission, an identity of a vehicle operator may be identified and a vehicle operator profile may be retrieved. Operating data regarding autonomous operation features operating the vehicle may be received from vehicle-mounted sensors. When a request to disable an autonomous feature is received, a risk level for the autonomous feature is determined and compared with a driver behavior setting for the autonomous feature stored in the vehicle operator profile. Based upon the risk level comparison, the autonomous vehicle retains control of vehicle or the autonomous feature is disengaged depending upon which is the safer driver—the autonomous vehicle or the vehicle human occupant. As a result, unsafe disengagement of self-driving functionality for autonomous vehicles may be alleviated.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Brian Mark Fields, Chien Che Huang, Mohamed A.

Publication number: 20240055001Abstract: Prevention of voice misappropriation in voice interaction/response systems. The system relies on telemetry data, including thermal data of components to determine whether a received voice command was made by actual voice. If the voice command is determined to have been made by an actual voice, a response to the command is generated and transmitted, otherwise if the voice command is determined to have likely not been made by an actual voice (e.g., artificial means replicating a voice, such as a laser or the like), no response to the command is transmitted or action taken with respect to the command.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATIONInventor: Steven Mark DiMaria
