  • Patent number: 11869092
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring use and determining risks associated with operation of a vehicle having one or more autonomous operation features are provided. According to certain aspects, operating data may be recorded during operation of the vehicle. This may include information regarding the vehicle, the vehicle environment, use of the autonomous operation features, and/or control decisions made by the features. The control decisions may include actions the feature would have taken to control the vehicle, but which were not taken because a vehicle operator was controlling the relevant aspect of vehicle operation at the time. The operating data may be recorded in a log, which may then be used to determine risk levels associated with vehicle operation based upon risk levels associated with the autonomous operation features. The risk levels may further be used to adjust an insurance policy associated with the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11861720
    Abstract: To extract information from a customer's insurance card, an insurance policy recordation system obtains a scanned image of an insurance card and analyzes text in the insurance card image to identify labels describing insurance policy characteristics and insurance policy values corresponding to the insurance policy characteristics. The insurance policy recordation system compares the identified insurance policy values to a set of stored identifiers associated with various insurance plans. If the insurance policy values match one or more of the identifiers, the insurance policy recordation system may determine that the insurance policy values are valid and that the customer has the matching insurance plan. The insurance policy recordation system may obtain additional insurance policy information for the customer based on the stored information in association with the matching insurance plan.

In addition, the system may analyze the characteristic information to identify various users having a low exposure of an infringement claim being asserted. The identified users may be actively targeted to acquire an IP protection policy.

  • Patent number: 11810407
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for facilitating V2X communications using a connected vehicle platform. The techniques include receiving, from an onboard diagnostics (OBD) accessory device, a vehicle report comprising vehicle data of a vehicle equipped with the OBD accessory device, the vehicle located at a target location. An additional vehicle located within a predetermined distance of the target location is identified. The additional vehicle is equipped with an onboard diagnostics unit (OBU). A traffic advisory message is generated based at least on the vehicle data in the vehicle report. Thereafter, the techniques include determining whether the additional vehicle is located within a communication range of the vehicle and in response to making a determination that the additional vehicle is located outside of the communication range of the vehicle, the traffic advisory message is broadcasted to the OBU of the additional vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11810112
    Abstract: Aspects described herein may use a machine learning model to identify transactions likely to be remembered by a user and that may be used to generate challenge questions to authenticate the user. An individual may request an action related to a financial account. In response to the request, the machine learning model may determine a likelihood an authorized user of the financial account will remember one or more recent transactions. The likelihood of each candidate transaction may be compared to a predetermined threshold to determine a subset of recent transactions. Information relating to the subset of recent transactions may be used to generate one or more challenge questions to pose to the user. The user's responses to the challenge questions may be used to evaluate whether the user is the authorized user of the financial account or is a fraudster or imposter.

  • Patent number: 11810053
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting predetermined events occurring during delivery of an ordered product to a delivery address is provided. Upon receipt of a customer order, delivery of the ordered product is assigned to a delivery driver/vehicle which includes a stand-alone communication device disposed in the delivery vehicle. As the delivery trip begins, various position and acceleration information is collected by the communication device, processed to determine whether a predetermined driving event has occurred, and stored. This information is transmitted periodically to a processing system for eventual communication to a home location store associated with the delivery order. Additional processing of the delivery trip data may occur to enable a review of the delivery trip and any detected events along the delivery path.

  • Patent number: 11798093
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a risk relationship data store may contain electronic records, each electronic record representing a risk relationship between an enterprise and a risk relationship provider (e.g., an insurer), and including, for each risk relationship, an electronic record identifier and a set of estimated usage attribute values. A back-end application computer server may receive, from a current usage data source, current usage information for the enterprise (e.g., financial information, utility information, IoT information, etc.). Based on the current usage information, the computer server may infer a likely actual current usage for the enterprise. The computer server may then compare the likely actual current usage with the predicted usage attribute value to determine a risk difference result and adjust a risk relationship parameter based on the risk difference result.
