  • Patent number: 11551307
    Abstract: Methods and systems for facilitating photo-based estimation are described. In an aspect, a computing device is configured to receive, from the camera, a signal comprising image data. The image data may represent at least a portion of a vehicle. The computing device may also retrieve data representing a preferred scene of the vehicle and determine, based on the image data and based on the data representing the preferred scene of the vehicle, whether the image data corresponds to the preferred scene of the vehicle. The server may, when the received image data corresponds to the preferred scene of the vehicle, enable capture of the image data. The server may send, via the communications module, a signal representing the captured image data to a processing server configured to analyze the captured image data to assess vehicular damage.

  • Patent number: 11531690
    Abstract: A geospatial query and navigation process generates a first filtered result comprising assets that satisfy a user generated query, where each asset includes a geospatial location and an exposure rank that estimates a risk associated with the asset based at least in part, upon a policy limit of a policy associated with the asset. The process also generates a current view of a geographical map, and positions indicia on the current view of the geographical map representing assets within the first filtered result according to their geospatial location that are also located within the current view of the geographical map and that also satisfy a predefined exposure rank requirement. The process modifies the current view of the geographical map to alter displayed geographical boundaries responsive to a user entered selection, whereupon the displayed indicia representing assets is updated according to the modified view of the geographical map.

  • Patent number: 11521273
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for using a virtual representation of an indoor environment to identify contents that have been damaged (e.g., by flooding). A virtual representation of a physical scene of an indoor environment is processed to identify a list of contents in the physical scene. The virtual representation may include 2-dimensional representations of the physical scene (e.g., images or video) or a 3-dimensional representation of the physical scene (e.g., 3D digital model). A reference line is determined in the virtual representation that is indicative of a maximum vertical extent of the damage in the physical scene. The position of the reference line is compared with the position of the identified contents in the virtual representation to determine contents that are likely to be damaged. For example, the contents that are at or below a plane represented by the reference line in the virtual representation may be identified as damaged.
