  • Patent number: 12293416
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention are directed to methods and systems for efficiently communicating data between an insurer and a non-referral repair shop, e.g., vehicle repair shops that are normally not preapproved by the insurer to perform the estimating and repair work. The methods and systems described herein are particularly useful for insurers utilizing non-referral repair shops for servicing vehicles involved in insurance claims. According to aspects of this invention, the insured may be able to select a non-referral repair shop, not delegated or preapproved by the insurer, thereby generally allowing the insured to select any available vehicle repair shop.

  • Publication number: 20250130054
    Abstract: Implementations include classifying vehicle trips as similar to previous trips based on location information of a vehicle received from a location device. Unique tile identifiers of the trip, each corresponding to a geographic area and the location information, may be determined and used to generate a fingerprint of the trip. The derived trip fingerprint of the trip information may be compared to stored fingerprints of one or more previously received trips to determine if the new trip is similar to one or more of the previous trips. In one instance, information or data of a new trip may be adjusted based on previous trip data. For example, aspects of the new trip or the previous trip may be updated with information or data of a previous trip fi the new trip and the previous trip are similar.
