  • Patent number: 12182881
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for an automated system for analyzing damage to process claims and pre-claim consultations associated with an insured item, such as a vehicle. An enhanced claims processing server may analyze damage associated with the insured item using photos/video transmitted to the server from a user device (e.g., a mobile device). The mobile device may receive feedback from the server regarding the acceptability of submitted photos/video, and if the server determines that any of the submitted photos/video is unacceptable, the mobile device may capture additional photos/video until all of the data are deemed acceptable. In addition, the server may interface with third party entities such as repair shops and may generate a payment for compensating a claimant for repair of the insured item.

  • Patent number: 12182879
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for a computerized system for quoting home owners insurance and providing a more consultative way of delivering insurance quotes and insurance quote information. The system may present insurance consumers with an automated process of asking questions and receiving feedback. Based on the feedback, the system may provide insurance options and explanations of those options enabling consumers to make a decision that best fits their personal situation. For example, systems and methods are directed to determining and providing a deductible that fits a user based on the user's tolerance for risk and cash position. The system may also provide a description of the types of risks and damages that are covered by particular insurance coverages. The system may also provide an analysis of the insurance obtained by similarly situated individuals. The system may also provide descriptions of insurance features.

  • Patent number: 12179775
    Abstract: Implementations claimed and described herein provide systems and methods for generating a driving behavior assessment using telematics data. The systems and methods use different types of telematics data generated via different data connections. Vehicle behavior telematics data is generated using a first type of connection with a vehicle (e.g., using an onboard diagnostics (OBD) device) and personal mobility telematics data is generated using a second type of connection via a mobile device associated with a vehicle operator. One or more driving attributes associated with the vehicle operator are determined by the system based on at least one of the vehicle behavior telematics data or the personal mobility telematics data. Scoring factors are calculated based on the one or more driving attributes. Furthermore, a policy level rate structure for an insurance policy can be generated based on the one or more scoring factors.

  • Patent number: 12175524
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to computing platforms that utilize improved mitigation analysis and policy management techniques to improve onboarding security. A computing platform may determine that a predetermined period of time has elapsed since finalizing an onboarding process. The computing platform may receive spot check verification inputs indicative of a user identity and may direct a mitigation analysis and output generation platform to analyze the spot check verification inputs. The computing platform may receive an indication of a correlation between the spot check verification inputs and expected spot check verification inputs. In response to determining that the correlation exceeds a predetermined threshold, the computing platform may determine that an additional verification test should be conducted, and may direct the mobile device to display an interface that prompts for additional onboarding verification inputs.

  • Patent number: 12174036
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for engaging autonomous driving algorithms based on driver frustration levels and vehicle conditions. A frustration level of a driver of a vehicle may be determined using one or more sensors. Based on a determination that the frustration level satisfies a threshold, one or more automated driving algorithms which may be engaged by the vehicle to improve the safety of the driver may be determined. The threshold may be based on a road segment traveled by the vehicle, the user, or similar considerations. Based on a determination that the frustration level satisfies a threshold, engagement of the one or more automated driving algorithms may be caused.

  • Patent number: 12165210
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein describe deploying a plurality of microservices to calculate an insurance rate. The plurality of microservices may operate in parallel to calculate a plurality of partial rates that are combined (e.g., added up) to determine the insurance rate. During the calculating steps, one or more rating factors may be cached and/or stored. The plurality of microservices may reduce the time and/or resources required by a processor to calculate an insurance rate, while the stored rating factors may be displayed to the user to provide greater transparency into how the insurance rate was calculated.

  • Publication number: 20240403965
    Abstract: An aerial image system may generate images of structures providing views that might otherwise be difficult to obtain. These images may be used to determine various characteristics of the structure, which may then be processed for a variety of tasks including product marketing, claim processing and post-claim analysis. The images may be analyzed by the aerial image system or by a ground-based processing system to determine the structural characteristics such as roof age, roof type and roof pitch. In some examples, image analysis techniques such as edge detection and contrast determination may assist in determining the requisite data. Additionally or alternatively, the processing system may direct or control one or more image capture devices to obtain desired images.
