Patent number: 11852495Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing recommendations of safe driving routes that are tailored to the driving habits of particular drivers. A machine learning model (e.g., an artificial neural network) may be trained using data indicative of insurance claim severity, road conditions, and/or vehicle telematics data associated with vehicle-related incidents, such as vehicle collisions. The machine learning model may be trained to identify road types and conditions that are predictive of claim frequency and severity. Any given driving route(s) may be provided to the trained machine learning model, and a risk value may be computed for the route(s). By further applying a personalized driver profile to the calculations of risk, personalized risk values may be computed for the route(s), and a safest route may be recommended to a driver.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2020Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: BlueOwl, LLCInventor: Kenneth Jason Sanchez

Patent number: 11847691Abstract: A user's credit score is determined based at least in part upon collected telematics data and user data associated with the user. A credit score prediction model is created using training datasets of historical data including demographics data, driver profile data, and established credit scores. The credit score prediction model is then used to predict credit scores for users without formal credit scores. A user's credit score is predicted based at least in part upon a driver profile built using telematics data, among other factors.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2020Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: BLUEOWL, LLCInventor: Michael Sungjun Kim

Patent number: 11838392Abstract: A device for facilitating event processing is presented. The device includes a transceiver, one or more memories including an event processing model, and one or more processors. The processors retrieve a new event from an application programming interface (API). The processors then parse the new event to determine a parsed event and store the parsed event in the memories. After determining the presence or absence of an additional new event via the API, the processors transmit a notification for display to a user indicating the parsed event and prompting a user to process the parsed event, resulting in either a successful or a failure processing signal. Responsive to receiving a failure processing signal, the processors schedule a subsequent notification for transmission to the user device according to an event processing model by using an exponential back-off and a random jitter.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: BLUEOWL, LLCInventors: Jose Pons Vega, Marco Ancheta

Patent number: 11823273Abstract: Technology for identifying potentially fraudulent user behavior related to the capture and transmission of vehicle trip telemetry data is provided. Automatic and periodic attempts may be made to wake up (e.g., launch, or change to an active mode) an application installed on a mobile device configured to transmit mobile device data, including captured sensor data, to a remote computer device. Based on the sensor data, the remote computer device may determine a number, frequency, and/or duration of vehicle trips associated with the user of the mobile device. When one or more types of expected mobile device data are not received by the remote computer device after a particular attempt to wake the application, data indicating a failure to receive expected mobile device data may be recorded in a log. Based on the log, an alert indicating potentially fraudulent behavior associated with the user of the mobile device may be generated.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: BlueOwl, LLCInventors: Bennett Smith, Kenneth J.

Patent number: 11807248Abstract: Systems and methods for providing continuous safe-driver training safely are provided. A safe-driving challenge may be presented to an operator of a vehicle. Data captured by sensors associated with the vehicle may be analyzed to determine whether the operator of the vehicle has completed the safe-driving challenge. Based on a determination that the operator of the vehicle has completed the safe-driving challenge, a notification may be provided to the operator (e.g., indicating to the operator that he or she has successfully completed the challenge). A processor may randomly select whether a reward is to be provided to the operator of the vehicle based on the determination that the operator of the vehicle has completed the safe-driving challenge. Moreover, if a reward is to be provided to the operator of the vehicle, a processor may randomly select a type of reward to be provided to the operator of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2023Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: BlueOwl, LLCInventors: Theobolt N.
