  • Patent number: 12384383
    Abstract: A system may include sensors that may acquire health data related to an individual. The system may also include a processor that may receive trip data associated with a current location of the individual and a destination location for the individual, traffic condition data associated with routes between the current location and the destination location, and weather related data associated with the routes. The processor may also receive the health data from the sensors and determine whether the individual is associated with a driver assessment score above a threshold based on the trip data, the traffic condition data, the weather data, the health data, or any combination thereof. The processor may then send an activation signal to a vehicle control system in response to the driver assessment score being above the threshold, such that the activation signal may enable the vehicle control system to control operations of a vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12387274
    Abstract: A method may include receiving, via at least one processor, a plurality of images representative of a property and determining whether two or more images of the plurality of images correspond to reference image data associated with the property. The method may then involve combining the images to generate a digitally stitched image that corresponds to the reference image data in response to the images corresponding to the reference image data and comparing the digitally stitched image to the reference image data to identify features associated with the property. The method may also involve updating a model representative of the property based on the features and generating an updated insurance policy associated with the property based on the model. Afterwards, the method may send a notification indicative of the updated insurance policy to a computing device.

  • Patent number: 12387218
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods to generate user or user group behavior similarities based on computing distances between individual users or user groups and without using demographic data, e.g., based on anonymized data. The methods include creating a multidimensional vector representation for each user in a group by summarizing user's behaviors across various categories. Based on the created vectors, distance calculation and nearest neighbor search are performed to locate users that are most similar to target users. The resulting distance metrics may be used to rank similarities. Additionally, dimensionality reduction may be performed to further distill the behavior information to make the disclosed methods suitable for a variety of analytics and modeling tasks.

  • Patent number: 12379116
    Abstract: The embodiments provide a system and method for filtering out smoke and/or toxic gases/fumes from air in a building. The system integrates various smart devices with an HVAC system along with a controlling software application that can change the state of the smart devices, thereby controlling the types and quantities of air moving through the HVAC system at any time. In particular, the system can adjust the openings of one or more smart registers to control how much air passes in and out of the HVAC system over a given period of time. The system can also adjust the opening of a smart intake vent to control how much fresh (outside) air passes into the system over a given period of time. The system can also adjust the opening of a smart furnace valve that is disposed within the furnace.
