  • Patent number: 11676202
    Abstract: An integrated transaction platform facilitates a transaction, such as a purchase of a vehicle or other item. The platform provides a pre-negotiated purchase price for the item to facilitate a transaction to purchase the item from a seller, the transaction being substantially frictionless from the buyer's perspective. The pre-negotiation can involve a reverse auction process in which sellers bid to sell the item to a buyer. After the buyer has identified a particular item for purchase, sellers that have the item available are notified to provide a bid indicating a price at which the seller is willing to sell the item. The lowest bid is selected, and a purchase agreement is finalized based on the lowest bid. After the agreement is finalized, the buyer can accept delivery of the item without further negotiation with the seller, and thus with substantially reduced friction compared to traditional purchase scenarios.

  • Patent number: 11669868
    Abstract: A method is described of facilitating targeted content delivery in a network comprising at least one service provider network (SPN) and a user profile data database located externally to the SPN. A network device located externally to the SPN performs the method, which comprises accessing user profile data from the user profile database and receiving, from a demand side platform via the network, segment definition data comprising a list of user attributes and attribute values associated with a given targeted content delivery process. The method further comprises determining, for each identified user identified, to include the user in a list of candidate users to be targeted if user attribute values of the user match user attribute values from the received list. User identifiers for each entry in the list of candidate users are communicated to an entity in a first SPN responsible for facilitating the delivery of targeted content.

  • Patent number: 11669809
    Abstract: Intelligent vehicle repair estimating techniques include an image processing component that extracts image attributes from one or more images of a damaged vehicle, and utilizes the attributes to predict an initial set of parts that are globally-identified. Based on a jurisdiction associated with the damaged vehicle, the initial set of parts is transformed into a set of jurisdictionally-based repairs (e.g., parts, labor operations, time intervals, costs, etc.), which may be included in a draft vehicle repair estimate. An estimate refinement component iteratively modifies/refines the draft estimate using a machine-only loop nested within a larger human-machine loop, where system-generated modifications are incrementally incorporated into the draft within the smaller loop, and user-generated modifications are incrementally incorporated into the draft within the larger loop.

  • Patent number: 11657418
    Abstract: The process of obtaining an insurance quote is currently based on information provided by filing online forms. Insurance companies use the consumer input data from online the forms to provide a quote for property insurance and for insurance underwriting. To complete the underwriting, the insurance companies have to make assumptions on various factors; for example, the structure and layout of a consumer's home, what type of content the consumer owns, its value, and its condition, among several others. It is desirable to get more accurate data on the consumer content, the structure and layout of the home, as well as other factors (e.g., hazards such as whether a house is on a canyon) in an automated fashion which would let insurance companies underwrite policies with a more accurate risk profile as well as save costs by not having to send an onsite inspector.
