  • Patent number: 11710191
    Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may facilitate insurance-related tasks. UAVs may actively be dispatched to an area surrounding a property, and collect data related to property. A location for an inspection of a property to be conducted by a UAV may be received, and one or more images depicting a view of the location may be displayed via a user interface. Additionally, a geofence boundary may be determined based on an area corresponding to a property boundary, where the geofence boundary represents a geospatial boundary in which to limit flight of the UAV. Furthermore, a navigation route may be determined which corresponds to the geofence boundary for inspection of the property by the UAV, the navigation route having waypoints, each waypoint indicating a location for the UAV to obtain drone data. The UAV may be directed around the property using the determined navigation route.

  • Patent number: 11615474
    Abstract: Methods and system are described for optimizing data processing in cloud-based, machine learning environments. For example, through the use of a machine learning model utilizing a self organizing map and/or the use of specific processing nodes in a computer system to perform specific tasks the methods and system may more efficiently distribute tasks through a cloud computing environment and increase overall processing speeds despite increasing amounts of data. The methods and system described herein are particularly related to collateral allocation computer systems that automate the management of numerous collateral assets. For example, as the amount of collateral assets and the complexity of given transactions grow, typical allocation systems face frequent processing delays related to collateral allocations (e.g., allocations of collateral associated with Tri-Party Repos).
