Abstract: The following relates generally to assisting with replacement of a physical item. In some embodiments, one or more processors: receive an indication of an insurance claim including an indication of a physical item to be replaced; determine a set of potential replacement items for the physical item to be replaced; retrieve virtual data of the set of potential replacement items; and present, in a virtual environment, the set of potential replacement items to a user.

Abstract: The following relates generally to providing insurance for a non-fungible token (NFT). For example, an NFT may represent ownership of a digital asset, such as an image and/or video. However, NFTs are sometimes lost (e.g., due to hacking, data corruption, etc.), and it thus may be wise to purchase insurance for the NFT. As such, in some embodiments, one or more processors: receive a request to purchase insurance for an NFT; determine an insurance premium for the NFT; and send an insurance quote including the determined insurance premium.

Abstract: The following relates generally to updating an inventory of insured items. In some embodiments, one or more processors: identify a digital wallet of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) configured to store NFTs that correspond to insured items associated with an individual; detect a request to add a NFT corresponding to an insured item to the digital wallet; update the digital wallet to include the NFT; and display a virtual representation of the insured items of the NFTs of the digital wallet.

The system comprises a server having a processor and a data storage device for storing documents, at least one document provider connected to the server, the at least one document provider operable to provide user documents to the server for storage in the data storage device, the user documents containing at least one object of security concern, and at least one document consumer connected to the server, the at least one document consumer operable to receive the user documents containing the at least one object of security concern from the server.

Abstract: The following relates generally to providing insurance for one or more virtual items in a virtual environment. In some embodiments, an insurance server receives a request for insurance for one or more virtual items from a customer. The insurance server then obtains information associated with the one or more virtual items from a virtual environment server, and determines an insurance premium based upon the received information. The following also relates generally to providing backups of virtual items. In some embodiments, a backup server creates backups of virtual items by writing data associated with the virtual item to a data store. The virtual items may be fungible or non-fungible. In some embodiments, the virtual items are periodically backed up.

Abstract: Far field devices typically rely on audio only for enabling user interaction and involve only audio processing. Adding a vision-based modality can greatly improve the user interface of far field devices to make them more natural to the user. For instance, users can look at the device to interact with it rather than having to repeatedly utter a wakeword. Vision can also be used to assist audio processing, such as to improve the beamformer. For instance, vision can be used for direction of arrival estimation. Combining vision and audio can greatly enhance the user interface and performance of far field devices.

Abstract: In a method for applying penalties or incentives to a driver of a rented vehicle, an indication that the driver has agreed to terms for renting the vehicle from the vehicle owner is received, with the terms including the potential application of penalties or incentives to the driver based on driving behavior. Telematics data, indicative of operation of the rented vehicle by the driver during a period of time, is received. By analyzing the telematics data, one or more driving behaviors of the driver during the time period is/are identified. For each driving behavior, a corresponding state of an environment of the rented vehicle when the driving behavior occurred is determined. One or more penalties or incentives are caused to be applied to the driver, based on the driving behavior(s) and the corresponding state(s) of the environment of the rented vehicle.
