  • Publication number: 20230196473
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses and computer-readable media for receiving data from one or more sensors associated with one or more home devices, such as appliances, home systems, etc. are presented. In some examples, the data may be used to determine whether the home device is operating within an expected range. The data may be used to identify abnormal operating conditions in a first home. Based on the identified abnormal operating conditions a root cause of the abnormal operating conditions may be determined. A message may be transmitted to at least one additional home. The message may include the root cause of the abnormal operating conditions occurring in the first home. The message may be used to alert other homes to current conditions so that they can take preventive action. The data may also be used to determine an insurance rate or premium for participating homes.

  • Patent number: 10699346
    Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses and computer-readable media for receiving data from one or more sensors associated with one or more home devices, such as appliances, home systems, etc. are presented. In some examples, the data may be used to determine whether the home device is operating within an expected range. The system may determine a home profile and/or neighborhood rating factor which may be used to adjust insurance premiums. The home profile may be generated based on the normal operating conditions of the home based on the analysis of the sensor data. An insurance premium rate may be determined based on the generated home profile and neighborhood rating factor.

  • Patent number: 8719134
    Abstract: A first amount of insurance may be determined for a first set of at least one insured entities covered under a single insurance policy. Replacement cost factor data relating to the single insurance policy may be received from at least one source. Received replacement cost factor data may be used to determine a first replacement cost for the first set of at least one insured entities covered under the single insurance policy. A determination may be made that the first amount of insurance is greater than the first replacement cost. A first insurance premium may be calculated for the single insurance policy using at least the first amount of insurance and the first replacement cost. The calculated insurance premium may be less than a second insurance premium for a second set of at least one insured entities for which a second amount of insurance and a second replacement cost are both equal to the first amount of insurance.
