  • Publication number: 20210256620
    Abstract: Method, apparatus, systems, and non-transitory media are described to simplify a user's interaction with a quoting application. Some data ordinarily requested by the user may be found from one of several private, public, and/or proprietary sources, so some prompts that would ordinarily need to be answered by the user may be eliminated. The described aspects also include retrieving data associated with one or more prompts, making assumptions about the user from the data, and using this data to prepopulate prompts. A control option indicative of a user's desired level of interaction with the application may affect the number of assumptions made and the number of omitted and/or prepopulated prompts presented to the user. By supplementing the user's prompt answers with database data, the number of prompts that need to be answered by the user may be reduced, thereby saving time for the user.

  • Patent number: 10102588
    Abstract: In a method, a client device may be caused to provide an interactive display to the customer. The display may include controls usable by the customer to select different coverage combinations for a hypothetical policy, and an insurance premium quote for the hypothetical policy. Each control may enable the customer to adjust coverage for a different coverage type, be associated with a control graphic, and include a respective set of radio buttons distributed along a line within the control graphic. Each radio button may correspond to a different coverage level. The client device may also be caused to display, each time the customer adjusts a control by selecting a new radio button, a current selection indicator at the new radio button. The client device may also be caused to set, each time the customer selects a new coverage combination, the premium quote to a value corresponding to the new combination.
