  • INSURANCE VERTICAL MARKET SPECIALIZATION
    Publication number: 20150339780
    Abstract: Vertical insurance market specialization is provided where policies can be created based on granular information related to actual usage of an object. The information can be received in real time or near real time, and specific market definitions can be created based on the information. Insurance companies can bid on specific market definitions, and an owner of the object can select coverage. In cases of automobile insurance, route information or other sensed parameters (such as driving behavior) can be provided to define an insurance market for a specific driver. Allowing companies to bid on the specific instances allows for increased competition and lower cost than current blanket solutions.

  • VISIBLE INSURANCE
    Publication number: 20150324927
    Abstract: Real-time insurance rates can be generated and presented to a driver—as the rate changes, the change can be shown through an interface. Different factors can be evaluated and based upon a result of the evaluation, the rate can be determined. The determination can be performed locally at a vehicle as well as by an insurance company. A bidding process can be used where different insurance companies supply rates and a user or automated process selects the rate for use—the selected rate is conveyed upon the interface.

  • Extended function audio connectors
    Patent number: 9172780
    Abstract: A telecommunications device capable of performing a plurality of functions in addition to telecommunications functions is disclosed. The telecommunications device comprises a memory, a processor, and instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor. The instructions are configured such that the device performs a function specified by the instructions to be performed when a pulsed analog electrical signal is received via a contact point on an integrated plug that is inserted into a socket on the device and that has three electrically independent microphone contacts, wherein the signal is generated responsive to an action taken on a hardware component on the device, and wherein the specification of the function to be performed occurs after the manufacturing process for the device is complete.
