  • BILATERAL COMMUNICATION IN A LOGIN-FREE ENVIRONMENT
    Publication number: 20230026515
    Abstract: A method, medium, and apparatus for allowing evaluation of property, such as damaged property, remotely and efficiently. A mobile computing device may be used to conduct bilateral communication between a client and an agent for evaluating property. Systems and methods may be used to efficiently automate intake of communications and intelligently load-balance resources for handling calls.
    Type: Application

    Inventors: Sean Michael Beavers, David Gilkison, Pinal Patel, Steven Genc, David M. Zahn
  • PROCESSING SYSTEM HAVING A MACHINE LEARNING ENGINE FOR PROVIDING A SURFACE DIMENSION OUTPUT
    Publication number: 20220405816
    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses for generating object dimension outputs and predicted object outputs are provided. The system may collect an image from a mobile device. The system may analyze the image to determine whether it contains one or more standardized reference objects. Based on analysis of the image and the one or more standardized reference objects, the system may determine an object dimension output. The system may also determine a predicted object output that includes additional objects predicted to be in a room corresponding to the image. Using object dimension outputs and the predicted object output, the system may determine an estimated repair cost.

    Publication number: 20220180411
    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses for generating surface dimension outputs are provided. The system may collect an image from a mobile device. The system may analyze the image to determine whether they comprise one or more standardized reference objects. Based on analysis of the image and the one or more standardized reference objects, the system may determine a surface dimension output. The system may determine one or more settlement outputs and one or more repair outputs for the driver based on the surface dimension output.
