  • Publication number: 20140114690
    Abstract: The systems and methods of the invention provide a workflow system for processing a financial application in an automated manner. The workflow system may include an interface portion, the interface portion inputting application information into the workflow system for processing by the workflow system and a workflow looping portion. The workflow looping portion may include performing underwriting processing to effect underwriting of the application based on the application information, performing issue processing to effect issue of the application, and performing settlement processing to effect settlement of the application. A rules logic portion may be provided to control the implementation of rules applied to the processing of the application as the application passes through the automated processing.

  • Patent number: 7844476
    Abstract: A process for at least a partial underwriting of insurance policies is described. Based on the similarity to previous insurance applications, a decision on the current request for underwriting may be made. This decision-making process represents an analogical approach to the placement of an insurance application to an underwriting category, whereby a given insurance application request is compared to previous requests.

  • Patent number: 6956939
    Abstract: An apparatus, method and system are provided for message-based intelligent tandeming of an incoming call to an application node in telecommunication systems. The various embodiments utilize a new parameter, referred to as a tandem parameter, to designate whether incoming calls to a particular subscriber are to be tandemed to an application node or are to be delivered directly to the subscriber. The preferred system embodiment includes an adjunct network entity, a database, and a switching center. The adjunct network entity, such as a service circuit node or service control point, has one or more application nodes or platforms, supporting various telecommunication services such as prepaid services, calling party pays services, and one number services. The database, such as a home location register or visitor location register, stores information such as subscriber profiles, and includes storing the tandem parameter.

  • Publication number: 20030182159
    Abstract: A process to structure and summarize the key information required by automated decision-making systems for insurance underwriting is described. The automated underwriting system may be based on rules corresponding to underwriting components, wherein based on the degree of satisfaction of each rule, a component may be assigned to a category, and based on the category for each component, the insurance application may be assigned an underwriting category, or the automated underwriting system may be based on an evaluation of the similarity of a given application to previous application requests, to decide an underwriting category. Most of the key information required for automated insurance underwriting is structured and standardized, except for the Attending Physician Statement (APS), which is almost as unique as each individual physician.
