Patent number: 12380232Abstract: Methods and systems for managing and/or processing a blockchain to maintain data security for confidential and/or personal data are provided. According to certain aspects, the disclosed data security techniques may enable access sharing functionality utilizing the blockchain. For example, access sharing may be utilized to share policy information. The policy information may be associated with a smart contract. Accordingly, the policy information may be encrypted using a public key for the smart contract and compiled into a block of the blockchain. In response to a request to provide access to the information to a particular node, the private key for the smart contract may be encrypted using the public key for the particular node and compiled into a block of the blockchain.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2024Date of Patent: August 5, 2025Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Melinda Teresa Magerkurth, Eric Bellas, Jaime Skaggs, Shawn M. Call, Eric R. Moore, Vicki King, Burton J. Floyd, David Turrentine, Steven T. Olson, Timothy Caleb Wells, Corin Rebekah Chapman, Edward W. Breitweiser, Robert Gomez, Shelia Cummings Smith

Patent number: 12363225Abstract: A method provides identification of relevant caller dialog with an intelligent voice interface configured to lead callers through pathways of an algorithmic dialog including available voice prompts. The method may include, during a voice communication with a caller, receiving from the caller device caller input data indicative of a voice input of the caller, and determining, by processing the caller input data, that a first portion of the voice input is intended to convey caller information to the intelligent voice interface, and that a second portion of the voice input is not intended to convey caller information. The method may also include identifying relevant caller information by analyzing the first portion of the voice input without the second portion of the voice input, and storing the relevant caller information in a database and/or selecting a pathway through the algorithmic dialog based upon the relevant caller information.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2022Date of Patent: July 15, 2025Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Duane Lee Marzinzik, Eric R. Moore, Gregory D. Carter, Harsh Lalwani, Matthew Mifflin, Padmaja Uppaluri, Ryan Jewell, Richard J. Lovings

Patent number: 12346976Abstract: A shared ledger operated by a group of network participants according to a set of consensus rules manages and resolves subrogation claims between a clamant and a defendant with arbitration. Evidence regarding the value of the subrogation claim is sent to the shared ledger by the parties to the subrogation claim such as sending data to a smart contract deployed on the shared ledger. The parties to the subrogation claim or entities that are not parties to the subrogation claim may broadcast data relating to fault to the blockchain. The data relating to fault may be evaluated by the parties or entities acting on the parties' behalf to determine fault. A fault determination may be broadcast to the blockchain based upon the analysis of the data relating to fault. Once the claim is resolved, arbitrator may release funds on the chain to the prevailing party or may accept confirmation that any payments have been made between the parties off-chain.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2023Date of Patent: July 1, 2025Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Shawn M. Call, Jaime Skaggs, Eric Bellas, Douglas A. Graff, William J. Leise, Vicki King, Jacob J. Alt, Eric R. Moore, Stacie A. Mccullough

Publication number: 20250088590Abstract: In a method for handling out-of-sequence caller dialog, an intelligent voice interface is configured to lead callers through pathways of an algorithmic dialog that includes available voice prompts for requesting different types of caller information. The method may include, during a voice communication with a caller via a caller device, receiving from the caller device caller input data indicative of a voice input of the caller, without having first provided to the caller device any voice prompt that requests a first type of caller information, and determining, by processing the caller input data, that the voice input includes caller information of the first type. The method also includes after determining that the voice input includes the caller information of the first type, bypassing one or more voice prompts, of the available voice prompts, that request the first type of caller information.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Inventors: Duane Lee Marzinzik, Eric R.

Publication number: 20250054066Abstract: A shared ledger operated by a group of network participants according to a set of consensus rules manages and resolves subrogation claims between a clamant and a defendant. Evidence regarding the value of the subrogation claim is sent to the shared ledger by entities involved in the claim such as sending to a smart contract deployed on the shared ledger. The parties to the subrogation claim may supplement evidence and settlement proposals on the blockchain by broadcasting a transaction or sending data to the smart contract. Once the claim is resolved, the parties may settle the subrogation payment off-chain or may transact a token having value on the chain. A subrogation smart contract may be programmed to release funds under certain conditions including holding a bond by a claimant and/or upon final resolution of the subrogation claim.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2021Publication date: February 13, 2025Inventors: Jaime Skaggs, Shawn M.

Patent number: 12088692Abstract: The present embodiments relate to systems and methods for using a blockchain to record information related to the lifecycle of a vehicle associated with a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), or other vehicle identifier. For example, the VIN lifecycle process may be used to ensure the transferability of title, including when information relevant to transferability is not easily determinable, such as after a collision occurs. The systems and methods may include the reception of a mileage report corresponding to a vehicle and updating a blockchain to associate the vehicle with mileage information. The systems and methods described herein may allow for using a blockchain which gives the option for private information, and permissioned participants in the blockchain. In particular, the systems and methods allow for a distributed consensus amongst businesses, consumers, and authorities, as to the validity of information and transactions stored on the blockchain.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2022Date of Patent: September 10, 2024Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: William J.
