  • Publication number: 20240127360
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to manipulating and visualizing database objects that represent layers and parts of layers in insurance or other risk transfer programs. Disclosed is graphically creating placement objects, maintaining a database of objects that can be linked in trees, with policy objects linked to respective proposal objects, and coverage objects linked to the proposal objects and the policy objects. A GUI represents a placement using objects, with metadata that describes objects' statuses, with groups of objects properly nested and linked in the database of objects. User selection of a displayed first object and mode control initiates creation of second objects linked to the first object and, opening of a panel that scales the selected first object to fit the panel and allows the user to add nested second objects, by drawing an added object or entering metadata for the added object, with consistent metadata constrained with the nesting.

  • Publication number: 20240127349
    Abstract: The technology disclosed provides systems and methods that display database objects representing entities, placement channels and workflow status in an insurance or other risk transfer program. Specially coded distribution trees and graphs of nodes represent the overall flow and, optionally, status of placement workflows. Node and edge data generated for display depicts multiple risk placements on behalf of at least one requesting party through intermediaries to responding parties. Line width of edges represents calculated relative size of placements, and pattern, style, and color of edges can depict statuses of the risk placements. Another geo-coded map display also depicts as nodes a requesting party, intermediaries and responding parties, connected by edges that represent communication channels.

  • Patent number: 10002392
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to manipulating and visualizing database objects that represent layers and parts of layers in an insurance or other risk transfer program. In particular, a special purpose database system replaces manual use of spreadsheets and supports data visualization. The technology disclosed provides systems and methods for processing and displaying database objects that build a composite coverage structure capable of representing a complex program of multiple insurance policies or other risk transfer instruments during planning and placement. Reporting from the database of progress against the composite coverage structure and updating objects using a visual interface are described.

  • Patent number: 8326730
    Abstract: A system for automated clearing and settlement of risk management transactions on an automated system used by a plurality of users provides electronic interaction between buyers and sellers and enables parties to make decisions concerning reinsurance products. The clearing system enables the transfer of premium and loss payments directly between risk-bearers or via brokers representing these risk-bearers.
