  • Publication number: 20240388879
    Abstract: A system for providing dynamic roadside assistance coordination may include a customer mobile device or vehicle in direct, or indirect, wireless communication with an insurance provider and/or service provider remote server. The customer's device may transmit a request for roadside assistance (e.g., towing services), and a current GPS location. In response, a closest, trusted service provider vehicle may be determined, and then directed to the customer's location. For instance, a software application may receive the customer location and compare it with availability information to match the customer with a close and trusted service provider. The customer's device may receive an acknowledgement that help is on the way, and be able to track the current location of the service provider vehicle while en route. Payment for the roadside assistance may be automatically and electronically paid by the insurance provider. As a result, prompt and safe roadside assistance may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20240370936
    Abstract: A structural analysis computing device may generate a proposed insurance claim and/or generate a proposed insurance quote for an object pictured in a three-dimensional (3D) image. The structural analysis computing device may be coupled to a drone configured to capture exterior images of the object. The structural analysis computing device may include a memory, a user interface, an object sensor configured to capture the 3D image, and a processor in communication with the memory and the object sensor. The processor may access the 3D image including the object, and analyze the 3D images to identify features of the object-such as by inputting the 3D image into a trained machine learning or pattern recognition program. The processor may generate a proposed claim form for a damaged object and/or a proposed quote for an uninsured object, and display the form to a user for their review and/or approval.

  • Publication number: 20230177616
    Abstract: A system and method for processing an insurance claim for damage to a vehicle, home, or other property. Image data of the damaged property may be examined, with an insured's permission or affirmative consent, by a processor using a machine learning technology to determine the amount of damage; determine a repair or replacement cost; generate a proposed insurance claim and initiate processing the insurance claim; and perform additional actions relevant to handling the insurance claim or assisting the claimant. The additional actions may include estimating a repair or replacement cost and time; identifying a repair service; determining an availability of repair parts and appointments; identifying one or more salvage services; identifying settlement options; and identifying temporary replacement property (e.g., rental vehicles or hotel rooms). The processor may receive and account for GPS location of the damaged property or the insured's mobile device, and/or the forecasted weather for that location.

  • Publication number: 20230110262
    Abstract: A structural analysis computing device for determining structural characteristics of an object pictured in a three-dimensional (3D) image may be provided. The structural analysis computing device may include a memory, a user interface, an object sensor configured to capture the 3D image of the object, and at least one processor in communication with the memory and the object sensor. The processor may be configured to access the 3D image including the object, automatically determine a first plurality of measurements of the object from the 3D image, and display the 3D image on the user interface. The processor may be further configured to generate a data file including the 3D image and the first plurality of measurements, and store the data file within the memory. The processor may also be configured to transmit the data file to an insurance server computing device for generation of an associated insurance claim form.
