  • Homeowners insurance application process using geotagged photos
    Patent number: 10692151
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media are disclosed for determining a homeowners insurance quote from a captured image of a dwelling. The captured image includes geotagged information, and the address of the dwelling is determined by reverse geocoding this information. An insurance premium quote may then be generated based on the reverse geocoded address and any additional risk assessment factors, such as the building characteristics. Verification of the address may also be performed by accessing one or more databases, which may store information including addresses, coordinates, and images associated with the address. The building characteristics may be retrieved from one or more of the databases to allow for quote generation with minimal user intervention. Matching properties having comparative quotes near the dwelling address may also be generated.
