  • Publication number: 20240391433
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for estimating slipperiness of a road surface. This estimate may be obtained using an image sensor mounted on a vehicle. The estimated road slipperiness may be utilized when calculating a risk index for the road, or for an area including the road. If a predetermined threshold for slipperiness is exceeded, corrective actions may be taken. For instance, warnings may be generated to human drivers that are in control of driving vehicle, and autonomous vehicles may automatically adjust vehicle speed based upon road slipperiness detected.

  • Publication number: 20240169601
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing augmented reality overlay displays related to repairs may include obtaining sensor data associated with a home or vehicle and analyzing the sensor data associated to identify a vehicle component and/or home appliance that is not functioning properly. Repairs for the vehicle component and/or home appliance that is not functioning properly may be identified, and a determination may be made as to whether it is safe for a vehicle operator and/or home resident to perform the repair. If so, an augmented reality overlay display may be presented upon images/video of the vehicle/home captured in real time, identifying vehicle/home components that must be manipulated in order to perform the repair. If not, the augmented reality display may identify portions of the vehicle or home of which the vehicle operator must capture images in order to request a professional repair or submit an insurance claim.

  • Publication number: 20230325936
    Abstract: Systems and methods relate to, inter alia, calculating a collision risk index for an area based upon historical traffic data. The systems and methods may further generate a notification to automatically engage or disengage an autonomous, or semi-autonomous, vehicle control feature in a vehicle based upon the collision risk index for the area. The systems and methods may further transmit the notification to a device of the vehicle to facilitate automatically engaging or disengaging an autonomous, or semi-autonomous, vehicle control feature in the vehicle as the vehicle approaches the area. As a result, vehicle collisions may be reduced, and vehicle safety enhanced.

  • Patent number: 11656094
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for educating vehicle drivers. Auto insurance claim data may be analyzed to identify hazardous areas associated with an abnormally high amount or severity of vehicle collisions. A virtual navigation map of roads within the hazardous areas may be built or generated. A common cause of several vehicle collisions at a hazardous area may be identified, and a virtual reconstruction of a scenario involving the common cause and/or a road map of collisions locations of may be created. The virtual reconstruction of the scenario may be displayed on a driver education virtual simulator to enhance driver education and reduce the likelihood of vehicle collisions.

  • Publication number: 20220188938
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed relating to provisioning of a service to a secondary user of an application (app). Such systems and methods include establishing a primary user profile for a primary user of a well-being app, and identifying a secondary user. The primary user may be, for example, the owner of a life insurance policy, while the secondary user may be, for example, a beneficiary of the life insurance policy. The app may receive documents from both the primary user and the secondary user. In this regard, the app may facilitate convenient storage of documents related to the life insurance policy, and facilitate the transition of property from the primary user to the secondary user.

  • Publication number: 20220188934
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating user-specific well-being recommendations relating to user interaction with a well-being application are disclosed. User data is obtained via the well-being application and from additional data sources, and such user data is processed to determine user conditions that may serve as triggering events (e.g., major life events or changes in user well-being). When a triggering event occurs, well-being tasks are determined and personalized into a user-specific well-being recommendation to the user of the well-being application. In some embodiments, additional prompts may be used to obtain additional user data to further personalize the user-specific well-being recommendation, which may include monitors user responses to offers for additional information in the well-being application. User personalization may include determining a best time or manner of presenting the recommendation to the user to increase the likelihood of user performance of the recommended well-being tasks.

  • Publication number: 20220189607
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for recommending tailored wellness activities based upon non-wellness-related data are disclosed. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for recommending wellness activities based upon non-wellness-related data includes accessing non-wellness-related data for a person from a datastore. The data is processed to determine a propensity score, the propensity score representing a likelihood that the person would perform a wellness activity. When the propensity score satisfies a condition, a wellness activity related to an aspect of the data is identified, and information regarding the wellness activity to the person is communicated via a network interface.

  • Publication number: 20220189623
    Abstract: Systems and methods relating to collecting guided user data generating recommendations are disclosed, with particular reference to collecting user data related to the well-being of a user. Such systems and methods include obtaining well-being data associated with a user and determining that a triggering event has occurred based at least upon the well-being data collected. A user log may be generated by iteratively presenting a plurality of information prompts to the user. In generating the user log, the systems and methods may apply a conversational artificial intelligence model, receive user responses to prompts, and add data entries to the user log. A user action recommendation based upon the data entries may be generated and presented to the user.
