  • Patent number: 11625791
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for an automated system for analyzing damage to process claims associated with an insured item, such as a vehicle. An enhanced claims processing server may analyze damage associated with the insured item using photos/video transmitted to the server from a user device (e.g., a mobile device). The enhanced claims processing server may submit a signal that locks one or more portions of an application on the mobile device used to submit the photos/videos. The mobile device may receive feedback from the server regarding the acceptability of submitted photos/video. The photos may further be annotated using, for example, a touch screen display. An estimate, such as a cost estimate, may be determined for the damage associated with the insured item based on the photos and/or annotations.

  • Publication number: 20150198938
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for configuring an automation system. A parameter for a building in which an automation system is to be installed is obtained. Configuration information is obtained for properly configuring components of the automation system in accordance with a parameter for the building. It is determined whether or not each of the components of the automation system being installed within the building is properly configured based on the obtained configuration information and input received from a user indicating the locations of the respective components within the building. A notification is provided to the user, which indicates the results of the determination for one or more of the components, and the user is presented with options for modifying configuration settings for one or more of the components.

  • Publication number: 20110059774
    Abstract: There is disclosed a wireless communication device comprising a display providing a visual representation of a widget. For one embodiment, a wireless transceiver receives a textual content and a tag, a processor determines whether the wireless transceiver has received a graphical content associated with the textual content and the tag. The display provides the textual content in a first window and the graphical content adjacent to the first window in response to determining that the graphical content has been received. The display provides the textual content in a larger, second window in response to determining that the graphical content has not been received. For another embodiment, the wireless transceiver receives a textual content, a graphical content, and a content identifier corresponding to a content header.

  • Publication number: 20110061019
    Abstract: There is disclosed a portable electronic device comprising a display providing a visual representation of a widget. For one embodiment, the visual representation comprises a first window including a textual content and a second window including a graphical content. The first and second windows are situated within a periphery of the visual representation such that the first window overlaps part of the second window and a portion of the graphical content of the second window is obscured by the first window. For other embodiments, the visual representation comprises first window including a peripheral boundary surrounding a textual content and a second window including a textual heading or graphical content, and a graphical icon overlaying a part of the graphical content. A portion of the peripheral border of the first window includes an outwardly protruding section directed towards the graphical icon of the second window.
