  • Patent number: 10678842
    Abstract: A method in a geostory system is disclosed for retrieving one or more geostory elements from one or more corresponding geostory databases, the one or more geostory elements defining, at least in part, a geostory program, each of the one or more geostory elements having an associated description. The method further includes a geosystem organization system assembling, with an organization, the retrieved one or more geostory elements into a geostory organizational schema, the geostory organizational schema defining a sequence and order of distinct types of potentially overlapping geostory elements and the sequence defining an order in which the one or more geostory elements are executed when playing the geostory. While assembling the retrieved one or more geostory elements into the geostory organizational schema, the assembled one or more geostory elements are automatically translated and the translated one or more geostory elements are added to a geostory description language to generate the geostory program.

  • Patent number: 8150722
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that provide for processing claims. The system and method include receiving a claim from a customer and determining if a customer average value associated with the customer is greater than or equal to a threshold value. The system and method also include processing the claim when the customer average value is less than the threshold value and determining if the claim meets one or more predetermined parameters when the customer average value is greater than or equal to the threshold value. In addition, the system and method include processing the claim when the claim meets the one or more predetermined parameters and forwarding the claim for further investigation when the claim fails to meet the one or more predetermined parameters and the customer average value is greater than or equal to the threshold value.
