Patent number: 9495700Abstract: The present invention employs branded virtual characters to engage and educate users regarding an array of health-related insurance, financial, and other benefits, enabling informed decision-making during this complex process. Information is collected gradually on an “as-needed” basis to avoid overwhelming users with lengthy and redundant requests for information, while still providing a safe environment for users to freely discuss personal, health, financial and related sensitive issues. Throughout the process, the system employs a portfolio-driven approach to identify inter-dependencies among different benefit products and plans, and prioritize and recommend “portfolio-level” benefit solutions. Back-end components enable users to complete transactions (e.g.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2014Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: NAVERA, INC.Inventors: Michael Hoch, Colin Campbell, Sandy Yu, David Wallace

Publication number: 20140310127Abstract: The present invention employs branded virtual characters across multiple network platforms throughout various stages of complex transactions (eg, selling insurance). These characters initially engage prospective customers on a network platform, such as a social network, and persist over time across other network platforms (eg, university and company websites) to educate consumers until they are ready to purchase—e.g., from their “trusted advisor”—particular products and services offered by various providers. An extensible configuration tool (“Config Tool”) is provided to simplify the continued development of such a system, as well as customization of individual Product Modules (e.g., a Life Insurance Module) by product and service providers (e.g., insurance companies and employers) and other third-party developers (before and during runtime).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2014Publication date: October 16, 2014Applicant: Navera, Inc.Inventors: MICHAEL HOCH, PETER W.

Publication number: 20070279389Abstract: A dynamic, flexible and intuitive task-oriented graphical user interface (GUI) is implemented on network accessible hand-held mobile devices. A mobile hand-held device is characterized by limited screen size and fewer input keys compared to a keyboard. In a home network environment, such mobile hand-held devices act as remote control devices for home devices. Typical examples of such remote control device are universal remote control and cell phone. In one implementation the GUI provides techniques for displaying large amounts of data using a small screen. The GUI also presents a technique for making the user aware of current abstract available options and smoothly guiding his current intention into a task selection that the remote control can understand and execute on.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2006Publication date: December 6, 2007Applicant: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Michael Hoch, Alan Messer, Yu Song, Mithun Sheshagiri, Anugeetha Kunjithapatham, Praveen Kumar
