  • Patent number: 10565658
    Abstract: A method and system may determine the condition of insured properties in a neighborhood using aerial images captured from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or from a satellite device. The neighborhood may be selected by identifying a neighborhood that includes properties which are insured by a particular insurance provider. Aerial images of the entire neighborhood may then be captured and received from the UAV or the satellite device. For each insured property in the neighborhood, a condition and level of risk may be automatically determined based on the received aerial images. Then a level of risk indicator may be assigned to the insured property based on the determined level of risk. The aerial images of the insured property may be displayed on a user interface with indications of the level of risk overlaying the aerial images.

  • Patent number: 10565659
    Abstract: A method and system may display real-time aerial images of insured properties in a neighborhood captured from an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a manned aerial vehicle (MAV), or from a satellite device. For example, aerial images of a neighborhood having insured properties, that have been affected by a catastrophe, may be received from the UAV, MAV, or the satellite device. Aerial images of each insured property may be analyzed to determine a damage severity level and assign a damage severity level indicator to the damage severity level. As a result, the property owner may receive a notification that a catastrophe has impacted her neighborhood. Moreover, the real-time images, with damage severity level indicators overlaying the property, may be transmitted via a web page to the property owner's web-enabled device after the property owner logs in to a customer account.

  • Publication number: 20200050633
    Abstract: A graph data structure for a packet processing system is generated. The structure comprises graph data objects representing classifier nodes of a packet processing graph. The classifier nodes include a root node and leaf nodes. The root node is connected to each of the leaf nodes through respective corresponding packet processing paths through the graph. Each graph data object includes node match data indicative of at least one match to be applied by the respective classifier node. One or more n-type match graph data objects are identified, which include node match data indicative of an n-type match corresponding to content from n header field types. One or more (n+m)-type match graph data objects are identified, which include node match data indicative of an (n+m)-type match corresponding to a combination of content from a (n+m) different header field types. n and m are integer values of 1 or more.

  • Publication number: 20200042504
    Abstract: A method for saving a file stored on a third-party system to a cloud storage system includes receiving, at a cloud storage server of the cloud storage system, a save request from the third party system. The save request is generated in response to a user selecting, via a user interface presented on a client computer, the file from a plurality of files stored on the third-party system, the file to be saved to the cloud storage server. The save request comprises a file identifier of the file and information identifying the user. The information identifying the user allows access to a user account of the user on the cloud storage system without use of the client computer as intermediary service, and the third-party system stores the file associated with the file identifier. The method further includes authenticating the save request, based at least in part on the information identifying the user, creating a copy of the file at the cloud storage server, and associating the copy of the file with the user.
