  • Patent number: 12282963
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein are directed to automatedly generating and issuing accident data gathering recommendations for a vehicle accident occurrence. In response to a recommendation system detecting an occurrence of a vehicle accident, the system can retrieve initial accident data for the occurrence. Using the initial accident data, the system can generate accident data gathering recommendations to obtain additional accident data via mapping to one or more characteristics for the vehicle accident occurrence. The recommendations, when executed, can yield additional accident data that can be compiled with the initial accident data into a vehicle accident evidence package.

  • Patent number: 12246206
    Abstract: A fitness device tor exercising by creating opposing muscle resistance instead of employing weights, gravity, or elastic bands, contains a flexible, substantially inelastic strap and a plurality of handles positioned on the substantially inelastic strap. Each handle contains a first grip portion, a second grip portion, and an internal rail. Each handle has a non-movable configuration in which the first and second grip portion are engaged with each other to prevent sliding movement of the handle along the length of the substantially inelastic strap. Each handle has a movable configuration in which the first and second grip portion are disengaged to allow sliding movement of the handle along the length of the substantially inelastic strap. In the non-movable configuration, the handle envelops the substantially inelastic strap and the internal rail to frictionally engage the substantially inelastic strap against the internal rail to hold the handle in the non-movable position.

  • Patent number: 12242545
    Abstract: A document management system can include an artificial intelligence-based document manager that can perform one or more predictive operations based on characteristics of a user, a document, a user account, or historical document activity. For instance, the document management system can apply a machine-learning model to determine how long an expiring agreement document is likely to take to renegotiate and can prompt a user to begin the renegotiation process in advance. The document management system can detect a change to language in a particular clause type and can prompt a user to update other documents that include the clause type to include the change. The document management system can determine a type of a document being worked on and can identify one or more actions that a corresponding user may want to take using a machine-learning model trained on similar documents and similar users.

  • Patent number: 12229316
    Abstract: Some implementations of the technology relate to anonymizing personally identifiable information (PII) by creating a quick response (QR) code linked to a website that can verify that driver's license information and insurance information of a driver is available and valid, without showing the PII itself. Some implementations can allow another driver in an automobile accident to scan the QR code, enter her own insurance information, and can push the driver's PII to her insurance company. Some implementations can allow the other driver to download an encrypted file with the PII that can be shared with his insurance company. The QR code can be used in other contexts outside of automobile accidents as well, such as when a driver wishes to test drive a car, rent a car, buy a new car, etc., and needs to provide proof of a valid driver's license and insurance coverage.

  • Patent number: 12205456
    Abstract: Methods and systems described herein are directed to automatedly generating entity-specific notifications of a vehicle accident occurrence for entities. In response to a notification system receiving accident data, the system can determine characteristics for the accident occurrence. Using these characteristics, the system can then determine parameters for the notifications defining types of entities which ought to be recipients in accordance with the characteristics. The system can use these parameters to locate specific entities that match the parameters. Having determined the entities, the system can issue notifications to the entities, using templates specific to the entities and with accident characteristics added.
