Publication number: 20220188738Abstract: Embodiments may be associated with a network status insight system implemented via a back-end application computer server. A network provider data store may contain electronic records, each electronic record representing a network provider of an enterprise. An enterprise data store may contain electronic records, each electronic record representing a remote analysis entity of the enterprise (e.g., a remote employee or worker). The computer server may receive, from the enterprise data store, information about analysis entities of the enterprise and, from the network provider data store, information about networks used by the enterprise. The computer may also receive, from a third-party outage detector platform information about outages associated with the enterprise (e.g., network outages and/or power outages). A network status algorithm may then be applied to correlate the received information to generate enterprise network status results (e.g.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2020Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Patrick D.

Patent number: 10592991Abstract: Methods for assessing a condition of property for insurance purposes include determining a concentration of a molecular constituent at the insured property. The molecular constituent may be a byproduct or residual product of anthropogenic fire accelerants or anthropogenic sources of ignition or explosion. In some embodiments, the concentration of the molecular constituent at the insured property is determined using spectral imaging technology. Radiative transfer computer models may be used to determine the concentration of the molecular constituent based on spectral images.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Hartford Fire Insurance CompanyInventor: Patrick D.

Patent number: 10574539Abstract: A data store may contain data describing systems associated with an enterprise. The data store may contain electronic records, each containing a record identifier and a set of record characteristic values, including a service tier goal. A compliance score may be automatically calculated based on an assessment of record characteristic values, the service tier goal, and at least a system availability value, an incident response time value, and an incident restoration time value. A remediation recommendation may be generated, including steps that, when performed, will result in the selected system meeting the service tier goal. An indication representing the remediation recommendation may then be transmitted in connection with an interactive user interface display.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2016Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Hartford Fire Insurance CompanyInventors: Patrick D. Brown, John G. Buccetti, Daniel R. Console, Lisa J. Kissane, Robert M. Nichols, Hugh J. Quinn, Irma Rivera, Kenneth A. Saucier, Angela L Secondino, Susan R. Vecchio, Donna M. Warnock

Patent number: 9940677Abstract: A system and method for assessing a condition of property for insurance purposes includes a sensor for acquiring a spectral image. In a preferred embodiment, the spectral image is post-processed to generate at least one spectral radiance plot, the plot used as input to a radiative transfer computer model. The output of the model establishes a spectral signature for the property. Over a period of time, spectral signatures can be compared to generate a spectral difference, the spectral difference can be used to determine whether a change in the condition of the property was potentially fraudulently caused.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2015Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Hartford Fire Insurance CompanyInventor: Patrick D.
