Patent number: 11745684Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to aggregation of data associated with events related to automotive vehicles. Automotive vehicles may include a variety of sensing devices used in local sensing operations. However, these sensing devices may not be leveraged beyond the local sensing operations. When automotive vehicles are operated, sometimes events occur. As discussed herein, an event-based data aggregation service may aggregate sensing data from one or more sensing devices, such as sensing devices of the automotive vehicles, in response to receiving an event notification associated with one or more of the events and may use the sensing data when responding to the event notification.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: United Services Automobile AssociationInventors: Yevgeniy Viatcheslavovich Khmelev, Oscar Guerra, Jeffrey Neal Pollack, Janelle Denice Dziuk, Ashley Raine Philbrick, Ryan Thomas Russell, David Patrick Dixon

Patent number: 11741479Abstract: A method for tracking insured assets is provided. Asset identifiers corresponding to assets to be monitored are received from a user. Each of the one or more assets is attached to a tracking device. Monitored assets are covered by one or more insurance policies. One or more geofence regions are defined associated with the one or more monitored assets. A location of each of the monitored assets is estimated, at least periodically. In response to determining that the estimated location of at least one of the monitored assets is outside of the corresponding one or more geofence regions, an insurance policy associated with this at least one asset is determined. A policyholder associated with the insurance policy is notified by sending a notification to policyholder's-preferred device. The notification inquires instructions for remedial actions from the policyholder. One or more remedial actions are initiated based on received policyholder's instructions.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: United Services Automobile AssociationInventors: David Patrick Dixon, Wayne Maurice Hartman, Gary Scott Harris

Patent number: 11741478Abstract: Technology for determining an insurance fraud risk associated with a user comprises receiving, at an enterprise, a call or a chat from a user device associated with the user. Data associated with the call or the chat is analyzed to determine if at least one factor indicating fraud is present. A weighted level of possible fraud associated with the at least one factor is determined. The weighted level of possible fraud is compared to at least one weight threshold. The user is identified as an increased fraud risk based on the weighted level of possible fraud meeting or exceeding the at least one weight threshold.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventor: David Patrick Dixon
