Publication number: 20230196473Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses and computer-readable media for receiving data from one or more sensors associated with one or more home devices, such as appliances, home systems, etc. are presented. In some examples, the data may be used to determine whether the home device is operating within an expected range. The data may be used to identify abnormal operating conditions in a first home. Based on the identified abnormal operating conditions a root cause of the abnormal operating conditions may be determined. A message may be transmitted to at least one additional home. The message may include the root cause of the abnormal operating conditions occurring in the first home. The message may be used to alert other homes to current conditions so that they can take preventive action. The data may also be used to determine an insurance rate or premium for participating homes.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2022Publication date: June 22, 2023Applicant: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Bryan Keith Corder, Robert H. Johnson, Regina Madigan, Carolyn Parker, Rothana Srey, Nicholas A. Suizzo, Sean P. Willett, Nan Zhang

Publication number: 20230186399Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses and computer-readable media for receiving data from one or more sensors associated with one or more home devices, such as appliances, home systems, etc. are provided. The data may be used to determine whether the home device is operating within an expected range or, if it is outside of an expected range or threshold, whether a home event has occurred. Upon occurrence of the home event, an insurance claim to cover any damage caused by the home event may be initiated and/or processed. In some examples, repair of any damage may also be coordinated by the system. In some arrangements, the initiation and/or processing of the claim, and/or coordination of the repair may be performed without any additional input from the user associated with the policy, home device, etc. or with limited additional input from the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Bryan Keith Corder, Rothana Srey, Nicholas A.

Patent number: 11042945Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses and computer-readable media for receiving data from one or more sensors associated with one or more home devices of a user, such as appliances, home systems, etc. and/or one or more sensors associated with a vehicle of the user, and/or receiving data associated with a lifestyle of the user are presented. In some examples, the data may aggregated and analyzed to assess risk associated with the user in order to determine or adjust an insurance rate or premium.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2019Date of Patent: June 22, 2021Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Carolyn Parker, Robert H.

In some examples, the data may be used to determine whether the home device is operating within an expected range. The data may also be used to determine an insurance rate or premium for a user associated with the home device(s). In some arrangements, the data may be used to determine an age of a home device, as well as a likelihood of failure of that device. This information may be used to determine or adjust insurance premiums or rates and/or provide incentives to users to repair or replace the home device(s).Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2019Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Carolyn Parker, Robert H.

Patent number: 10699346Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses and computer-readable media for receiving data from one or more sensors associated with one or more home devices, such as appliances, home systems, etc. are presented. In some examples, the data may be used to determine whether the home device is operating within an expected range. The system may determine a home profile and/or neighborhood rating factor which may be used to adjust insurance premiums. The home profile may be generated based on the normal operating conditions of the home based on the analysis of the sensor data. An insurance premium rate may be determined based on the generated home profile and neighborhood rating factor.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2015Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Bryan Keith Corder, Robert H.

Patent number: 10664922Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses and computer-readable media for receiving data from one or more sensors or devices associated with one or more users are presented. In some examples, data may be filtered and analyzed to determine a risk profile for a user. In addition, the system may also determine a neighborhood risk profile for a number of users located in the same geographical location. The risk profile and the neighborhood profile may be used to determine or adjust a user's insurance premiums.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2018Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Allstate Insurance CompanyInventors: Regina Madigan, Robert H.
