  • Publication number: 20250050837
    Abstract: In system and methods for loss mitigation, accident data associated with a vehicle accident involving a driver may be collected. The accident data may be analyzed, and a likely severity of the vehicle accident may be determined based upon the analysis of the accident data. A communication related to emergency assistance or an emergency assistance recommendation may be generated based upon the determined likely severity of the vehicle accident, and transmitted, via wireless communication, from one or more remote servers to a mobile device associated with the driver A wireless communication from the driver indicating approval or modification of the emergency assistance or emergency assistance recommendation may be received. A third party may be notified, via a communication sent from the remote server(s), of requested emergency assistance as approved or modified by the driver. An estimated insurance claim may also be generated based upon vehicle accident likely severity.

  • Patent number: 11734764
    Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for interfacing between a user and a computing device. The computing device may receive data describing a projected periodic savings amount and first expense data describing a first expense of the user. The first expense data may indicate an amount of the first expense and a first expense time when the first expense will be incurred. The computing device may display a graphical user interface at a display. The graphical user interface may comprise a savings shape having a size based at least in part on the projected periodic savings amount and a first expense shape having a size based at least in part on the first amount. The computing device may receive an instruction to place the first expense shape in the savings shape and may determine that the projected periodic savings amount is sufficient to fund the first expense at the first time.

  • Publication number: 20120136845
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for safeguarding digital objects consisting of digital assets. The system includes a unique identifier and an impairer in each digital asset, the impairer distinct from the unique identifier. A database is provided with a record of each unique identifier. A client is in communication with the database. The client is adapted to receive a subset of the digital assets and analyze each digital asset to determine the unique identifier embedded therein. The client is further adapted to query the database with the determined unique identifier to validate each received digital asset. In response to proper validation, the impairer is removed from the received digital asset. An associated method is also provided.
