    Abstract: A client terminal displays a trading screen interface and an annotation interface in relation to the trading screen interface. The annotation interface allows a trader to enter trade-related annotations in a quick and efficient manner or flag a predetermined time and input annotations to be associated with the flagged time a later time, while the trading screen interface allows the trader to make trades at the most favorable prices and in a speedy manner. The annotation interface may alternatively not be displayed and allow for audio input.

  • Publication number: 20200402174
    Abstract: Real time or near real time assessment of the quality of securities transactions is accomplished by intercepting order and execution communications between trader and broker, comparing the execution data with contemporaneous market data relative to the transaction or transactions involved, and informing the trader of that comparison. This is accomplished without interrupting or impeding the trader-broker communications, except that a broker-trader communication may, if desired, be interrupted and relevant data aggregated until the aggregate reaches a desired value. It is preferred that the comparison be between the volume-weighted average price of the securities transaction and the volume-weighted average price of the market data for that security, over the life of the order. A particular effective way to communicate the quality evaluation to the trader is disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20200402176
    Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to utilizing an objective impairment injury score risk model. A computing device may receive injury data from a user. The computing device may then perform a security action that protects against unauthorized sharing of the injury data by storing the injury data as a group of linked blocks in a distributed computing system. The computing device may then utilize a machine-learning model to generate a set of questions for the user. The questions may be utilized to determine weighting factors associated with the injury data. The computing device may then utilize the machine-learning model to determine an impairment injury score based on the weighting factors. The may include an objectively determined value associated with a degree of impairment resulting from an injury described in the injury data. Finally, the computing device may display an injury risk management report, based on the score, to the user.

  • Publication number: 20200402177
    Abstract: A policy issuance architecture processes cancellation requests for cancelling insurance policies maintained by the policy issuance architecture. The policy issuance architecture includes several multi-tiered data structures, wherein each multi-tiered data structure corresponds to a particular geographic region. The policy issuance architecture references a particular multi-tiered data structure based on the geographic region associated with an identified insurance policy. The policy issuance architecture uses the particular multi-tiered data structure to populate various selectable fields used to create a cancellation request for the identified insurance policy. After the values of the selectable fields have been selected and/or entered, the policy issuance architecture verifies the values to ensure that the cancellation request has been properly configured. Upon submission of the cancellation request, the policy issuance architecture associates the cancellation request with the identified insurance policy.

  • Publication number: 20200402178
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for an automated system for analyzing damage to process claims and pre-claim consultations associated with an insured item, such as a vehicle. An enhanced claims processing server may analyze damage associated with the insured item using photos/video transmitted to the server from a user device (e.g., a mobile device). The mobile device may receive feedback from the server regarding the acceptability of submitted photos/video, and if the server determines that any of the submitted photos/video is unacceptable, the mobile device may capture additional photos/video until all of the data are deemed acceptable. In addition, the server may interface with third party entities such as repair shops and may generate a payment for compensating a claimant for repair of the insured item.

    Abstract: It is desirable to provide a technology for enabling to make a reply to a received message by simple operation. There is provided an information processing device including an output control unit that, in a case where a received message has been obtained through a communication unit, controls display of first and second candidates of a transmission message, and sets the first candidate as a candidate in a selected state, in which: in a case where first pressing force has been detected by a first pressure sensor, the output control unit switches the candidate in the selected state from the first candidate to the second candidate; and in a case where second pressing force has been detected by a second pressure sensor, the output control unit controls the communication unit in such a manner that the candidate in the selected state is transmitted as the transmission message.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to multicomputer processing of vehicle operational data from telematics devices and other sources with centralized event control. An event control computing platform may receive vehicle operational data from a telematics device associated with a user. Subsequently, the event control computing platform may identify, based on the received data, whether at least one criterion associated with the user has been satisfied. If the received data indicates that the at least one criterion associated with the user has been satisfied, then the event control computing platform may generate a command configured to cause a change to a subunit of user data and then may transmit the generated command to a subunit provisioning server.

    Abstract: A real estate services communication system and method for improving the efficiency of real estate home showings. The real estate communication system is typically comprised of at least one seller agent device, at least one showing agent(s) devices, and application software. When a selling agent receives a buyer request to be shown a property, the selling agent can send out the request to show the property to a selected showing agent in the selling agent's network, who can then show the buyer the property. This system provides the selling agent a more efficient way to show properties, the buyers more conveniently arranged showings, and the showing agent a convenient source of extra income.
