Patent number: 11720968Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring use, determining risk, and pricing insurance policies for a vehicle having autonomous or semi-autonomous operation features are provided. According to certain aspects, a computer-implemented method for generating or updating usage-based insurance policies for autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles may be provided. A request to generate an insurance quote may be received via wireless communication, and with the customer's permission, risk levels associated with intended usage by the customer of an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle may be determined. An insurance policy may be adjusted based upon the risk levels and the intended vehicle usage. The insurance policy may then be presented on the customer's mobile device for review and approval. In some aspects, the vehicle may be rented, and the intended vehicle usage is measured in distance or duration of vehicle operation. Insurance discounts may be provided to risk averse vehicle owners based upon low risk levels.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2019Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance CompanyInventors: Brian Mark Fields, Chien Che Huang, Mohamed A.

Patent number: 11720962Abstract: Systems and methods for generating tree-based models with improved fairness are disclosed. The disclosed process generates a first tree-based machine learning model, which is preferably trained to predict if a financial loan will be repaid. The process also determines an accuracy of the first tree-based machine learning mode. In addition, the process determines a fairness of the first tree-based machine learning model. The fairness is preferably associated with at least one of gender, race, ethnicity, age, marital status, military status, sexual orientation, and disability status. The process then generates a second different tree-based machine learning model, which is preferably trained based on the accuracy of the first tree-based machine learning model and the fairness of the first tree-based machine learning model. The process then combines the first tree-based machine learning model and the second tree-based machine learning model to produce a gradient-boosted machine learning model.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: ZESTFINANCE, INC.Inventors: Sean Javad Kamkar, Geoffrey Michael Ward, Jerome Louis Budzik

Patent number: 11715162Abstract: Systems and methods for capturing digital image data associated with a property for an insurance quote are described. According to certain aspects, a mobile device may enable a user to capture digital image data and/or a video stream and other information of house features and characteristics that may be used to determine insurability and estimated replacement cost of the property. The mobile device may enable the user to capture the information at the property location, which may eliminate the need for a manual assessment or characterization of home features by a homeowner. A back-end server may receive the data, analyze the data to generate an insurance quote (and/or insurance application) for the property, and transmit the insurance quote (and/or application) to the mobile device for presentation to the user. The mobile device may enable the user to select terms, deductibles, limits, and/or coverages, and ultimately approve a homeowner's insurance policy.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Timothy Joel Davis, Amy Engelhorn, Colby S.

Patent number: 11715564Abstract: Systems and methods for utilizing machine learning to generate a trans-diagnostic classifier that is operative to concurrently diagnose a plurality of different mental health disorders using a single trans-diagnostic questionnaire that includes a plurality of questions (e.g., 17 questions). Machine learning techniques are used to process labeled training data to build statistical models that include trans-diagnostic item-level questions as features to create a screen to classify groups of subjects as either healthy or as possibly having a mental health disorder. A subset of questions are selected from the multiple self-administered mental health questionnaires and used to autonomously screen subjects across multiple mental health disorders without physician involvement, optionally remotely and repeatedly, in a short amount of time.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2019Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: NEUMORA THERAPEUTICS, INC.Inventors: Monika Sharma Mellem, Yuelu Liu, Parvez Ahammad, Humberto Andres Gonzalez Cabezas, William J.

Patent number: 11708050Abstract: In system and methods for pre-generating insurance claims, 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. An estimated insurance claim 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 to facilitate presenting all, or a portion of, the estimated insurance claim to the driver or the insured. A wireless communication from the driver or insured indicating approval, rejection or modification of the estimated insurance claim may be received. The estimated insurance claim may be handled in accordance with the approval, rejection or modification.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2022Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Thomas Michael Potter, Mark E.

Patent number: 11710187Abstract: A back-end application computer server may receive a request along with a descriptive term. A look-up process may be performed based on the descriptive term (and hidden terms) may establish a set of potential pre-determined descriptions. The user may select one of the potential descriptions, and a user identifier may be associated with the request. A series of dynamic information exchanges may then help assign a category to the user identifier. A partial set of initial request details may be received from a third-party device and the user may adjust and/or add details to create a complete set. A potential value may then be calculated for the request. An indication of the potential value may be transmitted to the user, and information about the user identifier may be transmitted to a user response terminal to facilitate communication between the user response terminal and the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2020Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: HARTFORD FIRE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Anand Nagesh Rakshe, Vannak Sin, James Joseph Varney, Jr.
