  • Patent number: 11500377
    Abstract: According to certain aspects, a computer-implemented method for operating an autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle may be provided. With the customer's permission, an identity of a vehicle operator may be identified and a vehicle operator profile may be retrieved. Operating data regarding autonomous operation features operating the vehicle may be received from vehicle-mounted sensors. When a request to disable an autonomous feature is received, a risk level for the autonomous feature is determined and compared with a driver behavior setting for the autonomous feature stored in the vehicle operator profile. Based upon the risk level comparison, the autonomous vehicle retains control of vehicle or the autonomous feature is disengaged depending upon which is the safer driver—the autonomous vehicle or the vehicle human occupant. As a result, unsafe disengagement of self-driving functionality for autonomous vehicles may be alleviated.

  • Patent number: 11488256
    Abstract: Millions of bodily injury insurance claims are filed yearly to help people who've suffered accidents from work, slip-and-falls, and auto collisions. In processing these claims, insurance companies, TPAs, and law firms routinely hire experts, such as physicians, to conduct independent medical evaluations (IMEs) to assist claims adjusters and attorneys in analyzing the eligibility of claimants for indemnity and medical benefit payments. IMEs typically cost thousands of dollars each. Yet, many are ordered too early, wasting money that could otherwise be used to reduce insurance premiums. To reduce this waste, the inventors devised, among other things, one or more exemplary systems which not only predict the outcomes of IMEs based on claimant medical records and/or or activity data before ordering them, but also presents selected claims and predictions within a graphical user interface that facilitates ordering the IMEs from a list of available physicians.

  • Patent number: 11455522
    Abstract: A mobile electronic device such as a smartphone is used in conjunction with a deep learning system to detect and respond to personal danger. The deep learning system monitors current information (such as location, audio, biometrics, etc.) from the smartphone and generates a risk score by comparing the information to a routine profile for the user. If the risk score exceeds a predetermined threshold, an alert is sent to the smartphone which presents an alert screen to the user. The alert screen allows the user to cancel the alert (and notify the deep learning system) or confirm the alert (and immediately transmit an emergency message). Multiple emergency contacts can be designated, e.g., one for a low-level risk, another for an intermediate-level risk, and another for a high-level risk, and the emergency message can be sent to a selected contact depending upon the severity of the risk score.

  • Patent number: 11443387
    Abstract: Systems and methods are configured to determine whether a particular information object is a duplicate of an object found in separate information objects. In various embodiments, the particular information object and each separate information object includes a set of data fields for storing data values that allows identical values to be stored in different fields for the objects. The data values for the particular information object are combined to form a data structure that includes a data element for each value. A determination as to whether the particular information object is an exact or partial match of a separate information object is made by performing a function on the data structure for the particular information object and a data structure for the separate information object to identify an intersection that includes data values for the particular information object that have an identical match with values for the separate information object.

  • Patent number: 11433908
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to using vehicle telematics to detect, evaluate, and respond to driving behaviors observed during a trip in a vehicle. The vehicle telematics information may characterize the observed driving behaviors, the segments traveled in the vehicle, and type of use of the vehicle. A rate to charge a driver may be based on the observed driving behaviors and a range of rates associated with the driver. The rate may fluctuate across a series of observation periods based on the driving behaviors observed during those observation periods. The rate may be presented to the driver in real-time while the driver operates a vehicle during a trip. The rate to charge the driver may further be based on use of the vehicle for personal use, ride shares, or vehicle shares.

  • Patent number: 11436269
    Abstract: Text input data for an electronic record may be aggregated and mapped to create composite text input data. A semantic event in the composite text input data may be automatically detected, and a text mining result database may be updated by adding an entry identifying the detected semantic event and a triggering semantic rule. An indication of the electronic record may then be transmitted to a back-end application computer server that also determines at least one parameter corresponding to a characteristic of the electronic record. The computer server may then execute a computerized predictive model to predict a future performance characteristic indicator for the electronic record based on the at least one parameter and the indication received from the text mining platform, wherein the future performance characteristic indicator is indicative of a likelihood of an actual value of the electronic record differing from a predicted value of the electronic record.
