  • Patent number: 11348180
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11341580
    Abstract: An aerial image system may generate images of structures providing views that might otherwise be difficult to obtain. These images may be used to determine various characteristics of the structure, which may then be processed for a variety of tasks including product marketing, claim processing and post-claim analysis. The images may be analyzed by the aerial image system or by a ground-based processing system to determine the structural characteristics such as roof age, roof type and roof pitch. In some examples, image analysis techniques such as edge detection and contrast determination may assist in determining the requisite data. Additionally or alternatively, the processing system may direct or control one or more image capture devices to obtain desired images.

  • Patent number: 11334940
    Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may facilitate the generation of a virtual reconstruction model of a vehicle collision. UAVs may collect data (including images) related to the vehicle collision, such as with the insured's permission, which may be received by an external computing device associated with the insurer and utilized to perform a photogrammetric analysis of the images to determine vehicle impact points, the road layout at the scene of the collision, the state of the traffic light at the scene of the collision, the speeds and directions of vehicles, etc. This data may be used to generate a virtual reconstruction model of the vehicle collision. An insurer may use the virtual reconstruction model to perform various insurance-related tasks, such as allocating fault to drivers or autonomous vehicles involved in the vehicle collision, and adjustment of insurance pricing based upon the fault allocation.

  • Patent number: 11282154
    Abstract: A deceased notification system utilizing hub and spoke architecture to facilitate notifications to multiple organizations. By having all disparate and disjointed company deceased notification processes and their corresponding required documentation self-contained in one system, the invention provides a means for those settling estates to utilize a “hub and spoke” model to provide deceased notifications, whereby they register someone's death at the hub, and have the system proactively push deceased notifications to all pertinent organizations at the earliest time. This will save all parties time, provide quicker notifications to prevent deceased identity theft, as well as the stoppage of charges for services that are no longer needed, by the decedent.

  • Patent number: 11275197
    Abstract: A method for determining national crop yields during the growing season is provided. In an embodiment, a server computer system receives agricultural data records for a particular year that represent covariate data values related to plants at a specific geo-location at a specific time. The system aggregates the records to create geo-specific time series for a geo-location over a specified time. The system creates aggregated time series from a subset of the geo-specific time series. The system selects a representative feature from the aggregated time series and creates a covariate matrix for each specific geographic area in computer memory. The system determines a specific state crop yield for a specific year using linear regression to calculate the specific state crop yield from the covariate matrix. The system determines a national crop yield for the specific year using the sum of the state crop yields for the specific year nationally adjusted.

  • Patent number: 11270384
    Abstract: A DI recovery management system generates a plurality of ranked claimant records and recovery scores. A predictive machine learning model inputs disability income claim data and disability income claimant data into an event history model utilizing discrete-time survival analysis in conjunction with a gradient boosting machine learning model. The claim termination event is one of a plurality of preselected recovery events that indicate that a claimant has achieved return to work capacity. Claimant data used in modeling includes diagnosis data representative of workplace disability duration guidelines. The predictive machine learning model is continually trained using updated disability income claims data. The training procedure transforms claimant records extracted from a DI claims database into a longitudinal format that includes multiple person-year records corresponding to each claimant record.

  • Patent number: 11263837
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically determining, in near real-time, whether a vehicular incident has occurred and for automatically assessing whether the driver of a specific vehicle contributed to that incident. Data related to a specific vehicle is gathered by at least one sensor. The data is then transmitted to a data processing unit, which uses an incident detection module to determine whether an incident occurred. The system may verify that conclusion by sending a message to the vehicle occupant(s). The system may also take actions in response to the incident. If an incident has occurred, the data processing unit can use the vehicle-related data, as well as external data, to assess the contribution of the vehicle's driver. The system may comprise one or more neural networks. The system may also comprise a database for storing the vehicle-related data.

  • Patent number: 11257165
    Abstract: A new design strategy based upon finite state machine models is used to develop a policy administration system. The policy administration system comprises a plurality of finite state machined-based households, each of which is defined by a set of states represented by data that describe or relate to various policies associated with each household, a set of events represented by transactions that operate on the data, and/or a set of transition functions represented by transaction logics and/or product rules that govern how the transactions are processed. In this manner, each finite state machine-based household becomes a type of self-contained policy administration system that may be executed and managed concurrently. Each policy may be an insurance policy, such as an auto, home, life, renters, personal articles, or health insurance policy. Each finite state machine-based or virtual household may facilitate managing, updating, or generating insurance policies for the household and/or household members.

  • Patent number: 11257377
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying high risk parking lots. High risk parking lots may be, for example, parking lots that pose a higher than average risk of collisions and/or theft. Auto insurance claim data may be analyzed to identify hazardous areas. A virtual navigation of roads within the hazardous area may be identified. Public parking lots within the virtual navigation map may be defined, with each public parking lot determined as either in a hazardous area or not. A vehicle may be determined to be approaching or parking in a parking lot in a hazardous area, and a nearby public parking lot not associated with the hazardous area may be selected instead. A route from a current position to the nearby public parking lot may be generated, and the vehicle may be routed to the nearby public parking lot. As a result, collisions and thefts may be reduced.
