Aviation Insurance Quoting Platform with Automated Data Prefill
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current aviation insurance quoting processes are inefficient, requiring brokers to manually submit detailed information to multiple insurance vendors, leading to significant time and effort expenditure, and lack a system for minimizing user input.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilizes a service server to receive aircraft identification, initiate a third-party information request to a national aviation authority, and transmit requests for insurance premium estimates to multiple vendors, prefilling necessary data and minimizing user input through an online platform.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If brokers manually submit detailed information to each insurance vendor individually, then they can receive aviation insurance quotes, but the process requires significant time and effort expenditure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple separate quote submission processes into a single unified system. The broker enters information once into a centralized platform that automatically distributes it to multiple insurance vendors simultaneously, eliminating the need to manually submit the same detailed information to each vendor individually.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-populating quote forms with aircraft data from national aviation authorities and pre-formatting information in common formats required by multiple vendors. This preliminary preparation reduces the time brokers need to spend on each individual quote submission.
2Reliability
If brokers use dedicated PC programs installed on local computers to receive quotes, then they can access aviation insurance systems, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary web-based platform that acts as a mediator between brokers and insurance vendors. This platform handles all the complex interactions, data formatting, and vendor communications through a standardized interface, eliminating the need for brokers to install and manage complex dedicated PC programs on their local computers.
3Measurement precision
If brokers supply very detailed information about aircraft and pilot to each vendor, then they can receive accurate quotes, but the user input effort increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically retrieving aircraft data from national aviation authorities and pre-populating quote forms without requiring broker intervention. The system also automatically formats and transmits information to multiple vendors, reducing the user input effort from detailed manual entry to simply providing basic aircraft identification.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal information format that can be used by multiple insurance vendors simultaneously. The system converts broker input into a common format that satisfies the requirements of different vendors, eliminating the need to supply different detailed information sets to each vendor while maintaining quote precision.
4Adaptability or versatility
If brokers receive quotes from multiple vendors, then they can compare options, but the time required to receive all quotes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables continuous parallel processing by simultaneously transmitting quote requests to multiple insurance vendors at the same time through the unified platform. Instead of sequentially contacting each vendor, the system maintains continuous useful action by distributing all requests concurrently and collecting responses in real-time, allowing brokers to compare options from multiple vendors without sequential delays.
