Solution Overview

Problem

Insurance assessments of properties, such as houses and buildings, are laborious and time-consuming due to the need for data aggregation and analysis from various sources, especially after catastrophic events or changes in property conditions.

Innovation Solution

A property assessment system that uses circuitry to obtain predetermined data and imagery of properties, generate assessments, rank properties, and display lists with corresponding maps or images, facilitating efficient insurance assessments and post-event action determinations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional data aggregation and analysis methods are used for property assessment, then comprehensive insurance assessments can be performed, but the process becomes laborious and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment comprehensivenessVSAvoidassessment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The assessment system segments data from multiple sources (aerial imagery, property records, environmental data, historical claims) into distinct modular components that can be independently processed and analyzed, then integrated to form a comprehensive assessment without requiring manual aggregation of all data elements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical data aggregation and analysis processes with automated computerized systems that use algorithms and machine learning models to process property data, aerial imagery, and environmental factors, dramatically reducing assessment time while maintaining comprehensive evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Productivity

If site visits are eliminated using aerial imaging, then assessment efficiency improves, but the ability to detect and measure property conditions becomes more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment efficiencyVSAvoidproperty condition detection
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs multi-functional aerial imaging technology that captures various types of data (visual imagery, thermal data, LiDAR point clouds) from a single platform, enabling comprehensive property condition assessment without site visits by using multiple detection methods simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces computerized image processing algorithms and analytical tools as intermediaries that bridge the gap between aerial imagery collection and property condition assessment, automatically extracting meaningful information about property conditions from remote imaging data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive data from multiple sources is aggregated for accurate assessments, then assessment accuracy improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple data sources (property management systems, aerial imaging platforms, environmental databases, claims history) into a single integrated assessment platform that automatically correlates and analyzes data from all sources, reducing the perceived complexity by providing a unified interface despite the sophisticated data integration backend

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A property assessment system includes circuitry that obtains predetermined data for one or more properties, and obtains at least one of a map or an image of the one or more properties. The circuitry then generates assessments for the one or more properties based on the predetermined data, and ranks the one or more properties based on the assessments. The circuitry generates a list of the one or more properties based on the rank, and displays the list of the one or more properties in conjunction with the map or image of the one or more properties.
