Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for determining insurance premiums are not capable of providing real-time analysis of human and building telematic data, leading to outdated and incomplete data-based quotes.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize telematics data acquisition devices to collect and process both human health and building environmental data in real-time, using a communications interface and business logic processor to calculate an insurance premium quote based on this data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If real-time telematic data collection and processing is implemented, then accuracy and timeliness of insurance premium quotes is improved, but system complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of insurance premium quoteVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides telematic data collection into separate modules: health telematic data collection device, building telematic data collection device, and communications interface. Each device collects specific types of data independently, which are then processed separately by the business logic processor to determine insurance premiums. This segmentation reduces overall system complexity while maintaining real-time processing capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The business logic processor acts as an intermediary between the telematic data collection devices and the insurance premium determination system. It receives health telematic data and building telematic data from respective devices, processes this data to assess risk levels, and generates insurance premium quotes. This intermediary layer simplifies the integration complexity between data collection and premium calculation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of time

If real-time telematic data processing is implemented, then timeliness of insurance premium feedback is improved, but data processing requirements and computational load increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetimeliness of insurance premium quoteVSAvoidcomputational load
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data collection and processing by continuously monitoring health telematic data and building telematic data in real-time before insurance premium determination is needed. The business logic processor pre-processes this data to assess current risk levels, enabling rapid generation of insurance premium quotes when requested without requiring intensive computational analysis at the moment of quoting.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The telematic data collection devices automatically and continuously collect health and building telematic data without requiring manual intervention or intensive processing. The devices self-manage data acquisition, filtering, and preliminary processing, reducing the computational burden on the central business logic processor while maintaining real-time data availability for insurance premium determination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
