Solution Overview

Problem

Current catastrophic event preparedness and insurance claim processing are inefficient, leading to high damage costs, inadequate mitigation, and rampant fraud due to lack of individualized guidance and manual investigative processes.

Innovation Solution

A computing system integrating machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data augmentation to provide predictive loss prevention and mitigation services, automate claim processing, and detect fraud by leveraging real-time data and historical information for policy holders and providers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual investigative processes are used for insurance claims, then investigators can identify fraudulent behavior, but the process is inefficient and allows perpetrators to cover their tracks prior to making fraudulent claims

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud detection accuracyVSAvoidclaim processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by simulating the claimed incident before the actual event occurs to establish a baseline of normal behavior. This pre-event simulation allows the system to detect deviations that indicate fraudulent intent, enabling investigators to identify potential fraud before claims are submitted, rather than after perpetrators have already covered their tracks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously comparing actual incident data against simulated baseline scenarios. This feedback loop enables real-time detection of fraudulent patterns and provides investigators with actionable intelligence, improving both the accuracy of fraud detection and the efficiency of claim processing through automated analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If generalities regarding preparedness are provided to individuals, then guidance can be given to the public, but individualized preparedness guidance is lacking resulting in high damage costs and inadequate mitigation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepreparedness guidance accessibilityVSAvoiddamage costs
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by providing customized preparedness guidance tailored to each individual's specific risk profile, property characteristics, and local hazard conditions. Rather than delivering generic advice to all users, the system generates location-specific recommendations that address the unique vulnerabilities of each policyholder, thereby improving mitigation effectiveness and reducing damage costs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by simulating potential incidents and generating personalized preparedness plans before actual events occur. This advance preparation enables policyholders to take proactive mitigation measures specific to their risks, reducing potential damage costs while providing accessible, individualized guidance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If the insurance industry waits for claim events and resultant claim filings prior to performing investigative processes, then claims can be processed, but rampant fraud increases premium costs for all policy holders

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclaim processing speedVSAvoidfraudulent claims
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary investigative actions by simulating claimed incidents and analyzing behavior patterns before formal claim filings occur. This pre-claim investigation capability allows the industry to identify and flag potentially fraudulent claims early in the process, maintaining efficient processing speed while reducing fraudulent payouts that increase premium costs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms that continuously monitor and analyze claim patterns, providing real-time insights into fraudulent behavior. This feedback enables rapid identification of suspicious claims while maintaining efficient processing, thereby reducing fraud-related losses without sacrificing productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A computing system can receive a claim trigger from a computing device of a user indicating that a vehicular incident has occurred. The system can provide a damage assessment interface for display on the computing device of the user, enabling the user to indicate damage on the vehicle based on the vehicular incident. The system may then provide a map interface that prompts the user to provide inputs indicating a location at which the vehicular incident occurred and at least one of a direction of travel, a right-of-way, a route, a trajectory, or a speed of the vehicle on the map interface. Based at least in part on the inputs provided by the user, the system initiates a physics engine to generate a simulation of the vehicular incident.
