Abstract

A multivariate predictive system processes usage based data that includes a database engine that provides access to a plurality of database management systems that mine diverse sources of usage based data. A digital filter selectively filters data streams that include usage based data. A sampler automatically divides the filtered data into sample groups and stores the sample groups in a memory. The sampler divides the filtered data according to insurance rating variables processed by a processor programmed to underwrite an insurance product and rate that insurance product. Some samplers store the divided filter data in a local memory. A multiplier multiples rating factors preprogrammed with the insurance rating variables with a base rate of insurance to determine an insured'"'"'s insurance premium.

Claims

1. An automated system that improves the connectivity of home devices comprising:

an interconnected smart home device that sends and receives data to another interconnected smart home device through a wireless network;

the interconnected smart home device fuses a user identifier and a device identifier of the interconnected smart home device to the data after the interconnected smart home device measures a home'"'"'s condition and before the interconnected smart home device communicates with another interconnected home device;

the interconnected smart home device dynamically routes the data to an operational interconnected smart home device when another interconnected smart home device it attempts to communicate with fails; and

a database engine that provides access to a plurality of database management systems that mine diverse sources of usage based data rendered by the interconnected smart home devices;

a digital filter that selectively passes filtered data streams that comprises the usage based data by removing data records that have missing data fields, incomplete data, and corrupt data;

a sampler that automatically divides the filtered data into sample groups associated with the user identifier and device identifier and stores the sample groups in a memory;

the sampler divides the filtered data according to insurance rating variables associated with the user identifier and device identifier;

the filtered data is processed by a processor programmed to underwrite an insurance product and rate the insurance product; and

a multiplier that multiples a plurality of rating factors associated with the insurance rating variables and the sample groups with a base rate of insurance to determine a final insurance premium for the user.

2. The system of claim 1 where the digital filter is configured to interface a home gateway that aggregates the usage based data and is remote from the digital filter.

3. A multivariate system that automatically improves the connectivity of home devices comprising:

a wireless communication interface configured to connect a smart home device to another smart home device to an insurance server cluster;

the smart home device fuses a user identifier and a device identifier of the smart home device to data that the smart home device generates after the smart home device measures a home'"'"'s condition and before the smart home device communicates with the another smart home device;

the smart home device dynamically routes the data to an operational smart home device when another smart home device it attempts to communicate with fails;

where the insurance server cluster comprising a group of independent network connected servers that operate and appear to a mobile client device as if the independent network servers were a single server computer is programmed to;

receive usage based data through a mobile connection;

derive a safety score based on the user identifier, the device identifier, and the usage based data for a homeowner insurance product; and

derive a discount to an insurance premium for the homeowner insurance product based on the safety score.

4. The multivariate system of claim 3 the mobile client device executes code stored in the non-transitory media that renders insurance quoting services, insurance claims services, on-line insurance policy services, and usage based insurance services.
