Abstract

A computer system and method for processing risk or loss related data to determine insurance products/warranties for objects located in an insured property. Informatic data is received from one or more informatic sensor devices relating to one or more objects located in an insured property. Analysis is performed on the informatic data to determine a condition score for at least one of the one or more objects located in the insured property. Determination is made if one or more insurance products are to be recommended for the at least object located in the insured property based upon the determined condition score.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a plurality of electrical sensors configured to acquire electrical data associated with an electrical system and an object configured to couple to the electrical system in a property;

a processor configured to;

receive a first set of the electrical data from the plurality of electrical sensors, wherein the first set of the electrical data comprises a first set of operating parameters associated with the electrical system;

determine a warranty policy for the electrical system by;

determining a first condition score of the electrical system based on a comparison between each operating parameter of the first set of operating parameters and an expected range for each operating parameter of the first set of operating parameters for the electrical system, wherein the expected range is determined at least in part based on one or more properties associated with the electrical system;

determining a second condition score of the object based on additional electrical data, wherein the additional electrical data comprises a second set of operating parameters associated with the object;

determining a relationship score between the electrical system and the object, wherein the relationship score is indicative of a degree of relatedness of the electrical system with respect to the object; and

determining the warranty policy based on the first condition score, the second condition score, and the relationship score;

send the warranty policy to a computing device;

receive a second set of the electrical data from the plurality of electrical sensors after sending the warranty policy to the computing device;

detect a claim on the warranty policy based on the second set of the electrical data and the warranty policy;

send a notification of the claim to the computing device; and

adjust the warranty policy based on the second set of the electrical data and the claim.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the warranty policy comprises a premium, a term, a coverage amount, a set of coverage terms, or any combination thereof.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the first set of operating parameters associated with the electrical system comprises a voltage, a current, or both.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to determine the warranty policy by:

comparing the first set of the electrical data to a stress tolerance of the electrical system; and

determining the warranty policy based on an additional comparison between the first set of the electrical data and the stress tolerance of the electrical system.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of electrical sensors comprises a plurality of potentiometers.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the first set of operating parameters comprises one operating parameter of the electrical system.

7. A method, comprising:

receiving, via a processor, a first set of electrical data associated with an electrical system from a plurality of sensors disposed within a structure, wherein the first set of electrical data comprises a first set of operating parameters associated with the electrical system;

determining, via the processor, a warranty policy for the electrical system by;

determining a first condition score of the electrical system based on a comparison between each operating parameter of the first set of operating parameters and an expected range for each operating parameter of the first set of operating parameters for the electrical system, wherein the expected range is determined at least in part based on one or more properties associated with the electrical system;

determining a second condition score of an object configured to couple to the electrical system based on additional electrical data, wherein the additional electrical data comprises a second set of operating parameters associated with the object;

determining a relationship score between the electrical system and the object, wherein the relationship score is indicative of a degree of relatedness of the electrical system with respect to the object; and

determining the warranty policy based on the first condition score, the second condition score, and the relationship score;

receiving, via the processor, a second set of electrical data associated with the electrical system from the plurality of electrical sensors after receiving the first set of electrical data;

detecting, via the processor, a claim on the warranty policy based on the second set of the electrical data and the warranty policy;

sending, via the processor, a notification of the claim to a computing device

adjusting, via the processor, the warranty policy based on a comparison of the first set of electrical data and the second set of electrical data; and

sending, via the processor, a notification indicative of an adjusted warranty policy to the computing device.

8. The method of claim 7, comprising receiving additional sets of electrical data associated with the electrical system from the plurality of electrical sensors periodically.

9. The method of claim 7, comprising automatically initiating a claim submission process, via the processor, in response to detecting the claim on the warranty policy.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein adjusting the warranty policy comprises extending a term for the warranty policy.

11. A computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions configured to cause a processor to:

receive a first set of electrical data associated with an electrical system from a plurality of electrical sensors inside and outside a structure, wherein the first set of electrical data comprises a first set of operating parameters of the electrical system, wherein the plurality of electrical sensors are configured to acquire electrical data associated with the electrical system and an object configured to couple to the electrical system;

determine a warranty policy for the electrical system by;

determining a first condition score of the electrical system based on a comparison between each operating parameter of the first set of operating parameters and an expected range for each operating parameter of the first set of operating parameters for the electrical system, wherein the expected range is determined at least in part based on one or more properties associated with the electrical system;

determining a second condition score of the object based on additional electrical data, wherein the additional electrical data comprises a second set of operating parameters associated with the object;

determining a relationship score between the electrical system and the object, wherein the relationship score is indicative of a degree of relatedness of the electrical system with respect to the object; and

determining the warranty policy based on the first condition score, the second condition score, and the relationship score;

send the warranty policy to a computing device;

receive a second set of electrical data from the plurality of electrical sensors after sending the warranty policy to the computing device;

detect a claim on the warranty policy based on the second set of electrical data and the warranty policy; and

send a notification of the claim to the computing device; and

adjust the warranty policy based on the second set of the electrical data and the claim.

12. The computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the computer-executable instructions are configured to cause the processor to adjust the warranty policy based on a comparison of the first set of electrical data and the second set of electrical data.

13. The computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein the computing device is associated with a policy holder of the warranty policy.
