Abstract

A system for processing asset information received from multiple sources, and distributing asset information in digital format for use by the insurance and financial institutions. The asset processing system includes the acquisition and processing of asset data received from video, digital images, scanned images, audio files, agency management systems, asset tracking systems, messaging interfaces and user input. The asset processing system streamlines and enhances the existing manual and disconnected asset information gathering methods. The asset processing system distributes asset information in standard digital format to multiple entities including insurance companies and other financial institutions.

Claims

1. A method for processing asset information from multiple sources in preparation for digital distribution. The method comprisng the step of:

receiving and processing video containing images and data for assets

receiving and processing video containing images of assets only

receiving and processing digital images receiving and processing audio files with information on assets

receiving and processing scanned forms with asset images and data

receiving and processing asset information from agency management systems

receiving and processing asset information from asset tracking systems

receiving and processing asset information from data and/or messaging interfaces

receiving and processing asset informatoin from user input into screens

2. The method of [claim Reference], further comprising the step of aligning the asset information that was received and process from a different source
