SYSTEM AND METHOD TO DETERMINE AN INITIAL INSURANCE POLICY BENEFIT BASED ON TELEMATICS DATA COLLECTED BY A SMARTPHONE
First Claim
1. A system for determining an initial insurance policy benefit, the system comprising:
- a computer memory for storing data indicative of preliminary telematics data collected by a smartphone associated with a vehicle, the preliminary telematics data comprising at least one of geo-position information of the vehicle and vehicle kinematics data collected prior to issuance of an insurance policy for the vehicle; and
a processor in communication with the memory, wherein the processor is configured for;
calculating, based on the preliminary telematics data collected by the smartphone, the initial insurance policy benefit to be applied upon issuance of the insurance policy;
issuing the insurance policy in accordance with the initial insurance policy benefit in exchange for receiving data indicative of actual telematics data;
determining data indicative of actual telematics data received from a sensor within the vehicle, the actual telematics data comprising at least one of geo-position information of the vehicle and vehicle kinematics data collected after the issuance of the insurance policy for the vehicle;
determining that the data indicative of the actual telematics data meets a pre-determined condition,computing a final insurance policy benefit based on the actual telematics data,replacing the initial insurance policy benefit with the final insurance policy benefit, andoutputting an indication of the final insurance policy benefit for the insurance policy.

Abstract
A system and method are disclosed herein to determine an insurance policy benefit based on telematics data. The system includes a computer memory and a processor in communication with the computer memory. The computer memory stores data indicative of preliminary telematics data collected by a smartphone associated with a vehicle, including at least one of geo-position information of the vehicle and vehicle kinematics data collected prior to issuance of an insurance policy for the vehicle. The processor is configured to calculate and apply an initial insurance policy benefit in exchange for receiving the data indicative of actual telematics data. When the data indicative of the actual telematics data meets a pre-determined condition, the processor may compute a final insurance policy benefit and replace the initial insurance policy benefit with the final insurance policy benefit.

14. A computerized method for determining an initial insurance policy benefit, the method comprising:
-
determining data indicative of preliminary telematics data collected by a smartphone associated with a vehicle, the preliminary telematics data comprising at least one of geo-positional information of the vehicle and vehicle kinematics data collected prior to issuance of an insurance policy for the vehicle; automatically calculating, based on the preliminary telematics data collected by the smartphone, the initial insurance policy benefit to be applied upon issuance of the insurance policy; issuing the insurance policy in accordance with the initial insurance policy benefit in exchange for receiving data indicative of actual telematics data; receiving the data indicative of telematics data collected from a sensor within the vehicle, wherein the actual telematics data includes at least one of geo-position information and kinematics data collected after the issuance of the insurance policy for the vehicle; determining that the data indicative of the telematics data meets a pre-determined condition; automatically computing, by a processor, a final insurance policy benefit based on the actual telematics data; replacing the initial insurance policy benefit with the final insurance policy benefit; and outputting an indication of the final insurance policy benefit for the insurance policy. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored therein instructions that, upon execution, cause a computer to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
determining data indicative of preliminary telematics data collected by a smartphone associated with a vehicle, the preliminary telematics data comprising at least one of geo-positional information of the vehicle and vehicle kinematics data collected prior to issuance of an insurance policy for the vehicle; calculating, based on the preliminary telematics data collected by the smartphone, the initial insurance policy benefit to be applied upon issuance of the insurance policy; issuing the insurance policy in accordance with the initial insurance policy benefit in exchange for receiving data indicative of actual telematics data; receiving the data indicative of telematics data collected from a sensor within the vehicle, wherein the actual telematics data includes at least one of geo-position information and kinematics data collected after the issuance of the insurance policy for the vehicle; determining that the data indicative of the telematics data meets a pre-determined condition; automatically computing, by a processor, a final insurance policy benefit based on the actual telematics data; replacing the initial insurance policy benefit with the final insurance policy benefit; and outputting an indication of the final insurance policy benefit for the insurance policy. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
