Abstract

A system and method of facilitating replacement of a stolen item, including receiving a first user profile; receiving a plurality of item descriptions associated with the first user profile; storing the received item descriptions and the associated first user profile in a first plurality of computer readable data structures; receiving a selection constituting an item description selected from the plurality of item descriptions stored in the first plurality of computer-readable data structures; receiving an item loss description describing loss of the selected item; storing an item loss report in a second plurality of computer-readable data structures; obtaining a third plurality of computer-readable data structures including a. discount offer authorizing purchase of the selected item from a vendor at a discount from a retail purchase price; comparing the selected item description from the second plurality of data structures and the item discount offer from the third plurality of data structures; identifying an item discount offer corresponding to the selected item description; and generating a notification including the identified discount offer.

Claims

1. A method of facilitating replacement of a stolen item, comprising:

receiving a first user profile;

receiving a plurality of item descriptions associated with the first user profile;

storing the received item descriptions and the associated first user profile in a first plurality of computer-readable data structures;

receiving a selection constituting an item description selected from the plurality of item descriptions stored in the first plurality of computer-readable data structures;

receiving an item loss description describing loss of the selected item;

storing an item loss report in a second plurality of computer-readable data structures, the item loss report including the first user profile, the selected item descriptions, and the loss incident description;

obtaining a third plurality of computer-readable data structures including a discount offer authorizing purchase of the selected item from a vendor at a discount from a retail purchase price;

comparing the selected item description from the second plurality of data structures and the item discount offer from the third plurality of data structures;

identifying an item discount offer corresponding to the selected item description; and

generating a notification including the identified discount offer;

wherein the method is performed by one or more processors executing computer readable code embodied in non-transitory computer usable media.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising transmitting the notification for receipt by a computing device of the user associated with the first user profile.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the item description includes one or more of:

a text description, plurality of photographs, a purchase receipt, and an item serial number.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the loss report includes one or more of a loss time, loss location, perpetrator description, weapon description, and estimated item cost.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a law enforcement profile, different than the first user profile;

transmitting the item loss report to a second user, different than the first user, associated with the law enforcement profile; and

receiving a transmission including a law enforcement validation of the item loss report.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the law enforcement profile includes a credential uniquely identifying a law enforcement officer, a law enforcement agency, or a designate thereof.

7. The method of claim 5, further comprising:

receiving an insurance agent profile, different than the first user profile and the law enforcement profile;

receiving a request for at least a portion of the validated item loss report; and

transmitting the requested, validated item loss report to a third user, different than the first and second users, associated with the insurance agent profile.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a transmission indicating redemption of the identified discount offer included in the notification.

9. A system for facilitating replacement of a stolen item, comprising:

a data storage device; and

one or more processors in communication with the data storage device, the one or more processors operative to;

receive a first user profile;

receive a plurality of item descriptions associated with the first user profile;

store the received item descriptions and the associated first user profile in a first plurality of computer-readable data structures;

receive a selection constituting an item description selected from the plurality of item descriptions stored in the first plurality of computer-readable data structures;

receive an item loss description describing loss of the selected item;

store an item loss report in a second plurality of computer-readable data structures, the item loss report including the first user profile, the selected item descriptions, and the loss incident description;

obtain a. third plurality of computer-readable data structures including a discount offer authorizing purchase of a item from a vendor at a discount from a retail purchase price;

compare the selected item description from the second plurality of data structures and the item discount offer from the third plurality of data structures;

identify an item discount offer corresponding to the selected item description; and

generate a notification including the identified discount offer.

10. The system of claim 9, Wherein the one or more processors are further adapted to transmit the notification for receipt by a computing device of the user associated with the first user profile.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the one or more processors are further adapted to:

generate a first plurality of user interfaces for receiving the first user profile; and

generate a second plurality of user interfaces for receiving the item description selection and the item loss description.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the item description includes one or more of:

a text description, plurality of photographs, a purchase receipt, and an item serial number.

13. The system of claim 9, wherein the loss report includes one or more of a loss time, loss location, perpetrator description, weapon description, and estimated item cost.

14. The system of claim 9, wherein the one or more processors are further adapted to:

receive a law enforcement profile, different than the first user profile;

transmit the item loss report to a second user, different than the first user, associated with the law enforcement profile; and

receive a transmission including a validation of the requested item loss report.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the law enforcement profile includes a credential uniquely identifying a law enforcement officer, a law enforcement agency, or a designate thereof.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the one or more processors are further adapted to:

receive an insurance agent profile, different than the first user profile and the law enforcement profile;

receive a request for at least a portion of the validated item loss report; and

transmit the requested, validated item loss report to a third user, different than the first and second users, associated with the insurance agent profile.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the one or more processors are further adapted receive a transmission indicating redemption of the identified discount offer included in the notification.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein the one or more processors are further adapted to:

generate a third plurality of user interfaces for receiving the law enforcement profile and item loss report request; and

generate a fourth plurality of user interfaces for receiving the insurance agent profile and requesting the validated item loss report.

19. The system of claim 9, wherein the one or more processors are further adapted to receive a transmission indicating redemption of the identified discount offer included in the notification.
