Spatial database system for generation of weather event and risk reports
First Claim
1. A method of generating integrated data reports, comprising:
- (a) storing, into a computer, insurer portfolio data comprising a plurality of geographic locations within a geographic area, wherein insurance coverage is provided by the insurer in said geographic location;
(b) storing, into the computer, one or more user risk thresholds for the insurer portfolio;
(c) receiving, by the computer, real time data including weather;
(d) determining, with the computer, the effects of the real time data on said insurer portfolio data plurality of geographic locations;
(e) selecting, with the computer, a subset of said geographic locations wherein the corresponding effect of the real time data exceeds at least one of the one or more user risk thresholds;
(f) determining a level of monetary exposure based on the effects of the real time data on said insurer portfolio data plurality of geographic locations, the level of exposure being capable of expression as a monetary value; and
(g) providing, by the computer, a report specifying the level of monetary exposure or the subset of said geographic locations.

Abstract
The present invention is a tool including a spatial database and a data warehouse used to track portfolio sites that are affected by weather events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, hail, tornados, or manmade events. A spatial database provides rich spatial geometry features using earth longitude and latitude as a 2-D reference system in spatial system. A insurer portfolio site, which is defined by longitude and latitude data, includes portions that are represented as a point. A weather event is represented as polygon in the spatial database. Based on user configured threshold values, it may be determined when a point falls inside, or on a boundary, of a polygon to identify a site that is affected by that weather event and corresponding reports may be generated, including maps identifying the affected sites and total insured value calculations for the affected sites, in order to gauge risk.

15. A system for generating integrated data reports, comprising:
-
at least one memory device including a spatial database receiving and storing insurer portfolio data, said insurer portfolio data including insurance coverage with corresponding geographic locations within a geographic area, said spatial database further receiving and storing real time data including weather data; a central processing unit (CPU) for receiving said insurer portfolio data and said real time data, and for receiving one or more user risk thresholds for the insurer portfolio; and a communications connection port for providing a connection to the insurer, whereby the CPU determines the effects of the real time data on said plurality of geographic locations in said insurer portfolio data, the CPU compares the effects of the real time data to the user risk thresholds to select a subset of said plurality of geographic locations in which the corresponding effect of the real time data exceeds at least one of the one or more user risk thresholds, and whereby the system provides a report via the communications connection to the insurer, wherein the CPU determines a level of monetary exposure based on the effects of the real time data on said plurality of geographic locations in said insurer portfolio data, the level of exposure being capable of expression in terms of a currency and being associated with the subset of said geographic locations, the report specifying the level of monetary exposure or the subset of said geographic locations. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
