System and method for translating insurance-related data
First Claim
1. A computer system for translating insurance-related data, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory storage device in communication with the processor;
the processor adapted to;
receive via a computer communications network a user identification and an identification of a user electronic file in a remote storage location, the user electronic file being in any one of a plurality of formats, and having data related to a request for an insurance quote;
provide an output signal for display to the user on a display device connected to the processor via the computer communications network a prompt for the user to provide mapping data mapping a plurality of data fields classifying data for requests for insurance quotes to data identifiers in the user electronic file;
receive mapping data in response to the prompt;
access the user electronic file;
employing the received mapping data, map data elements, the elements including at least a name of the proposed insured and an address of the proposed insured, identified in the user electronic file, to an ACORD XML compliant format document;
determine whether the mapped data elements constitute all required data for submission of a request for an insurance quote; and
if the mapped data elements do not constitute all required data, prompt the user for further data;
otherwise provide an output signal communicating the ACORD XML compliant format document to a quote evaluation system.

Abstract
A computer system includes a processor; and a memory storage device in communication with the processor. The processor is adapted to: receive via a computer communications network a user identification and an identification of an electronic file having user-generated insurance-related data; provide an output signal for display to the user a prompt for the user to provide mapping data mapping a plurality of insurance-related data fields data identifiers in the user-data electronic file; receive mapping data in response to the prompt; access the user electronic file; employing the received mapping data, map data elements identified in the user-data electronic file, to a document in a predetermined format; verify that the received mapped data constitutes complete data to submit in connection with an insurance transaction; and provide an output signal including data constituting the document in a predetermined format to a system for further processing in accordance with an insurance transaction.
