Technology for automatically identifying and scheduling provider appointments in response to accident events
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method in an electronic device of managing accident events, the method comprising:
- accessing a set of sensor data from a set of sensors associated with a vehicle;
determining, from the set of sensor data, that an accident event occurred, the accident event having an associated type;
in response to determining that the accident event occurred,interfacing with an application installed on the electronic device to identify at least one prior appointment completed by an individual associated with the vehicle,identifying a provider based on the associated type of the accident event, wherein the at least one prior appointment was completed at the provider, andaccessing, via a wireless network connection, an availability of the provider; and
automatically scheduling, via the wireless network connection, an appointment with the provider based on the availability of the provider.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing accident events are disclosed. According to certain aspects, an electronic device may access sensor data associated with operation of a vehicle, and analyze the sensor data to determine that an accident event has occurred, where the accident event may have one or more effects such as damage or injury. The electronic device may also interface with a server to identify one or more providers who may be capable of addressing the effects of the accident event. The electronic device or the server may automatically schedule an appointment(s) with the one or more providers, resulting in an effective handling of the accident event.

10. An electronic device configured to manage accident events, comprising:
-
a transceiver configured to communicate via a wireless network connection; a memory configured to store an application and non-transitory computer executable instructions; and a processor configured to interface with the transceiver and the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the non-transitory computer executable instructions to cause the processor to; access a set of sensor data from a set of sensors associated with a vehicle, determine, from the set of sensor data, that an accident event occurred, the accident event having an associated type, in response to determining that the accident event occurred, interface with the application to identify at least one prior appointment completed by an individual associated with the vehicle, identify a provider based on the associated type of the accident event, wherein the at least one prior appointment was completed at the provider, and access, via the transceiver, an availability of the provider, and automatically schedule, via the transceiver, an appointment with the provider based on the availability of the provider. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
