Systems and methods for analyzing vehicle sensor data via a blockchain
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of utilizing blockchain technology to maintain a loss history blockchain after vehicle collisions based upon vehicle sensor data, the method comprising:
- receiving, via one or more processors and/or associated transceivers, an indication of a vehicle being involved a vehicle collision and a vehicle VIN;
accessing, at a memory, a loss history blockchain associated with the vehicle using the VIN as a key;
receiving, via the one or more processors and/or associated transceivers, vehicle sensor data generated or collected prior to, during, and/or after the vehicle collision;
creating, via the one or more processors, a block to add to the loss history blockchain that includes the vehicle sensor data, or otherwise updating the loss history blockchain with the vehicle sensor data associated with the vehicle collision;
analyzing, via the one or more processors, the vehicle sensor data to reconstruct the vehicle collision; and
updating, via the one or more processors, the loss history blockchain to include and/or indicate the reconstructed vehicle collision by including the created block.

12. A system for utilizing blockchain technology to maintain a loss history blockchain after vehicle collisions based upon vehicle sensor data, the system comprising:
-
a network interface configured to interface with a processor; a memory configured to store non-transitory computer executable instructions and configured to interface with the processor; and the processor configured to interface with the memory, wherein the processor is configured to execute the non-transitory computer executable instructions to cause the system to; receive an indication of a vehicle being involved a vehicle collision and a vehicle VIN; access a loss history blockchain associated with the vehicle using the VIN as a key; receive vehicle sensor data generated or collected prior to, during, and/or after the vehicle collision; create a block to add to the loss history blockchain that includes the vehicle sensor data, or otherwise update the loss history blockchain with the vehicle sensor data associated with the vehicle collision; analyze the vehicle sensor data to reconstruct the vehicle collision; and update the loss history blockchain to include and/or indicate the reconstructed vehicle collision by including the created block. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
