1. A sensor based analysis system, comprising:
- a first communication device configured to receive a request to insure a property of an entity;
a terminal comprising a remote communication device in communication with one or more property sensors monitoring the property and storing computer-readable instructions defining an automated webservice application configured to dynamically upload property sensor data received from the one or more property sensors;
a second communication device configured to receive the property sensor data from the first communication device, wherein the property sensor data includes at least one data parameter;
a memory configured to store (1) a plurality of sets of data parameters, wherein each of the plurality of sets is associated with one or more of (a) at least one characteristic of the property, (b) at least one characteristic of the entity, (c) a value of the at least one characteristic of the property, and (d) a value of the at least one characteristic of the entity, and (2) a plurality of underwriting and pricing algorithms;
an application server configured, responsive to receipt of the request to insure the property, to;
render, for display on the terminal, a series of user interfaces for requesting data indicative of the at least one characteristic of the property and data indicative of the at least one characteristic of the entity;
receive, from the terminal, the data indicative of the at least one characteristic of the property and the data indicative of the at least one characteristic of the entity;
receive, from the terminal, the property sensor data dynamically uploaded by the automated webservice application;
dynamically select one of the plurality of sets of data parameters based on;
(1) the received data indicative of the at least one characteristic of the property, (2) the received data indicative of the at least one characteristic of the entity, and (3) the received property sensor data;
dynamically analyze, by a selected one of the plurality of underwriting and pricing algorithms that corresponds to the selected one of the plurality of sets of data parameters, the specific data parameters identified by the selected one of the plurality of sets identifying specific data parameters to be analyzed, to generate one of data indicative of an underwriting determination and data indicative of a pricing determination; and
an output device configured to output the generated one of the data indicative of underwriting determination and data indicative of the pricing determination.

Abstract
The invention relates to systems and methods for analyzing data collected from sensors monitoring property. In particular, the systems and methods analyze the data to make property insurance underwriting decisions based on the collected sensor data using a computerized process that varies the way in which it manipulates the collected sensor data based on a characteristic of the property being insured, a characteristic of the entity seeking the insurance, and/or on the value of one or more collected data parameters. The invention also relates to systems and methods of making property insurance pricing decisions based on a similarly dynamic computerized process.
