Definitions

  • Various embodiments of the present invention relate to the monitoring system and, more particularly, to cost-effective telematics systems and methods for monitoring insurance applicants by pinging or otherwise tracking carryable mobile communication devices.
  • Conventional methods used by insurance providers to determine costs of motor vehicle insurance involve gathering relevant personal data, such as historical driving data as well as information about an applicant's driving and garaging habits, from the applicant and referencing the applicant's public motor vehicle driving records. Such data generally results in a classification of the applicant to a broad actuarial class for which insurance rates are assigned based upon empirical experiences of an insurance provider. Various factors can be relevant to classification in a particular actuarial class, such as age, sex, marital status, garaging location, and driving record. Based on the personal data received from and about the applicant, the insurance provider can assign the applicant to an actuarial class and then assign an insurance premium based on that actuarial class.
  • a change to that personal data can result in a different premium being charged, if the change results in a different actuarial class for the applicant. For instance, if a first actuarial class includes drivers between the ages of 36 and 40, and a second actuarial class includes drivers between the ages of 41 and 45, then a change in the applicant's age from 38 to 39 may not result in a different actuarial class, but a gradual change from 38 to 45 may result in a changed actuarial class and thus a changed insurance premium.
  • a principal problem with these conventional insurance determination systems is that the personal data collected from the applicant is generally not verifiable.
  • the insurance provider may have no means to verify the applicant's mileage per year or the applicant's garaging location, either of which can be relevant to the selected insurance premium. Accordingly, the insurance provider's categorization of the applicant into a certain actuarial class may be based on false or incomplete information about the applicant, which can in turn result in an insurance premium that does not accurately reflect the risk of insuring the applicant.
  • various embodiments of the invention are monitoring systems configured to approximate a transportation pattern of a motor vehicle based on tracking of and by a mobile communication device associated with an insurance applicant or other entity.
  • the mobile communication device can be a carryable handheld device, such as a mobile cellular device, mobile phone, mobile computing device, or other mobile electronic device.
  • the mobile communication device can be tracked by the monitoring system to estimate movements of a motor vehicle sought to be covered by motor vehicle insurance, or driving patterns of the insured can be collected through a mobile application on the device itself Over time, these movements and patterns can be used to build a profile around the insured driver, allowing for identification and risk analytics for insurance purposes. Additionally, a movement signature can be created to identify data relating to a particular applicant.
  • the monitoring system can include a personal data unit, a communication unit, and an analysis unit.
  • the personal data unit can receive personal data about the insurance applicant, including a telephone number or other identifier of a mobile communication device used by the insurance applicant.
  • the communication unit can receive driving characteristic data related to the mobile communication device, where the location data describes various locations of the mobile communication device over time and movement data describes location agnostic movements of a motor vehicle in which the mobile device is situated during driving. This movement data includes, but is not limited to, speed, acceleration, turning, and braking.
  • the communication unit can periodically contact the mobile communication device itself to receive periodic driving characteristic updates as collected by the device and any relevant applications installed on the device.
  • the communication unit can receive historical location data from a data center, such as a mobile service provider, associated with the mobile communication device.
  • the analysis unit can analyze the location and movement data to determine movements of the mobile communication device and, thus, a pattern of usage of a motor vehicle used by the insurance applicant. Analysis of the driving characteristic data can then be used by an insurance provider to determine a level of risk for insuring the entity as well as to identify an entity through a driver signature comprised of aggregated movement data. This signature helps to ensure that risk models based on the monitoring systems analyses are applied to the appropriate, relevant entity

  • Fig. 2 illustrates a flow diagram of a method of utilizing the monitoring system, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
  • the invention is described in the context of being a monitoring system for tracking the location and driving movements of insurance applicants, so as to determine vehicle usage patterns for the insurance applicants, thereby enabling an insurance provider to effectively assess insurance risks.
  • Embodiments of the invention are not limited to this context. Rather, embodiments of the invention can be used to monitor various individuals in various circumstances where accurate data about the individuals' movements would be useful, including an application on the device that collects driving behavior over time in order to build movement signatures around specific individual drivers.

  • the personal data unit 110 can receive personal data 15 about the insurance applicant 10.
  • the received personal data 15 can be provided directly by the applicant 10 to the insurance provider 20 or can be provided by third party sources, such as by a motor vehicle administration or through other publicly available records.
  • the personal data 15 can include various personal information about the insurance applicant 10, including for example, name, address, phone number, marital status, age, and date of birth.
  • the personal data 15 can also include information about the applicant's activities and about motor vehicles operated by the applicant 10, such as, for example, driving record, registration tag number, vehicle identification number, vehicle garaging location, distance between home and office, and approximate miles driven per year.
  • an insurance provider 20 would decide whether to offer insurance to the applicant 10 and would determine an insurance premium based on this personal data 15 alone.
  • conventional systems fail to verify this personal data 15 and thus inaccurately estimate the risk of insuring some applicants 10.
  • the monitoring system 100 can approximate a pattern of vehicle usage, which can be used by insurance providers to verify the personal data 15 for purposes of identifying applicants as they drive and more accurately assess the potential risk of insuring the applicant 10.
  • the personal data 15 can include contact or identification information of a mobile communication device 50 associated with the insurance applicant 10.

  • the movement monitoring application 65 can be resident on the mobile communication device 50 and can be configured to be executed by the processor of the mobile communication device 50.
  • Those of skill in the art will appreciate that various hardware and software configurations can be implemented on the mobile communication device 50 to configure the operation of the movement monitoring application 65, such as utilizing the existing hardware components of the mobile communication device 50 or relying upon additional hardware components to be added to the mobile communication device 50.
  • the movement monitoring application 65 can rely upon an accelerator in the mobile communication device 50 to monitor and collect data regarding the movement of the mobile communication device 50. Additionally, an exemplary embodiment of the movement monitoring application 65 can rely upon data received from a Global Position System (“GPS") chip in the mobile communication device 50 to monitor and collect data regarding the location and movement of the mobile communication device 50. In a further exemplary embodiment, the movement monitoring application 65 can rely upon data from both an accelerometer and a GPS chip to monitor and collect data regarding the location and movement of the mobile communication device 50.
  • GPS Global Position System
  • the monitoring system can analyze and aggregate driving characteristic data 55 over time and create a movement signature relating to the an individual applicant's 10 driving characteristics.
  • This movement signature can be associated with a particular individual applicant 10; thus, the movement signature can be used by an exemplary embodiment of the monitoring system 100 to help identify when a particular insurance applicant 10 is most likely directing motor vehicle movements.
  • the analysis unit 130 analyzed the data transmitted by the mobile communication device 50 to determine a movement signature. Therefore, in an exemplary embodiment of the monitoring system 100, the movement signature generated by the analysis unit 130 of monitoring system 100 can be used to determine whether the data sent by the mobile communication device 50 actually relates to the driving characteristics of the insurance application of interest.

  • the analysis unit 130 of the monitoring system 100 can rely upon a stored movement signature to identify whether driving characteristic data 55 received from a mobile communication device 50 is related to the actual driving of that applicant 10. For example, and not limitation, as described above, if the applicant 10 is riding as a passenger in a car with his wife driving but his mobile communication device 50 is actively sending driving characteristic data 55 to the monitoring system 100, the analysis unit 130 can be configured to eliminate this data regarding his wife's driving based upon a comparison to the movement signature of the applicant 10. Accordingly, the analysis unit 130 can utilize the movement signature as a type of data authentication mechanism to assist in verifying that the driving characteristic data 55 received from a mobile communication device 50 is relevant to the applicant's 10 driving and thus the applicant's 10 insurance risk level.

  • the analysis unit 130 can be configured to only utilize driving characteristic data 55 in the analysis of an applicant's 10 insurance risk level when the verification score for the driving characteristic data is above a predetermined threshold value. Therefore, the analysis unit 130 can be dynamically configured to disregard driving characteristic data 55 with a verification score below a predetermined threshold value desired for a particular analysis of an applicant's 10 insurance risk level.
  • the communication unit 120 can receive driving characteristic data 55 describing various locations of the mobile communication device 50.

  • the mobile communication device 50 need not actively contact the monitoring system 100, but can simply respond automatically to requests from the communication unit 120 as needed.
  • the mobile communication device 50 need not notify the applicant 10 of the requests, so the applicant 10 is not required to actively participate in the monitoring.
  • the communication unit 120 can periodically contact the mobile communication device 50, or a mobile network servicing the mobile communication device, with a request for the current location of the mobile communication device 50.

In response to the request, the mobile network or the mobile communication device 50 can transmit to the communication unit 120 the current location of the mobile communication device 50 or, if location information is not currently available, an error indicating the lack of availability.

  • the requests can be sent at predetermined intervals, such as every hour.
  • the intervals can be shifted and their durations modified as needed to fill any perceived gaps in a pattern of movement indicated by the driving characteristic data 55.

  • the driving characteristic data 55 can be gathered over a predetermined time period, such as a week, but this time period can be extended based on how often travel patterns are repeated. If patterns indicated by the driving characteristic data 55 are fairly regular, no additional monitoring after the predetermined period may be required. But if the patterns are not sufficiently regular, additional driving characteristic data 55 gathering can occur and can be scheduled based on perceived gaps in the patterns.

  • the analysis unit 130 can draw conclusions about possible modes of transportation; boundaries on when, how long, and how far the applicant 10 traveled; to what degree applicant 10 has sped, turned, and stopped in his or her movements; and what general routes were taken. For example, based one vehicle usage patterns for a monitored period, the analysis unit 130 can estimate miles driven during a longer period, such as during an entire year. The analysis unit can interpolate and extrapolate as needed, according to predetermined algorithms, to estimate vehicle usage information. The specific types of analysis performed by the analysis unit 130 can vary widely based on the policies of the insurance provider 20 and based on how the analysis results will be used by the insurance provider 20.
  • the analysis unit 130 can apply one or more algorithms in an attempt to correct errors in the driving characteristic data 55. Because the driving characteristic data 55 can be gathered directly or indirectly from a mobile network, the driving characteristic data 55 can inherently include errors derived from the mobile network's inability to precisely pinpoint the mobile communication device's location. As discussed above, the mobile network associated with the mobile communication device 50 can respond to location requests with location information for the mobile communication device 50, or a data center can provide historical location information that originated with a mobile network. More specifically, the mobile network can provide an approximate latitude and longitude of the mobile communication device 50, as well as an identification of the mobile tower, or cellular tower or other connection center, to which the mobile communication device 50 is currently connected.
  • the reported latitude and longitude are generally imprecise, and the actual location of the mobile communication device 50 can be anywhere within the range of the mobile tower to which the mobile communication device 50 is connected.
  • the range of each mobile tower can be known to the monitoring system and used for analysis. Accordingly, the below algorithms, which are provided herein for example only, can be used by the analysis unit 130 to approximate the location of the mobile communication device 50 given the imprecise location information received from the mobile network.
  • the analysis unit 130 assumes that the position of the mobile communication device 50 is at the location of the mobile tower. Of course, this is an approximation, because the mobile communication device 50 may be located at any point within the entire range of the mobile tower and need not be located at the location of the mobile tower itself.
  • the analysis unit 130 every time the mobile network reports that the mobile communication device 50 has switched towers, the analysis unit 130 can assume that the mobile communication device 50 has moved.
  • the "location” algorithm assumes that the mobile communication device 50 remains stationary, unless the reported location information directly contradicts this assumption. For example, suppose that Ping N is a ping that must indicate a movement from a previous location. Accordingly, the location algorithm assumes that the mobile communication device 50 just became stationary at the position (X,V)N located within the range of tower T N , which are the position and tower reported in the response to Ping N. For each future Ping M before the next movement of the mobile communication device 50 is recognized, the location information reported by the future Ping M, where the range of the tower reported overlaps with the range of TN and also overlaps with the ranges of all other towers reported in the pings occurring between N and M, is interpreted as non-movement.
  • a movement of the mobile communication device 50 is recognized only when the reported location information must suggest a movement. If it is possible that the mobile communication device 50 remains stationary in light of a set of continuous location reports, which provide towers with overlapping ranges, then the location algorithm interprets the mobile communication device 50 as being stationary.
  • the above-described point algorithm may be best suited for insurance applicants known to travel relatively short distances, because the point algorithm favors a conclusion of movement as opposed to non-movement.
  • the location algorithm may be best suited for insurance applicants know to travel relatively long distances, because the location algorithm favors a conclusion of non-movement.
  • the terms "long distance” and "short distance” are relative and depend on the concentration of mobile towers that are used by the mobile network to detect the location of the mobile communication device. More specifically, a "long” distance generally spans a greater number of towers than a "short” distance.
  • One of skill in the art will recognize that the above algorithms are examples that are presented only for illustrative purposes. Other algorithms can be substituted or combined with the above algorithms in various embodiments of the monitoring system 100 These could include more granular movement data beyond location and mileage as well as estmiating movement signatures for applicants 10 based upon the aggregate of driving characteristic data 55 collected over time.
  • the analysis unit 130 can determine one or more patterns or facts about the applicant's movements based on the driving characteristic data 55. For example, and not limitation, the analysis unit 130 can determine the mobile communication device's, and thus the applicant's, current and past modes of transportation by determining an approximate velocity of the mobile communication device 50 when using an appropriate sampling frequency. If the driving characteristic data 55 suggests a speed of 55 miles per hour over a time period of two hours sampled every half an hour, for example, the analysis unit 130 can determine that the applicant 10 is in a car or other automobile. Alternatively, for another example, if the driving characteristic data 55 suggests a speed of 350 miles per hours, the analysis unit can determine that the applicant 10 is in an airplane.
  • Some embodiments of the analysis unit 130 instead of determining a specific mode of transportation, can simply determine whether or not the driving characteristic data 55 indicates that the applicant 10 is in the type of motor vehicle for which insurance is sought. Thus, if boat insurance is sought, the analysis unit 130 can determine whether various driving characteristic data 55 points correspond to the applicant' s being in a boat, and is automobile insurance is sought, the analysis unit 130 can determine whether data points correspond to the applicant's being in an automobile. The analysis unit 130 can also determine, for example, an automobile's garaging location or miles driven.
  • the analysis unit 130 can place each applicant 10 in one or more categories that describe the applicant's vehicle usage. For example, and not limitation, each of a first set of categories can be defined by a range of estimated miles driven per year. Based on the driving characteristic data 55, the applicant 10 can be placed into one of these miles-driven categories. Categorization can be based on more than just the driving characteristic data 55, however. For example, a risk category can be determined for an applicant 10 based on a combination of the garaging location and estimated annual miles driven, both determinable from the driving characteristic data 55, along with one or more aspects of the personal data 15, such as the applicant's age and driving history. Additionally, more granular driving movements relevant to risk analytics, such as speed and abruptness of turning and stopping, can be processed through analysis unit 130. The analysis unit's categorization of the applicant 10 can determine, or can be considered in determining, the applicant's insurance premium.
