Abstract: The present embodiments relate to systems and methods for using a blockchain that tracks vehicle lifecycles by Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or other vehicle identifier to determine whether a vehicle is over or under financed. A mileage report and VIN is received and a transaction is broadcast to the blockchain tracking. An actual cash value (ACV) of the vehicle is then determined using the mileage report and/or other information stored in the shared ledger including a loan payoff value, financing value, etc. regarding the vehicle and searchable according to VIN. It is then determined whether the vehicle is over-financed or under-financed by comparing to loan payoff value with the ACV.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed with respect to using a blockchain for managing the subrogation claim process related to a vehicle collision, in particular, utilizing evidence oracles as part of the subrogation process. An exemplary embodiment includes receiving recorded data from one or more connected devices at a geographic location; analyzing the recorded data, wherein analyzing the recorded data includes determining that an collision has occurred involving one or more vehicles; generating a transaction including the data indicative of the collision based upon the analysis; and transmitting the transaction to at least one other participant in the distributed ledger network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for using a blockchain to maintain a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for a vehicle over the course of the vehicle lifecycle. For example, a computer-implemented method tracks a vehicle identifier on a blockchain maintained by a plurality of participants. The method may include (1) receiving, at a processor coupled with a network interface, a vehicle identifier notification from a participant; (2) accessing, at a memory coupled with a processor, the blockchain using the vehicle identifier notification; (3) updating, at the memory, a block stored at the memory using the vehicle identifier notification; and (4) transmitting, via the processor coupled with the network interface, the block to at least one other participant to facilitate maintaining the blockchain up-to-date.

Abstract: The present embodiments relate to systems and methods for using a blockchain to record information related to processes and services in the vehicle industry. The systems and methods may include (1) receiving an insurance claim from a first participant, the insurance claim indicating that an insured asset has suffered a loss or been involved with an insurance-related event causing damage to the insured asset; (2) accessing, at a memory, the loss history blockchain using the identifier; (3) updating, at the memory, a block stored at the memory to associate the insurance claim with the individual or insured asset; and/or (4) transmitting the block to at least one other participant to facilitate maintaining the loss history blockchain related to the individual or the insured asset up-to-date.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed with respect to using a distributed ledger, such as a blockchain, for managing claim payment activity. In particular, the distributed ledger may be utilized to track the status of a claim and to track payment activity associated with the claim. For example, the distributed ledger may be utilized to track estimates, offers, settlements, and payouts relating to insurance claims relating to injuries, property damage, (e.g., to homes, automobile, personal articles, or other insured assets), and other expenses (e.g., payments to vendors such as car repair shops, car rental companies, cleaning companies, contractors, etc.).

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing and/or processing a blockchain to maintain data security for confidential and/or personal data are provided. According to certain aspects, the disclosed data security techniques may enable access sharing functionality utilizing the blockchain. For example, access sharing may be utilized to share access to audit data. The policy information may be associated with a smart contract. Accordingly, the audit data may be encrypted using a public key for the smart contract and compiled into a block of the blockchain. In response to a request to provide access to the audit data to a particular node, the private key for the smart contract may be encrypted using the public key for the particular node and compiled into a block of the blockchain.

Abstract: The present methods and systems relate to using and accessing associate information for a company stored in a blockchain. The methods and systems include (1) receiving at least one associate request, the associate request having an associate request type, from at least one participant of the plurality of participants for information on an associate stored on the blockchain; (2) verifying the associate request based upon the associate request type; (3) verifying that, or otherwise determining whether or not, the associate information is stored on the blockchain; (4) when the associate information is stored on the blockchain, generating a transaction corresponding to the associate request type, or alternatively, when the associate information is not stored on the blockchain, generating a transaction involving the at least one associate request; and (5) transmitting the transaction to the plurality of participants, such as to facilitate maintaining a blockchain up-to-date.

Abstract: Methods and systems for determining a cause of loss to a property for damage associated with an insurance-related event based upon data received from a second property. A smart home (or other building) controller and/or an insurance provider remote processor may generate a time sequence of events for damage associated with an insure-related event. The smart home controller or remote processor may also receive a time-sequence of events generated by a smart home controller associated with a second property. The smart home controller or remote processor may compare the two time-sequences of events to determine causes of loss associated with damage to the property. The compared data may be further used to assign a portion of the overall damage to each cause of loss. Subsequently, the smart home controller or remote processor may automatically generate an insurance claim for damage to the property associated with the insurance-related event.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating vehicle crash data is presented. The method may include determining whether sensor data output of a sensor of a mobile computing device within a vehicle indicates that a crash of a vehicle has occurred. The method may further include displaying a notification prompting a user of the mobile computing device to confirm that the crash of the vehicle has occurred and receiving an indication from the user that the crash of the vehicle has occurred. Still further, the method may include transmitting the sensor data output to a remote computing device and receiving a communication from the remote computing device, wherein the communication prompts the user to take a post-crash action.
