    Abstract: The following relates generally to improving chimney safety through monitoring and detection of overheat conditions or animal intrusion that may damage a chimney or result in uncontrolled fire spreading outside the chimney. To improve chimney safety, a system may use temperature levels, sound signals, and/or imagery data to determine an overheat condition in a chimney. Upon determination of an overheat condition, the system may send an alert to a mobile device of a user or take other action (e.g., shutting off gas to a firebox, alerting the fire department, etc.). Similarly, sound signals and/or imagery data may be used to determine the presence of: (i) animals within or near the chimney, and/or (ii) water in the chimney box (e.g., water on a wall of the chimney box, or dripping to the bottom of the chimney box).

    Abstract: The following relates generally to providing a virtual insurance kiosk within a virtual environment. In some embodiments, an insurance server receives authentication credentials of a user device attempting to interact with the virtual insurance kiosk. The insurance server may authenticate the user device and establish a secure connection to the user device. The insurance server may then provide an insurance service to the user device. The following also relates generally to providing a secure virtual mall within a virtual environment. In some embodiments, a mall server receives authentication credentials from a user device and/or a vender server. The mall server may then authenticate the user to establish secure connection(s) to the user device and/or vender server. The mall server may process transactions between the user device and vender server, such as by underwriting insurance products related to the transactions.
