Application: Systems and methods for light detection and ranging (LIDAR) based generation of a homeowners insurance quote (Patent ID: US20230274367A1)

State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. has filed a patent related to using light detection and ranging (LIDAR) data to generate homeowners insurance quotes. The system receives LIDAR data from one or more LIDAR cameras and analyzes it to determine features or characteristics of a home. Based on this analysis, an electronic homeowners insurance quote is generated. The method involves displaying instructions to a customer on how to install LIDAR cameras, providing an insurance discount to the customer after installation, generating LIDAR data, receiving the LIDAR data, analyzing it to identify personal articles or insurable assets, creating an electronic inventory list of personal belongings, and generating an electronic personal articles insurance quote based on the identified assets.

The patent also includes claims for transmitting the insurance quote to the customer's mobile device for review, modification, and approval. The LIDAR cameras can be positioned within the customer's home. The method further involves transmitting the electronic inventory list to the customer's mobile device for review, modification, and approval. The additional sources of data for generating the inventory list include mobile device data and/or images, smart home sensor data and/or images, drone sensor data and/or images, vehicle sensor data and/or images, and smart infrastructure data and/or images. The inventory list can include vehicles, electronic devices, televisions, furniture, and paintings. The LIDAR data can be received via wireless communication or data transmission over radio frequency links.

The patent also describes a computer system configured to generate the electronic personal articles insurance quote. The system includes processors, transceivers, sensors, and/or servers that display instructions to the customer, provide an insurance discount after camera installation, generate LIDAR data, receive the LIDAR data, analyze it to identify personal articles or insurable assets, create an electronic inventory list, and generate the insurance quote. The system can transmit the quote to the customer's mobile device for review, modification, and approval. The LIDAR cameras can be installed in the customer's home, and the additional sources of data for the inventory list include mobile device data and/or images, smart home sensor data and/or images, drone sensor data and/or images, vehicle sensor data and/or images, and smart infrastructure data and/or images.

In summary, State Farm's patent involves using LIDAR data from cameras to analyze and determine features of a home, generate an inventory list of personal belongings, and generate an insurance quote based on the identified assets. The system can transmit the quote to the customer's mobile device for review and approval.
