System and method for automated linking of vehicle repair estimate record and vehicle diagnostic records

One or more non-transitory machine-readable storage media encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations for automated generation of a vehicle repair estimate record using a vehicle damage claim and vehicle diagnostic records, the operations comprising:

• obtain, from a database, an electronic claim record stored in the database and comprising claim data for a vehicle, wherein the claim data describes a vehicle and damage to the vehicle;
• obtain, from the database, a plurality of electronic vehicle diagnostic records stored in the database, wherein each electronic vehicle diagnostic record includes vehicle data obtained electronically from the vehicle during a respective electronic vehicle diagnostic event, wherein the plurality of electronic vehicle diagnostic records comprises one or more electronic vehicle diagnostic records corresponding to the obtained claim data and one or more electronic vehicle diagnostic records not corresponding to the obtained claim data;
• applying the obtained plurality of electronic vehicle diagnostic records and the obtained claim data as an inference input to a trained machine learning model, wherein the trained machine learning model has been trained with historical examples of the electronic vehicle diagnostic records and corresponding historical claim data;
• filter the one or more electronic vehicle diagnostic records corresponding to the obtained claims data using the trained machine learning model, wherein filtering the one or more electronic vehicle diagnostic records corresponding to the obtained claim data comprises selecting the one or more electronic vehicle diagnostic records corresponding to the obtained claim data from the obtained plurality of electronic vehicle diagnostic records based on the obtained claim data;
• obtain, from the database, a vehicle repair estimate data structure stored in the database and having a plurality of fields;
• populate the fields of the vehicle repair estimate data structure with at least one of the claim data and the vehicle data from the selected one or more electronic vehicle diagnostic records corresponding to the obtained claim data;
• and
• generate a user interface for presentation to a user on a user device, wherein the user interface includes display elements that represent the populated fields of the generated vehicle repair estimate data structure.

A computer-implemented method for automated generation of a vehicle repair estimate record using a vehicle damage claim and vehicle diagnostic records, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• an electronic claim record stored in a database and comprising claim data for a vehicle, wherein the claim data describes a vehicle and damage to the vehicle;
• obtaining, from the database, a plurality of electronic vehicle diagnostic records stored in the database, wherein each electronic vehicle diagnostic record includes vehicle data obtained electronically from the vehicle during a respective electronic vehicle diagnostic event, wherein the plurality of electronic vehicle diagnostic records comprises one or more electronic vehicle diagnostic records corresponding to the obtained claim data and one or more electronic vehicle diagnostic records not corresponding to the obtained claim data;
• applying the obtained plurality of electronic vehicle diagnostic records and the obtained claim data as an inference input to a trained machine learning model, wherein the trained machine learning model has been trained with historical examples of the electronic vehicle diagnostic records and corresponding historical claim data;
• filtering the one or more electronic vehicle diagnostic records corresponding to the obtained claims data using the trained machine learning model, wherein filtering the one or more electronic vehicle diagnostic records corresponding to the obtained claim data comprises selecting the one or more electronic vehicle diagnostic records corresponding to the obtained claim data from the obtained plurality of electronic vehicle diagnostic records based on the obtained claim data;
• obtaining, from the database, a vehicle repair estimate data structure stored in the database and having a plurality of fields;
• populating the fields of the vehicle repair estimate data structure with at least one of the claim data and the vehicle data from the selected one or more electronic vehicle diagnostic records corresponding to the obtained claim data;
• and
• generating a user interface for presentation to a user on a user device, wherein the user interface includes display elements that represent the populated fields of the generated vehicle repair estimate data structure.
