Abstract
A system for automated house damage detection and reporting may comprise at least one subsystem configured for receiving a damage detection signal detecting potential damage to a building from at least one sensor operably connected to the building, and at least one subsystem configured for automatically communicating damage detection data using the received damage detection signal to a remote system outside the building for further analysis.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that are executed by a processor to:
- receive, at a remote system, a signal indicating potential damage to a structure, wherein the signal is transmitted from a sensor operably coupled to the structure;
- analyze the signal;
- and
- determine whether to initiate an insurance claim process in response to the analysis of the signal.
A method for detecting potential damage to a structure, comprising:
- receiving a signal from a sensor operably connected to a roof indicating an impact to the root
- analyzing the signal and a weather condition local to the sensor;
- and
- determining whether to initiate an insurance claim process based on the analysis of the signal and the weather condition local to the sensor.
A system for detecting potential damage to a structure, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory storing computer-readable instructions for detecting damage to a structure, the computer-readable instructions executable by the processor to:
- receive a signal from a sensor operably coupled to a structure, wherein the signal indicates a location of the sensor and includes data associated with potential damage to the structure detected by the sensor;
- determine a type of potential damage to the structure based on the data and the location of the sensor;
- and
- determine whether to initiate an insurance claim process in response to the determination of the type of potential damage to the structure detected by the sensor and the location of the sensor.
