Abstract

Methods, computer-readable media, systems and apparatuses for generation of a custom user interface for various categories of users and home maintenance, finance, and insurance monitoring are provided. The systems may receive data associated with a home, such as a plurality of systems and/or devices associated with the home. Based on the received information, the systems may generate a maintenance task list for the home including a plurality of maintenance tasks, finance task lists, and/or insurance task lists. Data related to maintenance performed on the home may be received and, based on the received maintenance data, a determination may be made as to whether one or more tasks on the maintenance task list have been completed.

1. A home services system server, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the home services system server to:
receive status information of a user wherein the status information comprises at least one or more of marital status, military status, age status, medical status, retirement status, and offspring status;
identify at least one pre-defined category based on status information;
create a custom user interface based on the status of the user and the at least one pre-defined category for communication with the user to input information, wherein the custom user interface displays questions based on the status and at least one pre-defined category;
receive first data obtained from the user through the custom user interface;
receive second data associated with the home including information associated with at least one of an evaluation of the home, financial information of the user, and insurance information of the user;
based on the received first data and the received second data, generate a template of items associated with the user to be monitored or performed, wherein the template of items associated with the user to be monitored or performed includes:
a custom maintenance task list for the home, the maintenance task list including a plurality of maintenance tasks to be performed on the home, and

at least one of the following:
a custom financial task list for the user, the financial task list including a plurality of financial tasks to be accomplished, and
a custom insurance task list for the user, the insurance task list including a plurality of insurance tasks to be purchased; and

transmit the template of items to the user or third party associate with the user of the home.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed, further cause the server to:
receive data associated with maintenance performed on the home, the data associated with the maintenance including data associated with one or more tasks on the maintenance task list;
determine, based on the received data associated with maintenance performed on the home, whether at least one task on the maintenance task list has been completed; and
responsive to determining that the at least one task has been completed, marking the task complete on the maintenance task list.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the received second data associated with an evaluation of the home further includes data received from sensors placed in the home.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the received second data associated with an evaluation of the home further includes data received from an insurance provider and associated with structure of the home.

5. The system of claim 2 , wherein the received second data associated with an evaluation of the home further includes publicly available information associated with the location in which the home is located.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed, further cause the server to:
receive data associated with one or more tasks on the financial task list;
determine, based on the received data whether at least one task on the financial task list has been completed;
responsive to determining that the at least one task has been completed, marking the task complete on the financial task list.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed, further cause the server to:
receive data associated with one or more tasks on the insurance task list;
determine, based on the received data whether at least one task on the insurance task list has been completed;
responsive to determining that the at least one task has been completed, marking the task complete on the insurance task list.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed, further cause the server to generate a custom appliance or equipment list for the home for replacement or upgrades.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein the computer readable instructions, when executed, further cause the server to generate a custom service provider list.

10. A method comprising:
receiving, by a home services system server, status information of a user, wherein the status information comprises at least one or more of marital status, military status, age status, medical status, retirement status, and offspring status;
determining, by the server, a category of user based on status information;
creating a custom user interface based on the category of the user, for communication with the user to input information, wherein the custom user interface displays questions based on the category and status information;
receiving first data associated obtained from the user through the custom user interface;
receiving second data associated with the home including information associated with an evaluation of the home;
generating, based on the received first data and the received second data, a template of items associated with the structure of the home to be monitored or performed, wherein the template of items associated with the structure to be monitored or performed include:
a custom maintenance task list for the home, the maintenance task list including a plurality of maintenance tasks to be performed on the home, and

marking the task complete on the maintenance task list in response to determining that the at least one task has been completed.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the received second data associated with an evaluation of the home further includes data received from sensors placed in the home.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the received second data associated with an evaluation of the home further includes data received from an insurance provider and associated with the structure.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the received second data associated with an evaluation of the home further includes publicly available information associated with the location in which the structure is located.
