Abstract

Signals-based data syndication and collaboration is disclosed. A data store of insurance related data collected from a plurality of carriers is accessed. A pattern is identified based at least in part on data stored in the data store. The pattern is associated with a first set of insurance related data belonging to a first carrier and with a second set of insurance related data belonging to a second carrier. First and second users associated with the first and second carriers are notified, respectively, of the identified pattern. Consent from the first user to share at least a portion of the first set of insurance related data and consent from the second user to share at least a portion of the second set of insurance related data are obtained. At least a portion of the second set of insurance related data that the second user has consented to share is caused to be presented to the first user. At least a portion of the first set of insurance related data that the first user has consented to share is caused to be presented to the second user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A system, comprising:
a processor configured to:
collect insurance related data from a plurality of carriers, wherein the collecting comprises initiating communication with an on-premise installation associated with a carrier based at least in part on a timer as part of a batch process;
access a data store including the insurance related data collected from the plurality of carriers;
based at least in part on an analysis performed across the insurance related data collected from the plurality of carriers, identify a pattern that is present in both a first set of insurance related data belonging to a first carrier and a second set of insurance related data belonging to a second carrier notify first and second users associated with the first and second carriers, respectively, of the identified pattern;
obtain consent from the first user to share at least a portion of the first set of insurance related data and consent from the second user to share at least a portion of the second set of insurance related data;
cause to be presented to the first user at least the portion of the second set of insurance related data that the second user has consented to share, wherein an identity of the second user is withheld from the first user; and
cause to be presented to the second user at least the portion of the first set of insurance related data that the first user has consented to share, wherein an identity of the first user is withheld from the second user; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.

2 . The system recited in claim 1 wherein notifying the first and second users includes making requests to the first and second users to share data pertaining to the pattern.

3 . The system recited in claim 1 wherein the first user is presented data in the first set of insurance related data belonging to the first carrier that is relevant to the identified pattern.

4 . The system recited in claim 3 wherein the processor is further configured to receive a selection of at least some of the presented data.

5 . The system recited in claim 4 wherein the selection includes an indication of data that is sharable.

6 . The system recited in claim 4 wherein the selection includes an indication of data that is not sharable.

7 . The system recited in claim 6 wherein the processor is further configured to shield data portions indicated to be non-sharable from being displayed to the second user.

8 . The system recited in claim 1 wherein the pattern is assigned a score indicating a strength of the pattern.

9 . The system recited in claim 8 wherein consent is automatically granted based at least in part on a comparison of the score against a threshold.

10 . The system recited in claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to obtain validation of the pattern.

11 . A method, comprising:
collecting insurance related data from a plurality of carriers, wherein the collecting comprises initiating communication with an on-premise installation associated with a carrier based at least in part on a timer as part of a batch process; accessing a data store including the insurance related data collected from the plurality of carriers; based at least in part on an analysis performed across the insurance related data collected from the plurality of carriers, identifying a pattern that is present in both a first set of insurance related data belonging to a first carrier and a second set of insurance related data belonging to a second carrier; notifying first and second users associated with the first and second carriers, respectively, of the identified pattern; obtaining consent from the first user to share at least a portion of the first set of insurance related data and consent from the second user to share at least a portion of the second set of insurance related data; causing to be presented to the first user at least the portion of the second set of insurance related data that the second user has consented to share, wherein an identity of the second user is withheld from the first user; and causing to be presented to the second user at least the portion of the first set of insurance related data that the first user has consented to share, wherein an identity of the first user is withheld from the second user.

12 . The method of claim 11 wherein notifying the first and second users includes making requests to the first and second users to share data pertaining to the pattern.

13 . The method of claim 11 wherein the first user is presented data in the first set of insurance related data belonging to the first carrier that is relevant to the identified pattern.

14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising receiving a selection of at least some of the presented data.

15 . The method of claim 14 wherein the selection includes an indication of data that is sharable.

16 . The method of claim 14 wherein the selection includes an indication of data that is not sharable.

17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising shielding data portions indicated to be non-sharable from being displayed to the second user.

18 . The method of claim 11 wherein the pattern is assigned a score indicating a strength of the pattern.

19 . The method of claim 18 wherein consent is automatically granted based at least in part on a comparison of the score against a threshold.

20 . A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
collecting insurance related data from a plurality of carriers, wherein the collecting comprises initiating communication with an on-premise installation associated with a carrier based at least in part on a timer as part of a batch process; accessing a data store including the insurance related data collected from the plurality of carriers; based at least in part on an analysis performed across the insurance related data collected from the plurality of carriers, identifying a pattern that is present in both a first set of insurance related data belonging to a first carrier and a second set of insurance related data belonging to a second carrier; notifying first and second users associated with the first and second carriers, respectively, of the identified pattern; obtaining consent from the first user to share at least a portion of the first set of insurance related data and consent from the second user to share at least a portion of the second set of insurance related data; causing to be presented to the first user at least the portion of the second set of insurance related data that the second user has consented to share, wherein an identity of the second user is to withheld from the first user; and causing to be presented to the second user at least the portion of the first set of insurance related data that the first user has consented to share, wherein an identity of the first user is withheld from the second user.
