This may help a marketplace participant to improve its pricing mechanism and/or profitability.

[0089] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure generate, maintain, and update a score associated with each vehicle operator listed on the telematics-data- based marketplace using a residual model. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure train and/or configure the residual model to determine an initial score for each vehicle operator based at least in part upon the telematics data collected prior to the listing of the vehicle operator onto the marketplace. In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure train and/or configure the residual model to further determine an updated score based at least in part upon the initial score and newly collected telematics data collected during one or more recent trips operated by the vehicle operator. In some examples, the residual model is trained, configured, maintained, and/or updated by one or more marketplace participants and/or by one or more marketplace non-participants, such as by a neutral entity providing the tel emati c s-data-b ased marketpl ace .

[0090] In various examples, a universal predictive model may be insulated from marketplace participants such that formulas, weights, biases, and parameters are all determined and maintained by a neutral party and not by marketplace participant. Such universal predictive model may help maintain neutrality and avoid influence or control by the marketplace participants. In some examples, a universal predictive model is opaque to the marketplace participants such that the model functions similar to a black box in that the details of determinations and calculations are hidden to the marketplace participants. In various examples, the neutral party, such as a marketplace administrator, may modify and maintain the universal model according to marketplace participants’ needs, but such change may only be suggested and not required by the marketplace participants to help maintain a fair marketplace. In some examples, the systems and methods of the present disclosure identify one or more use-specific modifications, one or more market-specific modifications, one or more industry-specific modifications, and/or one or more participant-specific modifications, such as based on user- acquisition data indicative of the success rates of user acquisition by marketplace participants. A universal predictive model may also be referred to as a party-neutral predictive model.

[0091] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure generate one or more scores for each vehicle operator listed on the telematics-data-based marketplace based at least in part upon comparing the telematics data of the associated vehicle operator to the telematics data of one or more similar vehicle operators. In certain examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure train and/or configure the residual model to determine the initial score and/or the updated score based not only upon the telematics data of an associated vehicle operator, but also telematics data of a group of similar vehicle operators. For example, the residual model may be trained or configured to determine the initial score and/or the updated score as relative metric(s) indicative of relative operation performance(s) and/or characteristic(s) of a first vehicle operator in comparison to a group of similar vehicle operators. The relative metrics may be a ratio. As an example, a vehicle operator may be scored relative to its group of similar vehicle operators such that a predicted costs similar to that of the group of similar vehicle operators would result in a predicted relative costs close to unity. The group of similar vehicle operators may share similar geolocations, financial statuses, demographics, insurance providers, employers, and/or service providers. As an example, a first vehicle operator may drive similarly to a second vehicle operator but scored a higher score because the groups of similar vehicle operators to which the first and second vehicle operators are compared against exhibit different levels of driving characteristics. In various examples, a vehicle operator may be associated with multiple groups of similar vehicle operators and each relative metric may be determined relative to one or more of the multiple groups of similar vehicle operators. In certain examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may determine industry-specific, market-specific, use- specific, and/or relative metrics of a vehicle operator based on one or more groups of similar vehicle operators to which the vehicle operator is associated.

[0092] In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may determine the score for a vehicle operator based at least in part upon the associated telematics data and/or associated driving habits/pattems. For example, a better score may be determined for a vehicle operator who drives riskier but less frequent than other similar vehicle operators. In some examples, a better score may be determined for a first vehicle operator who has had more insurance claims than a second vehicle operator who has had no insurance claims, such as when the telematics data associated with the first vehicle operator indicate less risky driving behaviors when compared to the second vehicle operator. In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may determine the score for a vehicle operator based not only on claim history but also on sensor data that are indicative of the vehicle operator’s driving behaviors.

[0093] In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may determine a loss ratio as the score based at least in part upon a vehicle operator’s associated costs and policy premium paid throughout the policy term. In some examples, the loss ratio is presented to one or more marketplace participants, such as including the insurance company the vehicle operator has been insured with, to provide recommendation or guidance as to how to adjust pricing and/or policy to improve profitability of insuring this particular vehicle operator and/or others. As an example, a loss ratio that is less than 1 (e.g., 0.5) may prompt a marketplace participant to issue a premium discount to a vehicle operator, whereas a loss ratio that is more than 1 (e.g., 5) may prompt the marketplace participant to increase the policy premium. [0094] In certain examples, the residual model used to determine the loss ratio may be trained to predict a predicted loss ratio. For example, systems and methods of the present disclosure may train the residual model, which may be a machine learning model, using telematics data and historic loss ratios associated with a plurality of vehicle operators. The plurality of vehicle operators may have been insured by the same or different insurance companies. Once trained, systems and methods of the present disclosure may determine, using the trained residual model, a predicted loss ratio for a vehicle operator based on the associated telematics data collected even when historic profitability data (e.g., associated costs and policy premium paid over the past certain time period) are unavailable. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine the predicted profitability as a single metric to represent the desirability of a vehicle operator to a marketplace participant. The systems and methods of the present disclosure may configure and/or train the predictive model (e.g., a residual model) for determining the predicted profitability to consider telematics data, claim history, costs, premium payments, and/or additional user data.

[0095] In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may determine an incremental loss ratio as the score based at least in part upon a vehicle operator’s associated incremental costs and policy premium paid over the past certain time period (e.g., past season, past month, past week, or past day). In certain examples, incremental cost ratio may be determined by dividing the incremental costs incurred by premium payments received over the certain time period. In some examples, the incremental loss ratio is presented to one or more marketplace participants, such as including the insurance company the vehicle operator has been insured with, to provide recommendation or guidance as to how to adjust pricing and/or policy to improve profitability of insuring this particular vehicle operator and/or others. As an example, an incremental loss ratio that is less than 1 (e.g., 0.5) may prompt a marketplace participant to issue a premium discount to a vehicle operator, whereas an incremental loss ratio that is more than 1 (e.g., 5) may prompt the marketplace participant to increase the policy premium.

[0096] In certain examples, the residual model use to determine the incremental loss ratio may be trained to predict a predicted incremental loss ratio. For example, systems and methods of the present disclosure may train the residual model, which may be a machine learning model, using telematics data and historic incremental loss ratios associated with a plurality of vehicle operators. The plurality of vehicle operators may have been insured by the same or different insurance companies. Once trained, systems and methods of the present disclosure may determine, using the trained residual model, a predicted incremental loss ratio for a vehicle operator based on the associated telematics data collected even when historic profitability data (e.g., associated costs and policy premium paid over the past certain time period) are unavailable. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine the predicted profitability as a single metric to represent the desirability of a vehicle operator to a marketplace participant. The systems and methods of the present disclosure may configure and/or train the predictive model (e.g., a residual model) for determining the predicted incremental profitability to consider telematics data, claim history, costs, premium payments, and/or additional user data. [0097] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine and/or present, for each vehicle operator of a plurality of operators listed on a telematics-based marketplace, one or more price-adjusted metrics to a plurality of marketplace participants. In some examples, the one or more price-adjusted metrics may provide pricing guidance to the plurality of marketplace participants to achieve a target profitability. In certain examples, the one or more price-adjusted metrics include a price-adjusted risk threshold, a price-adjusted performance threshold, a price-adjusted mileage threshold, and/or a price-adjusted cost threshold. In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine the one or more price-adjusted metrics based at least in part upon the telematics data associated with the plurality of operators. In certain examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine the one or more price-adjusted metrics using one or more residual models configured and/or trained for determining residual risk, performance threshold, mileage threshold, cost threshold, price-adjusted residual risk, price-adjusted performance threshold, price-adjusted mileage threshold, and/or price-adjusted cost threshold.

[0098] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure configure and/or train one or more models to receive at least telematics data associated with a vehicle operator (e.g., collected via one or more software applications and/or hardware modules) as input and to generate a predicted cost associated with the vehicle operator. In some examples, the predicted cost includes predicted losses and predicted expenses over a predicted policy term (e.g., the time during which the vehicle operator is predicted to be a customer to a marketplace participant). In certain examples, the predicted losses are associated with one or more predicted claims that may occur during the predicted policy term. In some examples, the predicted losses include payouts for vehicle repairs, replacements, property damage payouts, and/or personal injury payouts. In various examples, the predicted expenses include costs of customer acquisition, costs of customer retention, telematics data collection costs, telematics data processing costs, costs of operation associated with the telematics-based marketplace, and/or costs of customer service. In some examples, the one or more models includes a loss model for determining predicted losses and an expense model for determining predicted expenses.

[0099] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure configure and/or train one or more models to receive at least incremental telematics data (e.g., telematics data collected over a certain time period) associated with a vehicle operator (e.g., collected via one or more software applications and/or hardware modules) as input and to generate an predicted incremental cost associated with the vehicle operator. In some examples, the predicted incremental costs includes predicted incremental losses and predicted incremental expenses over a pre-determined time period (e.g., a fixed time period during which the vehicle operator is predicted to be a customer to a marketplace participant). In certain examples, the predicted incremental losses are associated with one or more predicted claims that may occur during the pre-determined time period. In some examples, the predicted incremental losses include payouts for vehicle repairs, replacements, property damage payouts, and/or personal injury payouts. In various examples, the predicted incremental expenses include costs of customer acquisition, costs of customer retention, telematics data collection costs, telematics data processing costs, costs of operation associated with the telematics-based marketplace, and/or costs of customer service. In some examples, the one or more models includes an incremental loss model for determining predicted incremental losses and an incremental expense model for determining predicted incremental expenses.

[00100] In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure collect, for each vehicle operator listed on the telematics-based marketplace, incremental telematics data, incremental costs, incremental expenses, and/or incremental losses. In certain examples, as more costs and/or expenses data are collected over an increasing length of periods of time for a plurality of vehicle operators, systems and methods of the present disclosure may configure and/or train the one or more models to predict one or more predicted trends, such as one or more predicted trends of one or more incremental metrics. In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine, for each vehicle operator listed on the telematics-based marketplace, a predicted profitability, based at least in part upon the predicted costs, a predicted risk, and/or a predicted retention period (e.g., how long a vehicle operator is predicted to remain a customer to a marketplace participant). In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine a predicted value associated with each vehicle operator based on the predicted profitability for an expected retention period.

[00101] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure train and/or configure a predictive model for generating, based at least in part upon incremental telematics data and/or incremental costs, a predicted value associated with each vehicle operator listed on the telematics-based marketplace. In some examples, the predicted value generated for and presented to each marketplace participant may be the same or different. For example, the predicted value may be generated using a universal model (e.g., with a set biases, set weights, and/or formulas), where the same predicted value would be presented to the plurality of marketplace participants. In another example, the predicted value may be generated, for each marketplace participant, using a different party-specific model or a different use-specific model, where different predicted values may be presented to the plurality of marketplace participants. [00102] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure may generate telematics inferences based at least in part upon telematics data using a universal predictive model, such as one generated and maintained by the marketplace administrators.

[00103] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure track, monitor, and/or determine, for each vehicle operator of a plurality of vehicle operators, an incremental profitability, an overall profitability, a predicted incremental profitability, and/or predicted overall profitability. For example, systems and methods of the present disclosure collect, such as continually, continuously, on set time points or periods, in real-time or in near real-time, telematics data and/or additional operator data (e.g., financial data, lifestyle data, social data, and/or online activity data) corresponding to one or more vehicle operators. The systems and methods of the present disclosure further generate, for each vehicle operator using one or more predictive models and the collected telematics data and/or additional operator data, incremental profitability and/or overall profitability. The incremental profitability may be an actual profitability and may be determined by subtracting value received over a time period by costs incurred during the time period and dividing the sum by the duration of the time period. [00104] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a feedback associated with one or more vehicle operators to one or more marketplace participants. The one or more vehicle operators may be customers, clients, and/or users (e.g., trial users, subscribers, standard users, premium users) of the one or more marketplace participants. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may collect telematics data and/or additional operator data (e.g., financial data, lifestyle data, social data, and/or online activity data) at least from the one or more marketplace participants. The systems and methods of the present disclosure may further generate one or more desirability indices indicative of desirability of the one or more vehicle operators to the one or more marketplace participants.

The one or more desirability indices may include an incremental profitability, an overall profitability, a predicted incremental profitability, and/or predicted overall profitability.

[00105] In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may generate, such as based on telematics data available on the telematics-data-based marketplace, an initial predicted profitability when a vehicle operator first become a user of a marketplace participant. After becoming a user, systems and methods of the present disclosure may further generate a first subsequent profitability metric based at least in part upon telematics data collected during a first time period. After the first time period, systems and methods of the present disclosure may further generate a second subsequent profitability metric based at least in part upon telematics data collected during a second time period. In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may determine, based on the subsequent profitability metrics, a match feedback (e.g., a score and/or trend) indicative of whether the vehicle operator matches, outperforms, or underperforms the initial predicted profitability.

[00106] In certain examples, for the initial time periods (e.g., days or weeks since a vehicle operator become a user of a marketplace participant), the match feedback is more likely to be “match” since telematics data in the early periods should not deviate much from telematics data available on the marketplace as they are more closely related. In contrast, for later time periods (e.g., months or years since a vehicle operator become a user of a marketplace participant), the match feedback is less likely to be “match” because the vehicle operator’s operation habits may have evolved and would be manifested in a change in telematics data when compared to the early periods. In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure may present, such as continually and/or every time a new match feedback is generated, the match feedback to the marketplace participant such that the marketplace participant may evaluate whether the vehicle operator is and/or will be a desirable (e.g., profitable) user. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may train one or more predictive models for generating profitability metrics (e.g., including cost metrics) based at least in part upon the match feedback. [00107] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine one or more user-management metrices indicative associated with a vehicle operator who’s a user of a marketplace participant. In certain examples, the one or more user-management metrices include actual costs of acquisition, actual costs of risk events, actual customer service expenses, actual costs of retention, probability of conversion at time of acquisition, probability of retention, probability of risk events, predicted costs of risk events, predicted customer service expenses, and/or predicted costs of retention. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine one or more user-management metrices for each vehicle operator of a plurality of vehicle operators on the telematics-data-based marketplace and use said data to train one or more predictive models. In certain examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may determine to the marketplace participant one or more predicted user-management metrices associated with a prospective user of the marketplace participant. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may present the one or more predicted user- management metrices to aid the marketplace participant to weigh the profitability of a vehicle operator against the associated costs and likelihood of conversion. In certain examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may determine a cost-benefit score associated with each vehicle operator to a marketplace participant who’s looking to acquire a user. In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine a retention recommendation based at least in part upon expected profitability of an associated vehicle operator.

[00108] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine and present, such as for each vehicle operator on the telematics-data-based marketplace, a metric of expected profits and a metric of expected costs. In some examples, the metric of expected profits and metric of expected costs together are indicative of the potential value of a potential user or of a current user to one or more marketplace participant. In certain examples, the metric of expected profits and/or metric of expected costs are calculated individually for each marketplace participant, such as using party-specific algorithms and/or use-specific algorithms.

In various examples, the systems and methods of the present disclosure may provide guidance to marketplace participants in modifying one or more predictive models for generating profitability and associated metrics, one or more models of user acquisition, one or more models of user retention, and/or one or more methods of collecting data associated with vehicle operators. [00109] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure present the metric of expected profits and/or metric of expected costs to all marketplace participants or to those who have requested such information. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure present the metric of expected profits and/or metric of expected costs to only selected authenticated marketplace participants for the associated vehicle operators. In certain examples, the selected authenticated marketplace participants may be granted an access key associated with a selection of vehicle operators that enables access to some or all of determined metrics of expected profits and/or metrics of expected costs. In various examples, such access key may be termed, may be renewed, may be terminated, such as at the discretion of an originating marketplace participant (to whom the vehicle operator is a user of), the vehicle operator, a marketplace administrator, or a third-party. In certain examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure train a predictive model for generating a metric of expected profits for a prospective user based at least in part upon a plurality of metrics of actual profits associated with a plurality of past or current users. In certain examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure train a predictive model for generating a metric of expected costs for a prospective user based at least in part upon a plurality of metrics of actual costs associated with a plurality of past or current users. In some examples, the predictive models may include machine learning models, such as neural networks or a combination of machine learning models.

[00110] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure generate and/or provide one or more marketplace scores and/or trends using one or more marketplace predictive models, such as based on telematics data available on the marketplace. In some examples, the one or more marketplace scores are exclusively available to the marketplace participants via the telematics-data-based-marketplace. For example, the one or more marketplace predictive models are kept confidential to the marketplace and not make available to any marketplace participants such that it is shielded from any marketplace participant-directed changes. In various examples, the systems and methods of the present disclosure may train and modify the one or more marketplace predictive models in view of the interests, goals, and/or requests of the marketplace participants. In some examples, the systems and methods of the present disclosure provide the marketplace scores and/or trends as a unique insights to its marketplace participants who would not able to obtain with an alternative method or channel. [00111] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide an algorithm input interface to its marketplace participants for receiving algorithms provided by each marketplace participant. The algorithms may include one or more use-specific algorithms and/or party-specific algorithms for determining custom scores (e.g., profitability score) associated with one or more vehicle operators of interests. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure may execute the algorithms to determine, based on telematics data and/or marketplace scores available on the marketplace, the custom scores for the associated marketplace participants. In various examples, the custom scores may be determined as composite scores, such as composite scores determined based solely on marketplace scores, such as using party-specified weights and biases. In some examples, the custom scores are indicative of the desirability of the associated vehicle operator to the marketplace participant. In certain examples, algorithms provided by a first marketplace participant may be shared with a selected other marketplace participants or to be shared with no other marketplace participants.

[00112] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine and/or present one or more marketplace scores and, such as upon request, descriptions of the associated marketplace algorithms such that the meaning of the marketplace scores are conveyed to the marketplace participants. For example, the descriptions may generally describe what factors were considered in the determination of the associated marketplace scores. In some examples, such marketplace scores may be referred to as transparent marketplace scores when descriptions of the associated marketplace algorithms are available. In some examples, the provision of algorithm descriptions help aid marketplace participants’ determination of which marketplace scores to use or how much each marketplace score should be weighed and/or biased in designing its algorithms for determining use-specific and/or party-specific scores. In other examples, some marketplace scores may be provided to marketplace participants without any algorithm descriptions and may be referred to as opaque marketplace scores. Examples of a transparent score may include an acceleration score, a braking score, a focus score, a steering score, a financial reliability score, and a demographic score. Examples of an opaque score may include an overall desirability score, a predicted profitability score, a predicted retention score, a predicted risk score, and a predicted costs score. [00113] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine and provide program-evaluation metrics (e.g., predicted probability of acquisition, actual acquisition data, acquisition costs, and/or vehicle operator desirability scores or trends) to a marketplace participant, such as one or more user-acquisition programs the marketplace participant is experimenting (e.g., in an A-B test). For example, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine and provide a first set of program-evaluation metrics associated with a first plurality of vehicle operators subject to a first user-acquisition program, and determine and provide a second set of program-evaluation metrics associated with a second plurality of vehicle operators subject to a second user-acquisition program. Systems and methods of the present disclosure may further compare the first set of program-evaluation metrics against the second set of program-evaluation metrics and generate a comparison report for the marketplace participants to evaluate the effectiveness of its user-acquisition programs.

For example, the effectiveness of one or more acquisition incentives, one or more acquisition promotions, one or more acquisition discounts, and/or one or more acquisition services may be extrapolated from the comparison report.

[00114] As another example, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine and provide program-evaluation metrics (e.g., predicted probability of acquisition, actual acquisition data, acquisition costs, and/or vehicle operator desirability scores or trends) to a marketplace participant for one or more user-retention programs the marketplace participant is experimenting (e.g., in an A-B test). For example, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine and provide a first set of program-evaluation metrics associated with a first plurality of vehicle operators subject to a first user-retention program, and determine and provide a second set of program-evaluation metrics associated with a second plurality of vehicle operators subject to a second user-retention program. Systems and methods of the present disclosure may further compare the first set of program-evaluation metrics against the second set of program-evaluation metrics and generate a comparison report for the marketplace participants to evaluate the effectiveness of its user-retention programs. For example, the effectiveness of one or more retention incentives, one or more retention promotions, one or more retention discounts, and/or one or more retention services may be extrapolated from the comparison report.

[00115] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a telematics auction marketplace, provide telematics data, provide telematics-data-based inferences (e.g., marketplace scores, use-specific scores, party-specific scores), and receive a plurality of bids from a plurality of marketplace participants. In some examples, the plurality of bids may be provided by the marketplace participants based on the desirability of an associated vehicle operator. In various examples, the plurality of bids are indicative of the degree of interest the marketplace participants have for an associated vehicle operator. In certain examples, the plurality of bids may be at least for profile information of the associated vehicle operator, advertisement opportunity, advertisement priority, and/or information release priority. As an example, systems and methods of the present disclosure may provide a marketplace participant of a winning bid additional profile information of a vehicle operator associated with the telematics data and/or inferences displayed. Systems and methods of the present disclosure may further provide the marketplace participant of the winning bid with one or more advertisement opportunities via one or more advertisement channels on record showing user activity, such as via an application the user uses, via a webpage visited by the user, via a game played by the user, and/or via a billboard positioned by a route the user travels through.

[00116] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a telematics auction marketplace configured to select a plurality of winning bids. In some examples, the telematics auction marketplace may auction information related to a vehicle operator to a plurality of marketplace participants, receive a plurality of bids from a plurality of marketplace participants, determine a number of winning bids satisfying a bid threshold (e.g., top percentile among the bids in bid amount and/or in bid time and/or satisfying a predetermined monetary or time threshold), determine different priorities won by the number of winning bids, determine different winning packages associated with the different priorities, and delivering the winning packages to a number of winning bidders associated with the number of winning bids.

In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine a number of winning bids by at least determining a first winning bid and a second winning bid. The first winning bid, when compared to the second winning bid, may be an earlier bid and/or higher bid, or alternatively have the same bid time or at the same bid amount. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine the different priorities by at least determining the first winning bid to have won a first winning priority and the second winning bid to have won a second winning priority. The first winning priority may be higher or equal to the second winning priority. In certain examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure determine the winning packages at least determining a first winning package associated with the first winning priority and a second winning package associated with the second winning priority. The first winning package may include a first data package related to a vehicle operator that is more valuable (e.g., more detailed and/or more advanced such as analytical inferences rather than raw data) than a second data package included in the second winning package. The first winning package may alternatively include the same data package as the second winning package but the first winning package is delivered to the associated first winning bidder at an earlier time period than the second winning package to the associated second winning bidder.

[00117] In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a telematics auction marketplace configured to release several levels of information related to a vehicle operator listed on the auction marketplace. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure generate a plurality of bidding time windows for the marketplace participants to bid. As an example, winning bidder(s) of the winning bid(s) of a first bidding time window may be awarded the highest level of information when compared to winning bidder(s) of the winning bid(s) of all subsequent bidding time window(s) which occur later than the first bidding time window. The highest level of information may include a high level composite score indicative of the desirability of the vehicle operator (e.g., specific to a specific industry, specific market, and/or specific use), whereas a lower level of information, such as those included in winning bids of the subsequent bidding time windows, may include more primitive data and/or primitive scores such as raw telematics data and/or granular scores indicative of granular operator characteristics.

[00118] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a telematics auction marketplace with conditional bidding, provide telematics data, provide telematics-data-based inferences (e.g., marketplace scores, use-specific scores, party-specific scores), and receive a plurality of conditional bids from a plurality of marketplace participants.

In some examples, the plurality of conditional bids may be provided by the marketplace participants based on the desirability of an associated vehicle operator. In various examples, the plurality of conditional bids are indicative of the degree of interest the marketplace participants have for an associated vehicle operator. In certain examples, the plurality of conditional bids may be at least for profile information of the associated vehicle operator, advertisement opportunity, advertisement priority, and/or information release priority. As an example, systems and methods of the present disclosure may provide a marketplace participant of a winning conditional bid additional profile information of a vehicle operator associated with the telematics data and/or inferences displayed. Systems and methods of the present disclosure may further provide the marketplace participant of the winning conditional bid with one or more advertisement opportunities via one or more advertisement channels on record showing user activity, such as via an application the user uses, via a webpage visited by the user, via a game played by the user, and/or via a billboard positioned by a route the user travels through.

[00119] In various examples, payment by a winning bidder associated with a conditional bid to the telematics auction marketplace may not be processed or completed (e.g., withheld from completion) until a payment condition is satisfied. This may be in contrast to a non-conditional bid where payment is processed either when the bid was selected as a winner or when the award (e.g., user information) is granted. In some examples, the payment condition may be a predetermined time of retention, a predetermined profitability, a predetermined profits, a predetermined revenue, a conversion event, an acquisition event. As an example, systems and methods of the present disclosure may deliver an award package (e.g., user information) to a marketplace participant associated with a winning bid without processing the transaction payment. Following the award, systems and methods of the present disclosure may monitor one or more metrics associated with the vehicle operator and the winning marketplace participant. Upon the fulfillment of the payment condition, such as upon the vehicle operator becoming a user of the marketplace participant, the payment may be processed for the transaction.

[00120] In various examples, payment by a winning bidder associated with a conditional bid to the telematics auction marketplace may be processed partially (e.g., half) at the time of award and processed partially (e.g., the other half) upon the fulfillment of the payment condition. The payment condition may be a user relationship milestone (e.g., years of being a user exceeding a threshold) or profitability milestone (e.g., accumulative profits exceeding a threshold). In some examples, a plurality of payment conditions may be conditioned into a conditional bid that, if the bid won, would enable a gradual payment structure with one of multiple payments (e.g., installments) processed upon fulfillment of each of the plurality of payment conditions. As an example, systems and methods of the present disclosure may process a first payment at the time of delivering the award package, process a second payment at the time of user acquisition, process a third payment at the time of breakeven (e.g., when user revenue exceeds costs of user acquisition or when the user-resulted revenue exceeds user-resulted costs), process a fourth payment at the time of the minimum profitability (e.g., when the user-resulted revenue exceeds user-resulted costs by a predetermined threshold), and/or process a fifth payment at the time of minimum relationship time (e.g., when the vehicle operator remains a user to the marketplace participant beyond a predetermined threshold). In some examples, a bidding fee related to entering of a marketplace participant’s bid may be processed before the bid is considered in the auctioning process. In certain examples, an access fee related to accessing telematics data and/or telematics inferences may be processed. In certain examples, a subscription fee related to allowing usage of the telematics marketplace may be processed.

[00121] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a telematics auction marketplace configured to receive conditional bids with multiple payment conditions. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure train and/or implement one or more bid profitability predictive models for determining the predicted profit of a conditional bid.

In some examples, provided to users is a universal collector (e.g., a software application and/or hardware-based device) configured to collect telematics data shareable to a plurality of parties, such as parties of different industries. In certain examples, the universal collector is configured to utilize, or provide the telematics data to another device that is configured to utilize, the telematics data for one or more uses in addition to providing the telematics data to the plurality of parties, such as upon request. For example, a universal collector is configured to utilize the telematics data for monitoring carbon emission and/or enhancing user interaction and user experience with a software application, such as a game, such as a game with a virtual driver.

[00164] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure for generating leads for a plurality of parties includes receiving universal telematics data, such as one collected using a universal collector, as input, generating one or more scores, metrics, characteristics, and/or pricing associated with a vehicle operator to which the telematics data are in association. In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure generate a single score for each vehicle operator to represent an overall safe driving score and/or reliability score for the vehicle operator. In certain examples, parties may select and purchase leads for one or more vehicle operators based at least in part upon the single score, such that more information, such as more detailed scores and/or raw telematics data, are provided to the parties who purchased the leads. In various examples, parties may select vehicle operators blindly based solely on their scores, such as via a selection of a score tier, from which telematics data and/or operator scores associated with one vehicle operator categorized to that score tier are shared with the purchasing party. In some examples, score thresholds may be placed by the requesting parties to limit candidate vehicle operators to only ones having operator scores greater than or equal to the score thresholds.

[00165] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure generate party-specific and/or use-specific scores associated with vehicle operators using party-provided models for generating scores for a particular use associated with the party. In certain examples, the party-provided models may be a full version or a stripped-down version for generating preliminary scores.

[00166] In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure, by providing operator scores instead of raw telematics data, help reduce network load and cost, processing load and cost, and/or storage size and cost, for requesting parties. In some examples, security measures may be implemented to help ensure party-provided models are used securely. For example, via the use of read-only (or use-only) access, audit key, and usage log visible to the model-providing parties.

[00167] In some embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure generate party- specific and/or use-specific scores associated with vehicle operators using predictive models trained using artificial intelligence, such as by taking the input (e.g., sensor data) and output (e.g., score, price) from parties, for generating scores for a particular use and/or a party.

[00168] In some embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure directly provide collected telematics data to requesters or purchasers such that the requesters or purchasers may take telematics data as input for their own score-generating models.

[00169] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide telematics data collected, such as after labeling, such as in the form of operator scores, on a marketplace configured to be accessed by a plurality of parties, such as including parties from different industries. In certain examples, the marketplace is an auction marketplace configured to take bids for leads and share telematics data to the winning bids. In some examples, the auction marketplace is configured to provide the winning bid a time slot (e.g., minutes, hours, or days) to select vehicle operators to obtain telematics data associated with the selected vehicle operators. In certain examples, multiple winning bids are selected, and each requesting party associated with each winning bid can select one or more vehicle operators to obtain telematics data associated with the selected one or more vehicle operators. In some examples, the highest winning bid receives information associated with a vehicle operator in a first time slot, then the second-highest winning bid receives the same information in a second time slot following the first time slot. This may be referred to as time-division bidding.

[00170] In certain examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide, upon request of a party as part of the auction, additional information such as personal history, preliminary scores, score ranges, prior to the bidding stage of the auctioning, such as in exchange for a disclosure fee.

[00171] In various examples, when the winning requesting party associated with the winning bid obtains a list of vehicle operators satisfying one or more criteria.

[00172] In various examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure generate and provide scores specific to a user and/or a party such that the scores are informative to the party specifically for a particular use. For example, systems and methods generate and provide a safety score associated with a vehicle operator for insurance companies, car rental companies, and/or (highway) safety agencies. In another example, systems and methods generate and provide a payment reliability score associated with a vehicle operator for parties considering the vehicle operator as a customer. In another example, systems and methods generate and provide behavioral scores associated with the vehicle operator for companies considering the vehicle operator as a customer. For example, in addition to credit check and background check, landlords, real estate agents and property managers can request a behavioral score generated based on telematics data to help with decision whether the prospective renter or buyer would be a good selection. In various examples, systems and methods generate and provide vehicle type- specific scores for automobile manufacturers for improving safety of future products.

[00173] In some examples, systems and methods of the present disclosure monitor driving behaviors of vehicle operators, such as including tracking behavioral changes as a function of which party the vehicle operator is in association with. In some examples, systems and methods evaluate multiple business models, such as ones adopted by multiple organizations for generating premiums, discounts, and/or rewards for its customers, based on driving behavior indicated by the telematics data.

[00174] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a software development kit (SDK) for collecting telematics data to multiple parties to be shared across platforms of various uses (e.g., gaming, vehicle condition tracking, carbon emission monitoring). For example, multiple software application developed using the shared SDK, when in association (e.g., installed onto a mobile device) with a vehicle operator, only one copy of the telematics data collection program may be run with others suspended to save processing power and reduce redundancy. Data collected are shared across the different uses, such as to enhance user interaction and user experience with the particular use (e.g., app, game). In some examples, a shared SDK can help produce uniformed output of a shared format across multiple parties collecting telematics data via their corresponding data collector (e.g., software and/or hardware). [00175] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure collects telematics data from any device installed with the SDK, such as from mobile devices installed with software applications including the SDK and/or from automobiles installed with the SDK on their on-board computers. [00176] In certain embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a telematics database configured to be subscribed by a plurality of parties (e.g., companies, organizations, agencies, individuals), such as in a limited license (or limited subscription) or in an exclusive license (or full subscription).

[00177] In some examples, parties with limited licenses to the database may collect telematics data from its customers using a universal collector (e.g., end-users of data collecting software applications and/or hardware) for the party’s own use, and the data collected by parties with limited licenses are available to the plurality of parties subscribed (or has license) to the database, regardless of whether the license was limited or exclusive.

[00178] In some examples, parties with exclusive licenses to the database may collect telematics data from its customers using a universal collector (e.g., end-users of data collecting software applications and/or hardware) for the party’s own use, and exclude all other parties subscribed (or has license) to the database from accessing its data. The universal collector may be installed with the shared SDK.

[00179] In some examples, subscribers of the database can request telematics data of one or more vehicle operators from one or more other parties subscribed to the database directly, and the parties receiving the requests may choose to reject or authorize the data share.

[00180] In some examples, the database is configured to allow subscribers who do not contribute telematics data to the database, but instead only consume by requesting telematics data, such as via a consumption-only license or subscription.

[00181] In certain examples, a subscriber in an industry, such as banking, that does not collect telematics data of its customers (e.g., who are on the database because telematics data were collected from them via other one or more software applications and/or hardware associated with other subscribers to the database), can request customer information (e.g., behavioral scores) associated with its customers from the database, the customer information being generated based at least in part upon telematics data.

[00182] In various embodiments, systems and methods of the present disclosure provide a driving telematics platform configured to be accessed by multiple parties, such as insurance companies, and configured to collect telematics data from a plurality of users, such as via software applications and/or collection hardware, such as in a uniform data format, such as via a shared SDK. One or More Examples of Machine Learning According to Various Embodiments

[00183] According to some embodiments, a processor or a processing element may be trained using supervised machine learning and/or unsupervised machine learning, and the machine learning may employ an artificial neural network, which, for example, may be a convolutional neural network, a recurrent neural network, a deep learning neural network, a reinforcement learning module or program, or a combined learning module or program that learns in two or more fields or areas of interest. Machine learning may involve identifying and recognizing patterns in existing data in order to facilitate making predictions for subsequent data. Models may be created based upon example inputs in order to make valid and reliable predictions for novel inputs.

[00184] According to certain embodiments, machine learning programs may be trained by inputting sample data sets or certain data into the programs, such as images, object statistics and information, historical estimates, and/or actual repair costs. The machine learning programs may utilize deep learning algorithms that may be primarily focused on pattern recognition and may be trained after processing multiple examples. The machine learning programs may include Bayesian Program Learning (BPL), voice recognition and synthesis, image or object recognition, optical character recognition, and/or natural language processing. The machine learning programs may also include natural language processing, semantic analysis, automatic reasoning, and/or other types of machine learning.

[00185] According to some embodiments, supervised machine learning techniques and/or unsupervised machine learning techniques may be used. In supervised machine learning, a processing element may be provided with example inputs and their associated outputs and may seek to discover a general rule that maps inputs to outputs, so that when subsequent novel inputs are provided the processing element may, based upon the discovered rule, accurately predict the correct output. In unsupervised machine learning, the processing element may need to find its own structure in unlabeled example inputs.

One or More Examples of Modules According to Various Embodiments

[00186] Additionally, certain embodiments are described herein as including logic or a number of routines, subroutines, applications, or instructions. These may constitute either software (e.g., code embodied on a non-transitory, machine-readable medium) or hardware. In hardware, the routines, etc., are tangible units capable of performing certain operations and may be configured or arranged in a certain manner. In example embodiments, one or more computing systems (e.g., a standalone, client or server computing system) or one or more hardware modules of a computing system (e.g., a processor or a group of processors) may be configured by software (e.g., an application or application portion) as a hardware module that operates to perform certain operations as described herein.

[00187] In various embodiments, a hardware module may be implemented mechanically or electronically. For example, a hardware module may comprise dedicated circuitry or logic that may be permanently configured (e.g., as a special-purpose processor, such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)) to perform certain operations. A hardware module may also comprise programmable logic or circuitry (e.g., as encompassed within a general-purpose processor or other programmable processor) that may be temporarily configured by software to perform certain operations. It will be appreciated that the decision to implement a hardware module mechanically, in dedicated and permanently configured circuitry, or in temporarily configured circuitry (e.g., configured by software) may be driven by cost and time considerations.

[00188] Accordingly, the term “hardware module” should be understood to encompass a tangible entity, be that an entity that is physically constructed, permanently configured (e.g., hardwired), or temporarily configured (e.g., programmed) to operate in a certain manner or to perform certain operations described herein. Considering embodiments in which hardware modules are temporarily configured (e.g., programmed), each of the hardware modules need not be configured or instantiated at any one instance in time. For example, where the hardware modules comprise a general-purpose processor configured using software, the general-purpose processor may be configured as respective different hardware modules at different times. Software may accordingly configure a processor, for example, to constitute a particular hardware module at one instance of time and to constitute a different hardware module at a different instance of time.

[00189] Hardware modules may provide information to, and receive information from, other hardware modules. Accordingly, the described hardware modules may be regarded as being communicatively coupled. Where multiple of such hardware modules exist contemporaneously, communications may be achieved through signal transmission (e.g., over appropriate circuits and buses) that connect the hardware modules. In embodiments in which multiple hardware modules are configured or instantiated at different times, communications between such hardware modules may be achieved, for example, through the storage and retrieval of information in memory structures to which the multiple hardware modules have access. For example, one hardware module may perform an operation and store the output of that operation in a memory device to which it may be communicatively coupled. A further hardware module may then, at a later time, access the memory device to retrieve and process the stored output. Hardware modules may also initiate communications with input or output devices, and may operate on a resource (e.g., a collection of information).

[00190] The various operations of example methods described herein may be performed, at least partially, by one or more processors that are temporarily configured (e.g., by software) or permanently configured to perform the relevant operations. Whether temporarily or permanently configured, such processors may constitute processor-implemented modules that operate to perform one or more operations or functions. The modules referred to herein may, in some example embodiments, comprise processor-implemented modules.

[00191] Similarly, the methods or routines described herein may be at least partially processor-implemented. For example, at least some of the operations of a method may be performed by one or more processors or processor-implemented hardware modules. The performance of certain of the operations may be distributed among the one or more processors, not only residing within a single machine, but deployed across a number of machines. In some example embodiments, the processor or processors may be located in a single location (e.g., within a home environment, an office environment, or as a server farm), while in other embodiments the processors may be distributed across a number of locations.

[00192] The performance of certain of the operations may be distributed among the one or more processors, not only residing within a single machine, but deployed across a number of machines. In some example embodiments, the one or more processors or processor-implemented modules may be located in a single geographic location (e.g., within a home environment, an office environment, or a server farm). In other example embodiments, the one or more processors or processor-implemented modules may be distributed across a number of geographic locations. [00193] Unless specifically stated otherwise, discussions herein using words such as “processing,” “computing,” “calculating,” “determining,” “presenting,” “displaying,” or the like may refer to actions or processes of a machine (e.g., a computer) that manipulates or transforms data represented as physical (e.g., electronic, magnetic, or optical) quantities within one or more memories (e.g., volatile memory, non-volatile memory, or a combination thereof), registers, or other machine components that receive, store, transmit, or display information.

Additional Considerations According to Various Embodiments

[00194] In some examples, some or all components of various embodiments of the present disclosure each are, individually and/or in combination with at least another component, implemented using one or more software components, one or more hardware components, and/or one or more combinations of software and hardware components. As an example, some or all components of various embodiments of the present disclosure each are, individually and/or in combination with at least another component, implemented in one or more circuits, such as one or more analog circuits and/or one or more digital circuits. For example, while the embodiments described above refer to particular features, the scope of the present disclosure also includes embodiments having different combinations of features and embodiments that do not include all of the described features. As an example, various embodiments and/or examples of the present disclosure can be combined.

[00195] Additionally, the methods and systems described herein may be implemented on many different types of processing devices by program code comprising program instructions that are executable by the device processing subsystem. The software program instructions may include source code, object code, machine code, or any other stored data that is operable to cause a processing system to perform the methods and operations described herein. Certain implementations may also be used, however, such as firmware or even appropriately designed hardware configured to perform the methods and systems described herein.

[00196] The systems’ and methods’ data (e.g., associations, mappings, data input, data output, intermediate data results, final data results) may be stored and implemented in one or more different types of computer-implemented data stores, such as different types of storage devices and programming constructs (e.g., RAM, ROM, EEPROM, Flash memory, flat files, databases, programming data structures, programming variables, IF-THEN (or similar type) statement constructs, application programming interface). It is noted that data structures describe formats for use in organizing and storing data in databases, programs, memory, or other computer- readable media for use by a computer program.

[00197] The systems and methods may be provided on many different types of computer- readable media including computer storage mechanisms (e.g., CD-ROM, diskette, RAM, flash memory, computer’s hard drive, DVD) that contain instructions (e.g., software) for use in execution by a processor to perform the methods’ operations and implement the systems described herein. The computer components, software modules, functions, data stores and data structures described herein may be connected directly or indirectly to each other in order to allow the flow of data needed for their operations. It is also noted that a module or processor includes a unit of code that performs a software operation, and can be implemented for example as a subroutine unit of code, or as a software function unit of code, or as an object (as in an object- oriented paradigm), or as an applet, or in a computer script language, or as another type of computer code. The software components and/or functionality may be located on a single computer or distributed across multiple computers depending upon the situation at hand.

[00198] The computing system can include client devices and servers. A client device and server are generally remote from each other and typically interact through a communication network. The relationship of client device and server arises by virtue of computer programs running on the respective computers and having a client device-server relationship to each other. [00199] This specification contains many specifics for particular embodiments. Certain features that are described in this specification in the context of separate embodiments can also be implemented in combination in a single embodiment. Conversely, various features that are described in the context of a single embodiment can also be implemented in multiple embodiments separately or in any suitable subcombination. Moreover, although features may be described above as acting in certain combinations, one or more features from a combination can in some cases be removed from the combination, and a combination may, for example, be directed to a subcombination or variation of a subcombination.

[00200] Similarly, while operations are depicted in a particular order, this should not be understood as requiring that such operations be performed in the particular order shown or in sequential order, or that all illustrated operations be performed, to achieve desirable results. In certain circumstances, multitasking and parallel processing may be advantageous. Moreover, the separation of various system components in the embodiments described above should not be understood as requiring such separation in all embodiments, and it should be understood that the described program components and systems can generally be integrated together in a single software product or packaged into multiple software products.

[00201] Additionally, certain embodiments are described herein as including logic or a number of routines, subroutines, applications, or instructions. These may constitute either software (e.g., code embodied on a non-transitory, machine-readable medium) or hardware. In hardware, the routines, etc., are tangible units capable of performing certain operations and may be configured or arranged in a certain manner. In example embodiments, one or more computing systems (e.g., a standalone, client or server computing system) or one or more hardware modules of a computing system (e.g., a processor or a group of processors) may be configured by software (e.g., an application or application portion) as a hardware module that operates to perform certain operations as described herein.

[00202] In various embodiments, a hardware module may be implemented mechanically or electronically. For example, a hardware module may comprise dedicated circuitry or logic that may be permanently configured (e.g., as a special-purpose processor, such as a field programmable gate array (FPGA) or an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC)) to perform certain operations. A hardware module may also comprise programmable logic or circuitry (e.g., as encompassed within a general-purpose processor or other programmable processor) that may be temporarily configured by software to perform certain operations. It will be appreciated that the decision to implement a hardware module mechanically, in dedicated and permanently configured circuitry, or in temporarily configured circuitry (e.g., configured by software) may be driven by cost and time considerations.

[00203] Accordingly, the term “hardware module” should be understood to encompass a tangible entity, be that an entity that is physically constructed, permanently configured (e.g., hardwired), or temporarily configured (e.g., programmed) to operate in a certain manner or to perform certain operations described herein. Considering embodiments in which hardware modules are temporarily configured (e.g., programmed), each of the hardware modules need not be configured or instantiated at any one instance in time. For example, where the hardware modules comprise a general-purpose processor configured using software, the general-purpose processor may be configured as respective different hardware modules at different times. Software may accordingly configure a processor, for example, to constitute a particular hardware module at one instance of time and to constitute a different hardware module at a different instance of time.

[00204] Hardware modules may provide information to, and receive information from, other hardware modules. Accordingly, the described hardware modules may be regarded as being communicatively coupled. Where multiple of such hardware modules exist contemporaneously, communications may be achieved through signal transmission (e.g., over appropriate circuits and buses) that connect the hardware modules. In embodiments in which multiple hardware modules are configured or instantiated at different times, communications between such hardware modules may be achieved, for example, through the storage and retrieval of information in memory structures to which the multiple hardware modules have access. For example, one hardware module may perform an operation and store the output of that operation in a memory device to which it may be communicatively coupled. A further hardware module may then, at a later time, access the memory device to retrieve and process the stored output. Hardware modules may also initiate communications with input or output devices, and may operate on a resource (e.g., a collection of information).

[00205] The various operations of example methods described herein may be performed, at least partially, by one or more processors that are temporarily configured (e.g., by software) or permanently configured to perform the relevant operations. Whether temporarily or permanently configured, such processors may constitute processor-implemented modules that operate to perform one or more operations or functions. The modules referred to herein may, in some example embodiments, comprise processor-implemented modules.

[00206] Similarly, the methods or routines described herein may be at least partially processor-implemented. For example, at least some of the operations of a method may be performed by one or more processors or processor-implemented hardware modules. The performance of certain of the operations may be distributed among the one or more processors, not only residing within a single machine, but deployed across a number of machines. In some example embodiments, the processor or processors may be located in a single location (e.g., within a home environment, an office environment, or as a server farm), while in other embodiments the processors may be distributed across a number of locations. [00207] The performance of certain of the operations may be distributed among the one or more processors, not only residing within a single machine, but deployed across a number of machines. In some example embodiments, the one or more processors or processor-implemented modules may be located in a single geographic location (e.g., within a home environment, an office environment, or a server farm). In other example embodiments, the one or more processors or processor-implemented modules may be distributed across a number of geographic locations.

[00208] Unless specifically stated otherwise, discussions herein using words such as “processing,” “computing,” “calculating,” “determining,” “presenting,” “displaying,” or the like may refer to actions or processes of a machine (e.g., a computer) that manipulates or transforms data represented as physical (e.g., electronic, magnetic, or optical) quantities within one or more memories (e.g., volatile memory, non-volatile memory, or a combination thereof), registers, or other machine components that receive, store, transmit, or display information.

[00209] Although specific embodiments of the present disclosure have been described, it will be understood by those of skill in the art that there are other embodiments that are equivalent to the described embodiments. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the present disclosure is not to be limited by the specific illustrated embodiments.
