Methods and systems for generating a response to detecting a fire on a property are provided. In certain aspects, a smart home controller (or other smart controller) may analyze data received from smart devices disposed on, within, or proximate to a property. If it is determined that a fire is present on the premises of the property, the smart home controller may determine a location of the fire as compared to the smart devices. The smart home controller may then generate and transmit instructions causing a portion of the smart devices to perform a set of actions to mitigate risks associated with the presence of the fire on the property. The smart home controller may also compare the location of the fire with a location of an occupant, and generate an escape route for the occupant. Insurance policies, premiums, or discounts may be adjusted based upon the fire response/mitigation functionality.

Methods and systems for automatically mitigating risks of damage caused by the breaking of a circuit are provided. A smart home controller and/or insurance provider remote processor may analyze data, with customer permission, received from a smart device disposed on, within, or proximate to a property associated with monitoring the flow of electricity. If it is determined that risk of damage due to the flow of electricity being cut off exists, the smart home controller or remote processor may automatically issue commands to the smart device to take actions mitigating the risk. The smart home controller may transmit information about the risk(s) to a homeowner and/or an insurance provider. The insurance provider remote processor may interpret the transmitted data and perform insurance activities, such as providing a discount or premium, and/or adjusting an insurance policy associated with the property based upon the insured property being equipped with risk mitigation functionality.

The present embodiments relate to identifying property intrusion events based upon sensor data received from smart devices populated about a home. A smart home controller may compare the sensor data to baseline sensor data to dynamically identify an intrusion event that may be occurring. The controller may generate a notification and determine an action to perform to facilitate damage or risk mitigation. Accordingly, an individual associated with the home may be notified of the event, and then select to perform the action, such as via their mobile device. In some implementations, the controller may automatically perform the action. As a result, in response to computer identification of an intrusion event, corrective action may be taken or prompted, or otherwise any damage caused by the intrusion event may be mitigated, reducing insurance claims or claim amounts associated with intrusion events. Insurance discounts may be provided based upon the risk mitigation functionality.

An automated cup lid assembly includes a lid that is positionable on a beverage cup for closing the beverage cup. The lid has a drinking aperture extending therethrough for drinking. A closure is slidably coupled to the lid and the closure is positionable between an open position and a closed position. The closure covers the drinking aperture when the closure is in the closed position and the drinking aperture is exposed when the closure is in the open position. A motion unit is integrated into the lid and the motion unit is in mechanical communication with the closure. The motion unit urges the closure into the open position when the motion unit senses that the beverage cup is near a user's mouth. Additionally, the motion unit urges the closure into the closed position when the motion unit no longer senses that the beverage cup is near the user's mouth.

Systems and methods for managing the operation of devices within a home or other property based upon electrical usage data. With customer knowledge or consent, a home controller may retrieve and analyze electrical usage data corresponding to a device, such as by comparing it to certain threshold data. If the analysis results in a trigger condition, the controller may generate a command, and transmit the command to the device for implementation, allowing modification of device operation to address any issues indicated in the electrical usage data. The controller may also notify a home owner/occupant. As a result, faulty devices may be managed prior to their faults causing damage to the device and/or the property, and/or property owners may be timely prompted to investigate, repair, and/or replace a failing device. Insurance discounts may be provided based upon the risk mitigation/prevention functionality.

Methods and systems are provided that manage warranty information. A home may be populated with smart or other devices that are in wired or wireless communication with a central controller. The smart devices may be covered by an insurance policy, such as a homeowners, renters, or personal articles insurance policy. The controller may receive warranty information for the devices, and may update an inventory list to include the warranty information. The controller may detect that the warranty information indicates that a warranty corresponding to a smart device is about to expire. The controller may transmit a notification to a customer mobile device that informs the customer about, or prompts the customer to take, possible corrective actions. The smart devices may be associated with appliances, electronics, computers, televisions, jewelry, vehicles, furniture, or other equipment or personal belongings. Insurance discounts may be provided based upon the warranty management functionality.

A display device, for a hybrid vehicle for displaying an output relating to traveling of the hybrid vehicle, includes a first region and a second region. The first region indicates the output in a first mode in which an internal combustion engine is stopped and the vehicle travels using an electric motor. The second region indicates the output in a second mode in which the internal combustion engine is operated to travel. The first region and the second region are independently disposed in a predetermined range. Numerals for scale are marked in either one of the first region and the second region.
