A proposal system is a proposal system that proposes a method of using a used vehicle that was used in a flat-rate service in which a user is entitled to use a vehicle by making a periodic payment, and the proposal system includes a processor and an output unit. The processor calculates a first expected profit that will be obtained by selling the used vehicle, a second expected profit in a case in which the used vehicle is used in a subscription service, and a threshold value smaller than the first expected profit. When the second expected profit is larger than the threshold value, the processor has the output unit provide an output that the used vehicle be used in the flat-rate service.

The present disclosure provides computerized, automated real estate valuation systems and methods that take into account subjective factors of the property like curb appeal and property condition. In preferred embodiments, the valuation system uses image recognition of images (photos and/or videos) associated with the property to automatically identify which comparable properties to include and to exclude in determining the value of the property.

Systems and methods for configuring and launching a marketplace are described. A method may include identifying an opportunity for a new marketplace, receiving marketplace opportunity data, determining configuration parameters, and determining a feasibility of implementing the new marketplace configuration.

A method and a system for a product anti-counterfeiting verification mechanism which is composed of a server, a user interface, a first information device, and a second information device. The image of the product can be captured by the first information device. After segmentation, coding, and selecting a plurality of segmented grid images and their codes, they are further encrypted to generate a product code, which is attached to the product. When the verification is required, the product code is captured and analyzed. Meanwhile, the image of the product to be verified is captured. The corresponding standard grid image is extracted from the product code and compared against the grid image of the product to be verified. In this way, it is ensured that the product is genuine from the time of posting to the time of pickup.

A method for selecting an AI solution for an automated robotic process including receiving at least one functional media including information indicative of brain activity by a human engaged in a task of interest, analyzing the functional media, identifying an activity level in at least one brain region, identifying a brain region parameter and an activity parameter; identifying an action parameter based in part on the brain region parameter or the activity parameter; and selecting a component of the AI solution in part on the brain region parameter, the activity parameter, or the action parameter.

An automated shoe insurance quote system, including a user interface presentable on a display of one or more mobile computing devices in electrical communication with one or more servers, the user interface configured to enable a user to specify details regarding a pair of sneakers to be insured, display an estimated value of the pair of sneakers, wherein the estimated value of the pair of sneakers is determined by obtaining sales data from one or more online retail venues, and present one or more insurance coverage plans for selection by the user, wherein a coverage value of the one or more insurance coverage plans is determined by the current estimated value of the pair of sneakers.

Methods and systems for homeowner-directed risk mitigation for damage to a property associated with insurance-related events are provided. A smart home controller may analyze data received from a plurality of smart devices disposed on, or proximate to, a property as well as data received from an insurance provider. If it is determined that an actual or potential risk of property damage exists, the smart home controller may transmit an alert to a homeowner detailing the risk. The homeowner may respond to the alert by transmitting an instruction to mitigate or prevent damage associated with the risk back to the smart home controller. Subsequently, the smart home controller may transmit information about the actual or potential risks and any homeowner-directed mitigative actions to an insurance provider. The insurance provider may interpret the transmitted data and perform insurance activities, such as providing discounts and adjusting an insurance policy associated with the property.

Disclosed herein is a method for facilitating determining a worthiness of real estate assets, in accordance with some embodiments. The method may include a step of receiving, using a communication device, a real estate asset indication of a real estate asset from a user device, identifying, using a processing device, an asset location of the real estate asset based on the real estate asset indication, retrieving, using a storage device, values of indexes associated with the real estate asset based on the identifying, retrieving, using the storage device, an offered price of the real estate asset based on the real estate asset indication, analyzing, using the processing device, the offered price based on the values of the indexes, generating, using the processing device, a value-for-money index for the real estate asset based on the analyzing, and transmitting, using the communication device, the value-for-money index to the user device.

Systems for self-organizing data collection and storage in a refining environment are disclosed. An example system may include a swarm of mobile data collectors structured to interpret a plurality of sensor inputs from sensors in the refining environment, wherein the plurality of sensor inputs is configured to sense at least one of: an operational mode, a fault mode, a maintenance mode, or a health status of a plurality of refining system components disposed in the refining environment, and wherein the plurality of refining system components is structured to contribute, in part, to refining of a product. The self-organizing system organizes a swarm of mobile data collectors to collect data from the system components, and at least one of a storage operation of the data, a data collection operation of the sensors, or a selection operation of the plurality of sensor inputs.

Disclosed is a method for evaluating cooking quality that includes: in response to receiving evaluation information of a food sent by a terminal, retrieving an assessment result corresponding to the food, the assessment result being an assessment result of the cooking quality of a cooking appliance; and determining an evaluation result of the cooking quality of the cooking appliance based on the assessment result, the evaluation information, and a preset evaluation rule. Also disclosed is a device for evaluating cooking quality. With this disclosure, both the assessment result and the evaluation information are weighted in computing the evaluation result of the cooking quality of the cooking appliance. Such an evaluation result not only reflects users' subjective evaluation of the cooking quality, but it also reflects an objective and tenable evaluation of the cooking quality, making the evaluation of the cooking quality more reasonable.
