20100063850 | System and method for determining an objective driver score - The present invention is directed to a business method in the field of automobile insurance, more specifically, a system and method of determining an objective driver score that may be used universally by independent insurers to evaluate the risk of insuring a driver by employing certain risk assessment factors concerning the driver's personal history which are each analyzed to derive weighted scores. Each driver is provided with a portable pin with an electronic key unique to the driver that is encoded for selective activation of a monitoring unit in a vehicle such that solely the activities of the driver being assessed is recorded and communicated to an evaluation center. Once activated, the monitoring unit records and generates the driver's risk assessment record based on the driver's operation of a vehicle equipped with the monitoring unit, as well as other variable parameters concerning operation of the vehicle. Said driver's risk assessment record is analyzed to derive a weighted driver risk assessment score that is aggregated with the individual weighted scores derived from the risk assessment factors to generate an objective driver score. | 03-11-2010 |
20100077536 | Game apparatus, system and method for improving in-game communications during a game - The present invention is directed to a game apparatus, system and method for improving in-game communications, more specifically a game apparatus, system and method for allowing players to dynamically transmit and receive communications in real-time from their coaches and/or other players on or off the field concerning game play instructions to be effected on the field or court. The system and method of the invention includes a headgear being provided to at least one player, where the headgear includes a game apparatus equipped with a circuit board, electrical wiring, battery, antennae, microprocessor, communications means and displaying means all enclosed within a housing that is affixed to the headgear. The communication means receives in real-time an encrypted signal containing a game play instruction intended for execution on the field during a game. The game apparatus' microprocessor decrypts the received encrypted signal containing the game play instruction intended for execution on the field during the game, which is converted to a viewable game play instruction that is displayed via displaying means on a visor, which is in mating engagement with said headgear. The visor may be permanently affixed to the headgear or detachable and may be color treated with a tint to enhance a player's ability to view the converted viewable game play instruction displayed thereon. | 04-01-2010 |
