- Figure 1 is a block diagram of an Information System 100 in which collision data is collected at the birth of an accident at the accident site 101.
- the term "birth” refers to the moment an auto collision occurs and before the traditional insurance industry definition of the collision repair process.
- An automobile 103 being driven by or otherwise associated with an insured person or the "insured” 105 is in an automobile accident at an accident site 101.
- the collision is reported by anyone using any of numerous wireless devices 107 via wireless communications 109 to an insurer site 113 via a communication network 111.
- the communication network 111 incorporates or otherwise encompasses many different types of electronic communication networks.
- the electronic communication networks include, for example, various telephone networks such as the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) wireless communications and associated devices for enabling communications by cellular telephones and the like (CELL).
- PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
- the electronic communication networks also includes any computer commumcations networks, such as local area networks (LAN) or wide area networks (WAN) and further encompasses interconnected networks such as comprises the Internet including the Internet backbone and other networks that enable global computer commumcations.
- the insured 105 or any other on-site personnel reports the accident.
- the insured 105 includes a cell phone 119 or the like and places a wireless call to a claims agent 115 at the insurer site 113.
- Other on site personnel may include police or emergency medical services
- the call using the cell phone 119 is made to the claims agent 115 who then coordinates additional communications, such as to the police or medical personnel, etc.
- the claims agent 115 may also call a cab company 133 to dispatch a taxi 135 to the accident site 101.
- the insured 105 carries with him or with the automobile 103 a personal digital assistant (PDA) device 121 or the like which is equipped with wireless communications to establish the call or communication to the claims agent 115.
- the PDA device 121 is further equipped with electronic data capture equipment, such as a digital camera or the like, for retrieving and recording accident information.

- the PDA device 121 may further be used to take a picture of a vehicle identification number (VTN) of the damaged automobile 103.
- the PDA device 121 may include or otherwise scan device to scan the NBSf if in bar code format.
- the PDA device 121 may also be used to record other collision information at the accident site 101, such as damage to any other automobiles involved in the accident. Further, the PDA device 121 may be utilized to collect other data such as pictures of any person or persons involved in the accident and any injuries sustained.
- the PDA device 121 may further be used to collect data such as digital pictures or the like of the accident site 101, such as the scene of the accident and the concomitant environment conditions such as the weather, location, amount of traffic, type of traffic, etc. All such accident information may be used to assess the cause of the accident, damage to automobiles or other vehicles involved in the accident, damage to any other property involved in the accident, and any injuries sustained in the accident.
- the data collection equipment combined with wireless communications of the PDA device 121 provides a convenient system for data collection and transfer, particularly associated with assessment and repair of the damaged automobile 103.
- the digital pictures and other data is wirelessly transmitted as indicated by a wireless data communication link 123 to a computer system 117 at the insurer site 113 coupled to the communication network 111.
- the accident data is collected at the accident site 101 and wirelessly transmitted to the insurer site 113 at the birth of the accident, h this mamier, the claims agent 115 need not be involved at the accident site 101.
- the insured 105 need not be involved in transporting the damaged automobile 103 to the insurer site 113 or any affiliated location in order to collect the damage information, as typically done in the traditional insurance industry model. This removes the claims agent 115 from the field for collecting the data associated with damaged automobile 103, which is ultimately used to identify the claims amount to be paid to the insured 105.
- the accident information collected at the accident site 101, via the PDA device 121 or the like, is wirelessly transferred to the insurer site 113 to the computer 117 and stored in a data storage device 125 coupled to the computer 117.
- the claims agent 115 may make a preliminary estimation of the damage to the automobile 103, or may determine that the damaged automobile 103 is totaled and not repairable. In either case, the claims agent 115 uses the accident information to determine a preliminary claims estimate for the insured 105.
- the computer 117 may further be equipped with an estimation software 127, or the like, operated by the claims agent 115 to assist or otherwise facilitate review and assessment of the data to identify a claims estimate for the damage to the automobile 103.

- a tow truck driver 131 is thus brought to the accident site 101 and is considered another one of the on-site personnel.
- the PDA device 121 or another PDA device similar to it is brought by the tow truck driver 131 for collecting the data in a similar manner.
- any of the on-site personnel including the insured 105 and/or the tow truck driver 131, may be employed to utilize the PDA device 121 to collect damaged data and accident information.
- the insured 105 may be equipped with the PDA device 121, or the truck driver 131 may be equipped with the PDA device 121, or both may be so equipped for redundancy to insure that the data is collected at the accident site 101.
- the truck driver 131 may be equipped with the PDA device 121, or both may be so equipped for redundancy to insure that the data is collected at the accident site 101.
- other on-site personnel may be employed to collect the data, such as policeman, an ambulance driver or paramedic, etc., although such on-site personnel typically have other duties and are unlikely candidates for data collection purposes.
- Any of the on-site personnel such as the insured 105, the tow truck driver 131, or police, ambulance driver or paramedic may be employed to call the cab company
