Abstract
A method for determining the presence and/or absence of automobile insurance on State registered vehicles utilizes
registered vehicle records and insurance record databases as provided by the State and private sectors. The records
contain information indicating the presence of insurance on particular vehicles. A computer controlled by a computer
software program compares preselected data fields in each vehicle record with corresponding data in the insurance
records. Similar data field comparison(s) is (are) made between the records of the insurance database and the vehicle
database. Records lacking matching data are moved to an exceptions database for further verification and handling.
Vehicle records not having a matching insurance record are checked on a weekly basis to determine if a corresponding
insurance record has been entered subsequently into the insurance database. Vehicle records lacking insurance records
are indicative of no vehicle insurance and are delivered to authorities for further actions. Various cross checks of other
data fields between the records may be utilized to check the accuracy of the recorded data entered therein.

b. storing said vehicle records into a vehicle database;
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising the steps of:
l. selecting said corresponding index key from a selected insurance
record in said insurance database;
m. matching said index key of said selected insurance record in said
insurance database with said corresponding index key in each
vehicle record in said vehicle database;
n. copying from said insurance database said selected
insurance record into said third database if no index key match
is found in step m;
o. repeating steps l-n for all insurance records in said insurance

p. displaying said records in said third database, said records
indicative of insurance records having no corresponding
records in said vehicle database for said selected index key.
15. A method for determining the existence of insurance coverage on
a particular vehicle comprising the steps of:
a. providing a database of data records corresponding to
vehicles registered with a particular State;
b. providing a second database of data records of all insurance
policies written within the State for vehicles;
c. selecting a data field from a desired vehicle record in said State
database;
d. comparing said data field to a corresponding data field in each
record in said insurance database;
e. copying said recording from said State database into a third
database if no comparable insurance database record is found
with said compared data field therein;
f. performing steps c-e for each vehicle record in said State
database;
g. selecting a data field from a desired insurance record in said
index key;
d. encoding second input data into insurance records indicative of
insurance in force on vehicles;
e. storing said insurance records into an insurance database;
f. selecting at least one portion of each insurance record for use as
an index key corresponding to said selected index key in said vehicle
record;
g. selecting said index key from a selected vehicle record in said
vehicle database;
h. matching said index key of said selected vehicle record in said
vehicle database with said corresponding index key in each
insurance record in said insurance database;
i. flagging said selected vehicle record if no index key match is found
in step h;
j. repeating steps g-i for all vehicle records in said vehicle database;
k. moving said flagged vehicle records to an uninsured vehicle
file for further administrative handling, said flagged records
indicative of selected vehicle records having no corresponding
insurance record in said insurance database for said selected
index key.
19. The method as claimed in claim 18 further comprising the steps
of:
associating said flag with a legend indicative of the reason for
flagging said record;
