Abstract
A method, system, and computer program product are provided. At least some received event candidate information concerning a possible event is stored as an event candidate in a database. A dialogue is generated with an occupant of a vehicle located in a vicinity of the possible event to obtain and store information to resolve any insufficiency or ambiguity regarding the event candidate in the database. When the information stored in the database regarding the event candidate is determined to be sufficient and unambiguous the event candidate is made into an event in the database. The event is reported to at least one vehicle approaching a location corresponding to the event.
Claims18
A method of verifying and distributing information about a possible event, the method comprising:
- storing, by a computing device, at least some received event candidate information concerning the possible event as an event candidate in a database;
- generating, by the computing device, a dialogue with an occupant of a vehicle located in a vicinity of the possible event to obtain and store information to resolve any insufficiency or ambiguity regarding the event candidate in the database, a level of detail of questions asked during the dialogue depending on a speed of the vehicle;
- making, by the computing device, an event in the database from the event candidate when the information stored in the database regarding the event candidate is determined to be sufficient and unambiguous;
- and
- reporting, by the computing device, the event to at least one vehicle approaching a location corresponding to the event.
A system for verifying and distributing information about a possible event, the system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory connected to the at least one processor, the at least one processor being configured to perform:
- storing at least some received event candidate information concerning a possible event as an event candidate in a database;
- generating a dialogue with an occupant of a vehicle located in a vicinity of the possible event to obtain and store information to resolve any insufficiency or ambiguity regarding the event candidate in the event database, a level of detail of questions asked during the dialogue depending on a speed of the vehicle;
- making an event in the database from the event candidate when the information stored in the database regarding the event candidate is determined to be sufficient and unambiguous;
- and
- reporting the event to at least one vehicle approaching a location corresponding to the event.
A computer program product comprising at least one computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith for execution on at least one processor of a computing device, the computer readable program code being configured to be executed by the at least one processor to perform:
- storing at least some received event candidate information concerning a possible event as an event candidate in a database;
- generating a dialogue with an occupant of a vehicle located in a vicinity of the possible event to obtain and store information to resolve any insufficiency or ambiguity regarding the event candidate in the event database, a level of detail of questions asked during the dialogue depending on a speed of the vehicle;
- making an event in the database from the event candidate when the information stored in the database regarding the event candidate is determined to be sufficient and unambiguous;
- and
- reporting the event to at least one vehicle approaching a location corresponding to the event.
