## Abstract

Disclosed herein is a system for handling critical incidents form external control, information and networking systems. In one embodiment, the system includes a mapping module, a presentation formatting module, a distribution module, and a least one display device (i.e., computer, mobile device, video wall display). The mapping module is configured to receive alert information from external systems, search for information relevant to the critical incident, and aggregate the alert information and relevant information into a persistent arrangement that maps the source of such information. The presentation formatting module is configured to define a visual data presentation that allows for displaying alert information and relevant information in a useful format. The distribution module is configured to send the visual data presentation to one or more end-points. The display device(s) is located at such an end-point(s) and configured to receive and display the visual data presentation to personnel responsible for mitigating and curing the critical incident.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for automating the collection, aggregation, distribution, and display of alert information, comprising the steps of:
receiving alert information regarding a critical incident for a computer, telecommunications, or electrical system;
searching in an automated manner accessible systems and databases for relevant information for the critical incident;
aggregating the alert information and relevant information into a persistent arrangement that maps the information to the source of the information;
formatting the information into a visual data presentation for display across multiple display devices;
distributing the visual data presentation to one or more endpoints; and
displaying the visual data presentation at the one or more end-points.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the end-point includes a video wall display, personal computer, or mobile device that receives and displays the visual data presentation.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, further comprising the step of a user added data and information to the visual data presentation.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, further comprising the step of recording and storing the visual data presentation.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method of claim 4, further comprising the step of distributing and replaying on demand the visual data presentation at one or more end-points.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of standardizing the alert information.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising arranging the visual data presentation with a defined overall pixel space.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of identifying and indexing the visual data presentation as visual data of a single critical incident to be interacted with through collaborative tools and to be shared with users.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the step of searching in an automated manner accessible systems and databases for relevant information for the critical incident includes access to at least one external database.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the display visual data presentation includes at least one of the following: graphical data, a dashboard, tabular data, a video stream from a surveillance camera, a news report, a weather broadcast, geographical information, a photograph, a video clip, a webpage, or a social media post.

### Claim 11 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, further comprising the step of a user modifying data and information of the visual data presentation.

### Claim 12 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, further comprising the step of a plurality of users adding data and information to the visual data presentation.

### Claim 13 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, further comprising the step of a plurality of users modifying data and information of the visual data presentation.
