Abstract
A system notifies a user of the detection of data that is relevant to an event of interest. The system obtains a user profile that includes one or more example documents that define the event. The system receives data that corresponds to multimedia information and determines the relevance of the data to the event based on the one or more example documents. The system notifies the user when the data is determined to be relevant.
Claims34
A method for identifying documents that are relevant to an event of interest, comprising:
- receiving, from a user, one or more example documents that define the event;
- obtaining documents in real time that correspond to information created in a plurality of media formats;
- determining relevance of the documents to the event based on the one or more example documents;
- and
- alerting the user when one or more of the documents are determined to be relevant.
A system for identifying data that is relevant to an event of interest, comprising:
- means for obtaining, from a user, a user profile that includes one or more example documents that define the event;
- means for receiving real-time data that corresponds to multimedia information;
- means for determining relevance of the data to the event based on the one or more example documents;
- and
- means for notifying the user when the data is determined to be relevant.
An event tracking system, comprising:
- collection logic configured to:
- receive data items that include textual representations of multimedia information;
- and
- tracking logic configured to:
- obtain a user profile that includes one or more example documents that define an event for which a user desires data,
- determine relevance of the data items received by the collection logic to the event based on the user profile, and
- send an alert to the user when at least one of the data items is determined to be relevant.
A computer-readable medium that stores instructions which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform a method for notifying a user of documents that are relevant to an event of interest, the computer-readable medium comprising:
- instructions for obtaining at least one example document that defines the event;
- instructions for acquiring real-time documents corresponding to information created in a plurality of media formats;
- instructions for determining relevance of the real-time documents to the event based on the at least one example document;
- and
- instructions for notifying the user when one or more of the real-time documents are determined to be relevant.
An event tracking system, comprising:
- one or more indexers configured to:
- capture data, the data including at least one of audio data, video data, and text data, and
- transcribe the data when the data is the audio data or the video data to create text data;
- and
- alert logic configured to:
- receive at least one example document that defines an event for which a user desires information,
- receive the text data from the one or more indexers,
- determine relevance of the text data to the event based on the at least one example document, and
- alert the user when the text data is determined to be relevant.
A method for notifying a user of documents that are relevant to an event of interest, comprising:
- receiving one or more example documents that define the event;
- obtaining a plurality of types of media documents;
- using a model-based approach to determine relevance of the media documents to the event based on the one or more example documents;
- and
- alerting the user when one or more of the media documents are determined to be relevant.
