Abstract
A system and method involves detecting operational social disruptive events on a global scale, modeling data in conjunction with linguistics analysis to establish responsive actions, and generating visualization and executing models for communicating information.
Claims36
A computer-aided system for detecting and communicating event-related information, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more persistent storage media storing code that, when executed on the one or more processors, controls the one or more processors to implement:
- an information collection subsystem for downloading documents from information sources;
- an information storage and archive subsystem for storing the downloaded documents, one or more user-provided parameters, and at least one parameter based on indications and warnings, the indications and warnings being indicative of an event type;
- an information tagging subsystem for receiving user-provided inputs, wherein the inputs are selectable from within the documents and appended to the documents;
- an information analysis subsystem for identifying one or more of the appended documents containing the at least one parameter and storing a summary report based on the identified documents;
- and
- an information communications subsystem for receiving the summary report and transmitting or providing the summary report to a user based on the one or more user-provided parameters.
6 more elements
A computer-implemented method for detecting and communicating event-related information, comprising the steps of:
- automatically downloading at a server documents from one or more information sources containing parameters based on indications and warnings of a specific type of event;
- identifying in the server relevant indications and warnings in the downloaded documents based on the presence of the parameters or one or more keywords in the documents;
- displaying on a computer the documents containing the relevant indications and warnings;
- tagging the documents with additional information selected by a user from a menu within the documents;
- aggregating information from the documents based on their relevance to the event and storing a summary report based on the aggregated information;
- and
- outputting the summary report to a broadcast subsystem based on one or more user preferences.
4 more elements
A system for receiving user-provided inputs and outputting information to the user, comprising:
- a user-profile database associated with a first server, the database comprising at least user-provided parameters, at least one of which includes a user preference related to a mode of communicating event-related information to the user;
- a user computer comprising a program application adapted to receiving the user-provided inputs and for interfacing with the user-profile database, the program application including a graphical user interface for identifying event-related information from a database of information using parameters associated with indications and warnings of events and for tagging the identified information;
- a broadcast subsystem for receiving at least some of the tagged event-related information and outputting the same to the user based on the user-provided parameters.
