Abstract
A method and system are disclosed which calculates a consistency score for a political figure based on social media, speeches, news articles, or other information sources, as well as the political figure's voting record. The method and system determine the political representatives for a user based on the user's geographical location, and present information on various political figures to the user. The method and system are also capable of providing communication between multiple users, as well as between users and political figures. The method and system also allow for users to send physical letters to political figures, and for political figures to send messages to users.
Claims13
A computer-implemented method for providing a user with information on political figures that represent the user, the method comprising:
- receiving data from a user, the data comprising at least a location of the user and demographic information of the user;
- determining at least one first political figure that represents the user in at least one of a local, state, and federal government based on the location of the user and data provided by the at least one of the local, state, and federal government;
- identifying through natural language processing at least one key phrase from at least one of social media posts, speech text, and news articles related to the at least one first political figure;
- assigning the at least one key phrase to a predetermined issue;
- identifying through natural language processing a number of modifying words near the at least one key phrase;
- calculating an issue score for the predetermined issue based at least partially on the at least one key phrase and the number of modifying words, wherein the issue score represents the belief of the at least one first political figure about the predetermined issue;
- identifying through natural language processing the predetermined issue within a public bill;
- determining a voting record of the at least one first political figure on the public bill;
- calculating a weighted voting record for the predetermined issue based at least partially on a comparison between the predetermined issue within the public bill and the voting record of the at least one first political figure on the public bill;
- generating, by a neural network, a consistency score based at least partially on the issue score and the weighted voting record;
- and
- providing to the user a first graphical display representing the consistency score for the at least one first political figure.
A computer-implemented method for providing communication between a user and a political figure, the method comprising:
- providing the user with a number of information entry fields;
- receiving from the user a first set of information in the number of entry fields, the first set of information including at least one of the user's name, location, political party, and gender;
- storing the first set of information in a database;
- generating a user account for the user, wherein the user account is associated with the first set of information;
- selecting by the user at least one political figure;
- providing to the user a profile for the at least one political figure;
- providing to the user a question from the at least one political figure;
- receiving a response from the user to the question, and sending the response to the at least one political figure;
- receiving a message from the at least one political figure, the message comprising at least one of text, video, and audio;
- displaying the message to the user;
- and
- displaying at least one meter to the user in the profile for the at least one political figure, the at least one meter representing at least one of a consistency score and a weighted issue score for the at least one political figure, wherein the consistency score and weighted issue score are calculated by a neural network algorithm based on information from a number of social media posts related to the at least one political figure.
