Abstract
A method and apparatus for notifying authors of a statistical anomaly in paperwork is described herein. During operation information within fields of the paperwork will be identified that statistically differ from information contained in other paperwork from the same incident and/or other paperwork from similar incidents.
Claims12
An apparatus comprising:
- a database configured to store paperwork describing public-safety incidents;
- logic circuitry configured to:
- receive new paperwork describing a first public-safety incident;
- access the database to determine stored similar paperwork, wherein the stored similar paperwork comprises information about multiple public-safety events similar to the first public-safety incident;
- compare information within form fields in the new paperwork to the information within form fields of the similar paperwork in order to determine anomalies in any information within form fields in the new paperwork;
- and
- output an instruction to identify any field of the new paperwork that has anomalous information.

An method comprising the steps of:
- storing paperwork describing public-safety incidents within a database;
- receiving new paperwork describing a first public-safety incident;
- accessing the database to determine stored similar paperwork, wherein the stored similar paperwork comprises information about multiple public-safety events similar to the first public-safety event;
- comparing information within form fields in the new paperwork to the information within form fields of the similar paperwork in order to determine anomalies in any information within form fields in the new paperwork;
- and
- outputting an instruction to identify any field of the new paperwork that has anomalous information.

An method comprising the steps of:
- storing paperwork describing past public-safety incidents;
- receiving new paperwork describing a first public-safety incident;
- accessing the database to determine stored similar paperwork, wherein the stored similar paperwork comprises information about multiple public-safety events similar to the first public-safety event;
- comparing information within form fields in the new paperwork to the information within form fields of the similar paperwork in order to determine anomalies in any information within form fields in the new paperwork;
- and
- outputting an instruction to identify any field of the new paperwork that has anomalous information, wherein the instruction to identify comprises an instruction to highlight, bold, italicize, circle, use a particular colored text, use a particular font, or bold text;
- and
- wherein the anomalies are determined by determining a distribution of form fields in the stored similar paperwork, and determining anomalies by determining the information within a particular form field in the new paperwork is a statistical outlier when compared to the distribution.
