US 2021/0264541 A1 · COMMUNITY WATCH WITH BOT BASED UNIFIED SOCIAL NETWORK GROUPS

Abstract

The present disclosure includes the methods, processes, and systems of a novel community watch with bot-based unified social network groups. The new community watch comprises chatbots, artificial intelligence (AI) engine, social network messaging platforms used by community watch groups with security services based on identity recognition technology and physical threat intelligent information technology. This process turns meaningless text, sensor data, images and videos into context-based physical security information to be analyzed by the/a physical security information and event management system. The analyzed messaging platforms and varieties of activity options. The various said groups in the heterogeneous social networking and messaging platforms are combined and fused into the unified social network groups through the bots. The present disclosure nicely adapts and integrates new technologies and modern society. The bots and unified social network groups allow users to easily and intuitively use and interact with the community watch system, so the improved process and system can be more widely established, used, and made more effective in adding community security and protecting people.
