Method and system for monitoring non-occurring events

A system for monitoring objects relating to at least one scheduled event, the system comprising:

• at least one computer server, the at least one computer server comprising:
• a module for receiving an event message related to a scheduled event;
• a filtering module for filtering the event message to identify at least one object associated with the scheduled event;
• a comparing module for comparing a current status of the at least one object with an expected status for the at least one object;
• an identification module for identifying a non-occurrence of the scheduled event based at least in part on a comparison of the current status and the expected status;
• a module for generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence and sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication;
• and a module for checking for new objects.

A computer implemented method for monitoring objects relating to at least one scheduled event, the method comprising the steps of:

• using at least one computer processor to receive an event message related to a scheduled event;
• using the at least one computer processor to filter filtering the event message to identify at least one object associated with the scheduled event;
• using the at least one computer processor to compare a current status of the at least one object with an expected status for the at least one object;
• using the at least one computer processor to identify a non-occurrence of the scheduled event based at least in part on the comparison;
• using the at least one computer processor to categorize the non-occurrence based on a scale of importance;
• using the at least one computer processor to generate a notification message identifying the non-occurrence;
• and
• using the at least one computer processor to send the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication,
• wherein the notification message and mode of communication are based at least in part on the comparison;
• wherein the preferred mode of communication comprises one or more of pager, cell phone, wireless device, PDA, instant message, and email transmission;
• and wherein the notification message comprises one of a warning message, an error message and an urgent message.

A system for monitoring objects relating to at least one scheduled event, comprising:

• at least one computer processor;
• and
• a computer-readable media comprising code that, when executed by the at least one computer processor, performs the steps of:
• receiving an event message related to a scheduled event;
• filtering the event message to identify at least one object associated with the scheduled event;
• comparing a current status of the at least one object with an expected status for the at least one object;
• identifying a non-occurrence of the scheduled event based at least in part on the step of comparing;
• generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence;
• sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication;
• and checking for new objects.
