Abstract
An alert generation method and system. The method includes receiving by a computer processor, alert data indicating filters for specified alert types associated with possible future events. The computer processor receives monitor definition data and media generated audio/video data; compares the alert data to the media generated audio/video data; determines a first alert type matches first audio/video data of the media generated audio/video data; and determines that the first audio/video data comprises a primary event. The computer processor broadcasts the primary event.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer processor of an alert generation computing system from a user, alert data indicating filters for specified alert types associated with possible future events, wherein said specified alert types comprise primary alert types and secondary alert types;
- saving, by said computer processor, said alert data;
- receiving, by said computer processor, monitor definition data indicating primary audio/video monitors and secondary audio/video monitors for broadcasting primary and secondary audio/video data associated with said alert data;
- receiving, by said computer processor from a plurality of media sources, media generated audio/video data associated with events currently occurring at different geographical locations;
- first comparing, by said computer processor, said alert data to a first portion of said media generated audio/video data;
- first determining, by said computer processor based on results of said first comparing, that a first alert type of said specified alert types matches first audio/video data of said first portion of said media generated audio/video data;
- second determining, by said computer processor based on said results of said first comparing and said monitor definition data, that said first audio/video data comprises a primary event;
- transmitting, by said computer processor to said user, a first notice indicating that said first alert type matches said first audio/video data and that said first audio/video data comprises a primary event;
- and
- broadcasting, by said computer processor for said user on a first primary audio/video monitor of said primary audio/video monitors, said first audio/video data.
A computing system comprising a computer processor coupled to a computer-readable memory unit, said memory unit comprising instructions that when enabled by the computer processor implement an alert generation method comprising:
- receiving, by said computer processor of an alert generation computing system from a user, alert data indicating filters for specified alert types associated with possible future events, wherein said specified alert types comprise primary alert types and secondary alert types;
- saving, by said computer processor, said alert data;
- receiving, by said computer processor, monitor definition data indicating primary audio/video monitors and secondary audio/video monitors for broadcasting primary and secondary audio/video data associated with said alert data;
- receiving, by said computer processor from a plurality of media sources, media generated audio/video data associated with events currently occurring at different geographical locations;
- first comparing, by said computer processor, said alert data to a first portion of said media generated audio/video data;
- first determining, by said computer processor based on results of said first comparing, that a first alert type of said specified alert types matches first audio/video data of said first portion of said media generated audio/video data;
- second determining, by said computer processor based on said results of said first comparing and said monitor definition data, that said first audio/video data comprises a primary event;
- transmitting, by said computer processor to said user, a first notice indicating that said first alert type matches said first audio/video data and that said first audio/video data comprises a primary event;
- and
- broadcasting, by said computer processor for said user on a first primary audio/video monitor of said primary audio/video monitors, said first audio/video data.
