Geographic Risk Rating System Using Automated Data Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for providing geographic-specific risk ratings to travelers are often delayed due to reliance on manually intensive and subjective methods, primarily focused on specific events rather than overall location risks, and lack objective, real-time data updates.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for automatically generating and communicating geographic-specific risk ratings by gathering and analyzing unstructured and structured data from various sources, using algorithms to derive risk ratings objectively and update them in real-time, accessible through remote communications devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual methods are used to generate risk ratings, then subjective expertise can be applied, but the process becomes time-consuming and delayed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical processes of risk assessment with automated computer-based systems that collect, process, and analyze data from multiple sources algorithmically, eliminating human subjective bias and significantly reducing processing time while maintaining or improving accuracy through systematic evaluation of objective criteria
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables automatic self-updating of risk ratings by continuously collecting data from multiple sources, processing it through predefined algorithms, and generating updated assessments without requiring manual intervention, thereby achieving both timely updates and consistent accuracy
2Loss of information
If specific event-focused data collection is used, then detailed incident information is obtained, but overall location risk assessment is neglected
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a multi-functional data collection system that simultaneously gathers information about specific events, general location conditions, environmental factors, and other risk-relevant data through integrated sources including news feeds, social media, government advisories, and weather services, providing comprehensive risk assessment capability
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments data collection into multiple specialized channels (news sources, social media platforms, government sources, weather services) that each capture specific types of information, then integrates these segmented data streams through algorithmic processing to produce a unified comprehensive risk rating
3Productivity
If real-time automated data processing is implemented, then up-to-date risk ratings are generated, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex manual data processing operations with automated computer-based algorithms that systematically collect, filter, analyze, and update risk ratings in real-time, achieving high productivity through machine automation while managing system complexity through standardized processing protocols and integrated software architecture
Data Source
AI summary
A system (1) for automatically generating geographic specific data. System (1) includes a first database (5) for storing a first set of records, wherein each record includes location data, content data and timestamp data. A second database (15) stores a second set of data records, wherein each record includes location data, content data and timestamp data. A third database (25) stores a third set of records, wherein each record is indicative of a respective geographic location. A communications interface (31) receives unstructured data (32) from data sources (33) and structured data (34) from data sources (35). System (1) includes a computing platform (50) which is responsive to the unstructured data (32) for selectively updating the first set of records, responsive to the structured data (34) for selectively updating the second set of records, and responsive to the first and second set of records for generating geographic specific data in the form of a risk rating for each location.
