Prioritizing and Routing Emergent Activity Reports
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively prioritize and route emergent activity reports to the appropriate communities of interest in a timely manner, leading to inefficiencies in responding to adverse events or opportunities, as reports are often not prioritized correctly or shared widely enough.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for prioritizing and routing emergent activity reports using analytic processes that include content extraction, sender profiling, risk analytics, and geospatial analysis, which score and filter reports based on credibility, temporal relevance, geographical proximity, and risk impact, ensuring that critical information is routed to the right communities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If analytic processes are implemented to prioritize and route emergent activity reports, then information routing efficiency and risk mitigation are improved, but system complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the complex prioritization task into multiple independent analytic processes including content extraction, sender profiling, risk analytics, and geospatial analysis. Each process handles a specific aspect of report evaluation, making the overall system more manageable and maintainable while improving routing efficiency
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary prioritization system that sits between report submission and final routing. This intermediary layer processes reports through multiple analytic filters and scores them before delivery, acting as a mediator that improves information quality while distributing system complexity across modular components
2Reliability
If multiple analytic processes are used to score and filter reports, then information accuracy and reliability are improved, but processing duration and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing sender profiles, risk thresholds, and geospatial parameters before actual report processing. This pre-computation allows faster real-time scoring when reports arrive, improving accuracy without proportionally increasing processing time for each report
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by selectively applying different analytic processes based on report characteristics. Not all reports undergo the full suite of analyses - the system adjusts the depth of analysis based on initial screening, applying more rigorous filtering only when necessary to maintain information accuracy while managing processing time
3Productivity
If reports are prioritized and routed to specific communities of interest, then response effectiveness is improved, but information sharing scope is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies local quality by tailoring information distribution to specific communities of interest based on their unique needs and characteristics. Different communities receive prioritized subsets of reports most relevant to their functions, improving response effectiveness for each group while maintaining overall system versatility through customizable routing rules
Data Source
AI summary
A method and system for prioritizing and reporting an observation is disclosed. The observation is preferably received from a mobile device that determines a location of the observation and provides a user of the mobile device with a preselected list of classifications for the observation. The observation is prioritized based at least in part on the location and the classification associated with the observation. The priority may depend on a distance between the location in the observation and a catalog of objects of interest. The priority may also depend on the existence of other observations having the same classification within a threshold distance of the observation. The prioritized observation is routed to appropriate personnel based on the determined priority. The prioritized observation may also be included in an ordered list based on priority and/or rendered in a geospatial view with at least one display attribute being based on the priority.
