Abstract

The discovery is related to the Internet technologies and data processing systems; in particular to collection and processing of events information aimed at organization of a system for notifying users about events, which happen at a particular place and/or at a particular time - including those, happening in the close proximity and at the present time. The goal of the discovery is to fill the information space of the users of electronic devices by informing them about the events, which are important for them or can be interesting. The claimed discovery relies on the system and means for providing and presenting events information consists of several parts (100). One part of the system is a server (101), where information from the third-party resources (102, 103, 104) is saved to the database, stored, and analyzed. The events have geographical and/or time binding. The other part of the system are the client applications installed on the users' electronic devices (105, 106, 107, 108, 109), which receive the event information from the Server directly or through other client applications. Information provided to the users through the client application is broken down into three categories: most important - the one, that is shown to a user as a notification from the client application, important - the one that is shown, when a user runs the graphic interface of the client application, and other - shown to the user after an additional search query is ran in the client application. The break-down of information by importance is done by the system Server based on the information it gets, user's settings, analysis of the user's actions and other algorithms. Users' devices may include mobile devices such as mobile phones (108) or smartphones (105), tablet computers (109), notebook (107), as well stationary computers (106).

Description

Event Information System and Method

The invention relates to Internet technologies and data processing systems, in particular, the collection and processing of information about events, with the aim of organizing informing users about events occurring at a specific time and / or a specific place, including currently and in close proximity.

Numerous geographic information systems (GIS) are known for collecting, storing, analyzing and graphically visualizing spatial data and related information about the objects represented in the GIS, in particular, as a software product that allows users to search, analyze and edit data on objects of social infrastructure, and also receive additional information about objects, such as address, work schedule, etc.

As an opponent, a system and method for remote access to a selected group of objects of interest were selected from a database (US patent NQ2002169541, 2002), where a user can access a common database from a remote communication port, generate a map at any suitable place or other information that determines the location of the selected objects of interest, including determine the geographical coordinates of the enterprise, store, architectural monuments, etc. contained in the database. For example, a user in New York can choose to display sports shops in the vicinity of Chicago O'Hare International Airport, and can also find out about the location of objects of interest in the area where he is located. However, the user does not have access to information about events taking place at his chosen objects, for example, promotions, exhibitions and other events. In addition, events can occur not at infrastructure facilities, but in an arbitrary place. The objective of the invention is to saturate the information space of users of electronic devices by informing them of events that are important to them or may be interesting.

The problem is solved by the system and method of providing users with event information (100), which is a server (101), on which, from third-party resources (102, 103, 104), a database of events with a geographical and / or temporary data is collected, stored and analyzed binding, and client applications of users installed on electronic devices of users (105, 106, 107, 108, 109), receiving information about events from the server, independently or from other client applications of users, characterized in that the information the mission provided to users through the client application is divided into three categories: the most important is the one about which the user receives notifications from the client application; important - the one that is displayed when the graphical user interface of the client application is launched; and other - the one that is available to the user when entering an additional search query in the client application.

The ranking of information by importance is carried out by the server of the system based on the analysis of incoming information, user settings, analysis of user actions and the use of other algorithms.

User devices can be either mobile devices: a mobile phone (108) or a smartphone (105), a tablet computer (109), a laptop (107), or a desktop computer (106).

The system operates as follows.

Information about events is collected by the server of the system (Server) (101) into the database (DB) formed by it from any available sources: social networks, thematic sites, various organizations and online communities, forums, news feeds, sites and agencies, etc. . (102, 103, 104), as well as the users themselves and their electronic devices (105, 106, 107, 108, 109). Client user applications (PPCs) interact with the Server via the Internet and with each other using wireless networks (108, 109). The server determines the geographic location of the checkpoint based on the data transmitted from the checkpoint, for example, but not limited to:

signal levels from WiFi, GSM, 3G, 4G, LTE and other wireless networks in the visibility range of the checkpoint;

Photo and video information in the visibility zone of the checkpoint;

other information.

The checkpoint can also independently determine its location and transmit it to the Server, for example, but not limited to:

using GPS, Glonass, etc .;

using location services provided by manufacturers of mobile devices, or operating systems of mobile devices, or mobile operators;

using third-party location services.

The PPC is informed about events by the Server via the Internet.

The checkpoint can receive information about events that occur around on its own using any means built into the user's electronic device, be it, but not limited to: camera, compass, accelerometer, gyroscope, microphone, various sensors, WiFi, GSM, 3G transceivers, 4G, LTE, etc.

Information about the events that may occur may also come from the checkpoint of other users in this case, the user's device is not required to have Internet access. PPCs can transmit information about events to each other via the Internet or via wireless networks for close interactions, for example, but not limited to: Bluetooth, NFC, etc.

PPCs can independently notify users of critical events. Users can view a list of all events by opening the PPC graphical user interface. In addition, by a search query that the User can do inside the checkpoint, he can get information about all the events in the database that correspond to the search query.

The checkpoint can inform the user about events using an audio and / or vibro signal, and / or visual information on the display / screen of the device and / or other means provided by this device. s An example of a system.

The user is approaching a specific object or subject. In this case, a meeting is an event.

Another example of an event can be a sale with discounts, which takes place in a store located on the route of the user.

Another example of the use of the invention can be the dissemination of information available to a portion of user devices to all users. Digital electronic devices equipped with a Geiger counter transmit information about the background radiation to the Server and inform their Users if, for example, the background exceeds the maximum permissible limits. On the Server, based on the collected data, a background radiation map is built. And users of devices not equipped with Geiger counters can also receive information about the background radiation from the server.

Motorists can use the system to prevent accidents. Electronic devices based on the analysis of the speed of movement and overloads can conclude about emergency braking. The server, having received information about a possible accident, notifies all nearby users that it is necessary to be careful. This may be especially true in conditions of poor visibility or icy conditions.

The system can help inform users about emergencies, while the message that the Server sends through the checkpoint to the user can be compiled by the services responsible for responding to emergencies in this territory.

The invention may also help in the investigation of incidents. At the same time, the system, based on the database analysis, forms a list of users who were at the time of the incident in the immediate vicinity of the scene (a list of potential witnesses) and sends these users a message asking them if they saw anything that could help in the investigation of the incident.

Using the proposed invention allows a person to get a more complete picture of the world, which will increase the comfort of life. In addition, monitoring what is happening around will increase the level of human security.

The invention allows to create a new communication channel that provides users with a high-quality information product, and solves the problem of increasing the information content of society.
