Description

Crowdsourcing-based data acquisition and processing method and system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electronic communication and computer automation processing, in particular to a data acquisition and processing method and system based on crowdsourcing.
Background
In order to prevent and treat accident disasters, natural disasters and social security cases or develop health management, organizations such as governments, enterprises and social organizations need to monitor specific objects in real time, and therefore, a proper monitoring system is required to be established and special equipment and personnel are equipped. For example, a geological disaster area is monitored through a camera, the running condition of a long-distance passenger vehicle is monitored through a vehicle-mounted system with the functions of camera shooting/photographing, satellite positioning and speed measurement, and the health state of a human body is monitored through a medical instrument.
The prior art has defects in two links of data acquisition and data processing. In terms of data acquisition, only a specific object to which a monitoring device is previously installed can be monitored. Because the system dilatation cost is big, there are a large amount of monitoring blind areas. In terms of data processing, relying primarily on the facilities and staff of the organization itself, the amount of increase in monitoring data often exceeds the data processing capabilities of the organization.
Cloud computing can make up for some of the deficiencies of the above technologies in some ways, acquiring dynamic, easily expandable, virtualized resources through the internet (including mobile internet) to collect and process data. The cloud computing architecture of the smart city is composed of modules such as perception, transmission, storage and processing. A plurality of monitoring devices sense the field situation and transmit mass information through wired and wireless communication networks. Many organizations establish "private cloud" data acquisition and processing systems. In the intelligent terminals of the staff, such as mobile phones, tablet computers and the like, customized clients can be installed for acquiring video, audio and image data and even completing simple data processing tasks, such as medical image interpretation and remote consultation participation of doctors through the Internet. However, the resource integration capability of the private cloud which only the employees of the mechanism participate in is far weaker than that of the public cloud which the common public participates in. This also means that even if cloud computing technology is introduced in the prior art, the working efficiency and the acquisition accuracy of the prior art cannot reach ideal values.
The prior art also has drawbacks in terms of privacy protection. In the big data era, the internet releases mass data every moment. Wearable devices record health indexes, behavior habits and life preferences, and privacy protection is also greatly challenged. The data is hidden from the back of the client, and the staff of the institution often privately reveals the client information.

For a better understanding and explanation of the present invention, reference will now be made in detail to the present invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
The present invention provides a data acquisition and processing method based on crowdsourcing, please refer to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flow chart of an embodiment of the data acquisition and processing method based on crowdsourcing according to the present invention, the method includes:
step S101, an acquisition terminal acquires data aiming at a monitored target to generate original acquisition data and sends the original acquisition data to a processing platform;
step S102, the processing platform receives the original acquisition data and processes the original acquisition data to generate corresponding distribution data;
step S103, the processing platform forwards the distribution data to at least one voting terminal;

step S105, the voting terminal transmits the voting data back to the processing platform;
step S106, the processing platform forwards the original collected data/the distributed data and a statistical result generated according to the voting data to at least one display terminal according to a preset rule;
step S107, the display terminal receives and displays the original acquisition data/the distribution data and the statistical result.
In particular, the crowdsourcing-based data acquisition and processing method provided by the invention is suitable for various monitoring scenes which can generate a large amount of data. In step S101, the monitored target includes, but is not limited to, weather, natural disasters, accidents, people, institutions, homes, transportation vehicles, public places, and the like, and accordingly, the acquisition terminal needs to be configured to adapt to the type of the monitored target, which includes, but is not limited to, a smart phone, a tablet computer, a smart home appliance, a monitoring camera, a wearable device, a sensor device, a vehicle recorder, or a vehicle-mounted positioning device.
For example, the monitored target is a traffic vehicle such as a passenger vehicle, the factors to be monitored by the traffic vehicle include a driving route, an overload condition and the like, and the acquisition terminal may be a vehicle-mounted camera, a vehicle-mounted satellite positioning device and the like corresponding to the type of the monitored target; such as weather conditions (including weather factors such as rainfall and temperature) and fire conditions (including factors such as temperature, smoke and strong light) of a certain region, the collecting terminal can be a terminal device integrating one or more of a temperature sensor, a smoke sensor, a rain sensor and a light sensor; for example, the monitored target is road traffic condition, natural disaster, accident, public place event, and the type of monitored target is usually realized by using data carriers such as video and image, so the acquisition terminal may be a monitoring camera installed at a fixed position, or may be a vehicle data recorder or a smart phone or a tablet computer having a camera shooting function.
No matter which type of monitored target is targeted, the acquisition terminal performs data acquisition on the monitored target in step S101 to generate raw acquisition data, and sends the raw acquisition data to a processing platform. The collection terminal and the processing platform are connected through the internet (mobile internet), a local area network or a proprietary network to realize data communication, for example, the collection terminal and the processing platform are communicated through a wired/wireless network provided by a communication operator.
Based on the consideration of introducing a voting mechanism using a crowdsourcing principle to improve the monitoring universality and accuracy, in step S102, the processing platform receives the raw collected data and processes the raw collected data to generate corresponding distribution data. Typically, the raw collected data includes sensitive information related to the collecting terminal and the monitored target, some of which are used to identify the real identity of the collecting terminal and the user of the monitored target or the real equipment information of the collecting terminal, and other of which (e.g. license plate of motor vehicle) are used to identify the monitored target, and monitoring information related to the monitored target, which is data information reflecting the condition of the monitored target. For some specific monitored targets, in order to avoid privacy disclosure, consideration must be given to separate the sensitive information from the monitored information and then distribute the sensitive information. Therefore, the processing the raw collected data to generate corresponding distribution data in step S102 specifically includes: removing the sensitive information from the raw collected data and retaining the monitoring information to generate the distribution data. Typically, the sensitive information includes: the system comprises a monitoring terminal, a collecting terminal and a positioning terminal, wherein the monitoring terminal is used for monitoring the geographical position of the monitoring terminal, the collecting terminal is used for collecting the identification code of the equipment of the monitoring terminal, the identification code of the monitoring terminal is used for identifying the equipment of the monitoring terminal, and the positioning information generated according to the geographical position of the monitoring terminal is any one or the combination of the identification identifier of the collecting terminal and the user related. Specifically, the identity identifier includes any one or a combination of a name, a mechanism name, a resident identification card number, a military identification card number, a driving license number, a social security number, a student identification card number, a bank account number, a motor vehicle license plate, a mobile phone number and a user name; the positioning information includes any one or a combination of network address positioning (such as an IP address), wifi positioning, base station positioning, and satellite positioning information, where the wifi positioning, base station positioning, and satellite positioning information refer to geographical latitude and longitude. In another aspect, the monitoring information includes: any one or combination of video, audio, image, text, numbers, characters, and sensor signals. The monitoring information may be generated by software/hardware logic preset in the acquisition terminal, or may be generated by a user of the acquisition terminal operating the acquisition terminal.
For example, in a typical embodiment, the monitored target is a passenger vehicle, on one hand, an overload condition of the passenger vehicle needs to be monitored, and on the other hand, a driving route of the passenger vehicle needs to be monitored, in this embodiment, the acquisition terminal is an onboard camera and an onboard satellite positioning device installed on the passenger vehicle, the sensitive information is a license plate ID of a motor vehicle pre-bound by the onboard camera and the onboard satellite positioning device, and the monitoring information is a passenger load condition in a compartment recorded by the onboard camera and a driving route calculated according to the onboard satellite positioning device. In another exemplary embodiment, the monitored target is the natural disaster, such as road landslide caused by earthquake, due to the sporadic nature of the natural disaster, it is impossible to install enough cameras to monitor all sections of the road, so that the general public can participate in condition monitoring and data acquisition in a crowdsourcing manner, the acquisition terminal is a handheld smart device, such as a smart phone or a tablet computer, which is used by an acquirer and accesses to the internet (mobile internet), the monitoring information is a video or an image, the monitoring information is triggered by an application program (such as a mobile phone App) installed on the handheld smart device to be acquired, the sensitive information is an identity identifier set by the acquirer by operating the application program in advance, and the identity identifier includes a name, an organization name, a resident identification number, a name of the acquirer, an organization name of the acquirer, a name of the resident identification number, a name, The system comprises a road monitoring system, a road monitoring system and sensitive information, wherein the road monitoring system comprises any one or combination of a military certificate number, a driving license number, a social security number, a student certificate number, a bank account number, a motor vehicle license plate, a mobile phone number and a user name, and the sensitive information also comprises the geographic coordinates of the monitored road.
In step S103, referring to a crowdsourcing principle, the processing platform forwards the distribution data to at least one voting terminal, and the processing platform and the voting terminal are connected through the internet (mobile internet), a local area network, or a proprietary network to implement data communication, for example, the collection terminal and the processing platform communicate through a wired/wireless network provided by an internet operator. The forwarding may be performed according to predetermined forwarding rules, e.g. based on the dedicated network, geographical location information, voting authority of the at least one voting terminal.
In step S104, the voting terminal receives the distribution data and generates voting data for the distribution data. Specifically, the voting data includes: the evaluation information is triggered by an operator of the voting terminal and used for reflecting the evaluation tendency of the operator for the distribution data, or the voting terminal evaluates and calculates the distribution data according to preset logic to generate evaluation result information. For example, in some embodiments, the distribution data is a video or an image, if machine identification is completed only by means of a computer program, a large amount of computational resources are required, manual identification is introduced for cost reduction, and in order to meet the above scenario, the voting terminal includes but is not limited to a smart phone, a tablet computer, and a personal computer, and the video or the image is displayed on the voting terminal so that an operator of the voting terminal can judge authenticity and reliability of the distribution data. Typically, the operator operates the voting terminal, evaluates the distribution data to generate the evaluation information, for example, the evaluation information is used for reflecting the evaluation tendency of the operator for the distribution data, for example, whether the distribution data is in a positive attitude or a negative attitude (specifically, the positive attitude can be represented by "yes" or "true", and the negative attitude can be represented by "no" or "false"). In other embodiments, the distribution data is a sensor signal, such as a temperature value, a smoke concentration value, a light intensity value, etc., and the distribution data may be evaluated and calculated using preset logic preset in the voting terminal to generate the evaluation result information, for example, when the temperature value exceeds a temperature threshold value, the evaluation result information including an early warning signal is sent out, and the distribution data is determined to be a fire emergency condition. In this embodiment, the voting terminal may be a server or other automation device pre-installed with the preset logic.
In step S105, the voting terminal transmits the voting data back to the processing platform. Optionally, the voting terminal further transmits distribution data corresponding to the voting data back to the processing platform. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the processing platform receives voting data returned by a plurality of the voting terminals, which operate discretely in space and time.
In step S106, the processing platform forwards the raw collected data/the distributed data and the statistical result generated according to the voting data to at least one display terminal according to a predetermined rule. And in step S107, the display terminal receives and displays the raw collected data/the distributed data and the statistical result. Specifically, the statistical result is a combination of the sensitive information and the voting data, and the statistical result is used for reflecting the real state of the monitored target. According to the crowdsourcing principle, since it is usually difficult for one piece of voting data to objectively reflect the accuracy of the distribution data, the processing platform needs to generate an accurate statistical result according to one or more pieces of voting data, for example, the voting data includes the number of people with positive attitude and the number of people with negative attitude for the distribution data, and the statistical result is formed according to the minority-compliant majority principle. The predetermined rule specifies a network path for the processing platform to forward the raw collected data/the distributed data and the statistical result, and the network path may be determined by geographic Location information, target IP, and other factors, for example, Location Based Service (LBS) may be implemented by geographic coordinates. Referring to the emergency treatment scheme of the existing monitoring system, the display terminal may be a handheld terminal responsible for monitoring the person of the monitored target, or may be a display device of the emergency treatment system. Typically, the display terminal is an external display of a fire-fighting early warning system, or the display terminal is a handheld intelligent device of a district traffic police. The present invention does not specifically limit the implementation manner of the display terminal, and the display devices of various emergency processing devices and emergency processing systems in the prior art can be regarded as the display terminal.
On the premise of introducing manual judgment, in order to improve the enthusiasm of the participating crowdsourcing users, the invention may further include an additional step, please refer to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart of a preferred embodiment of the crowdsourcing-based data collecting and processing method according to the invention, referring to the description of fig. 1 in the foregoing, as shown in fig. 2, after step S105, the crowdsourcing-based data collecting and processing method further includes step S108, in which the processing platform updates the integral value of the associated user of the voting terminal according to the reward rule. And the associated user is the user identity of the operator which is bound with the voting terminal in advance. The reward rule assumes a point add/drop rule, with each correct vote record increasing the point of the associated user and each false vote record decreasing the point of the associated user. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that step S108 in the method is not limited to be performed after step S105 and before step S106 in terms of time continuity, that is, the steps S106 and S107 are performed independently of the completion of step S108.
