Abstract

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a computer implemented method and system for monitoring objects relating to event may include receiving an event message; filtering the event message to identify at least one object; comparing a current status of the object with an expected status for the object; and identifying a non-occurrence of an event associated with the object based at least in part on the step of comparing. In addition, the method and system may further provide generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence; and sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method for monitoring objects relating to events, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving an event message;

filtering the event message to identify at least one object;

comparing a current status of the object with an expected status for the object; and

identifying a non-occurrence of an event associated with the object based at least in part on the step of comparing.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:

generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence; and

sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising step of:

categorizing the non-occurrence based on a scale of importance.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the notification message and mode of communication are based at least in part on the step of categorizing.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the preferred mode of communication comprises one or more of pager, cell phone, wireless device, PDA, instant message, and email transmission.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the notification message comprises one of a warning message, an error message and an urgent message.

7. The method of claim 2, further comprising the step of:

after sending the notification message, determining whether the current status meets the expected status; and

sending an OK message canceling out the notification message.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of:

checking for new objects.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the steps of generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence;

and sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication are performed on a separate platform.

10. A computer readable media comprising code to perform the acts of the method of claim 1

11. A computer implemented system for monitoring objects relating to events, the system comprising:

a module for receiving an event message;

a filtering module for filtering the event message to identify at least one object;

a comparing module for comparing a current status of the object with an expected status for the object; and

an identification module for identifying a non-occurrence of an event associated with the object based at least in part on a comparison of the current status and the expected status.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

a module for generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence; and

sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the non-occurrence is categorized based on a scale of importance.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the notification message and mode of communication are based at least in part on the step of categorizing.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the preferred mode of communication comprises one or more of pager, cell phone, wireless device, PDA, instant message, and email transmission.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the notification message comprises one of a warning message, an error message and an urgent message.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein after sending the notification message, a determination is made as to whether the current status meets the expected status;

and wherein an OK message is sent to cancel out the notification message.

18. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

a module for checking for new objects.

19. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

a separate platform for generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence;

and sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication.

20. A computer implemented method for monitoring objects relating to events, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving an event message;

filtering the event message to identify at least one object;

comparing a current status of the object with an expected status for the object; and

identifying a non-occurrence of an event associated with the object based at least in part on the step of comparing;

categorizing the non-occurrence based on a scale of importance;

generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence; and

sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication.

wherein the notification message and mode of communication are based at least in part on the step of categorizing;

wherein the preferred mode of communication comprises one or more of pager, cell phone, wireless device, PDA, instant message, and email transmission; and

wherein the notification message comprises one of a warning message, an error message and an urgent message.
