Abstract

Geo-augmented data feeds are filtered based on a selection of one or more of filters to create a plurality of filtered data streams. The filtered data streams are then sent to one or more user applications for presenting to a user. For example, a user might arrange to be alerted to a data stream that references a particular location.

Claims

1. A method of aggregating a plurality of data feeds from one or more data sources, comprising:

processing each data feed to derive geographical metadata defining a respective geographical context; and

storing each data feed along with its respective geographical metadata.

2. The method of claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

examining the respective metadata of each geo-augmented stored with each data feed to identify geo-augmented data feeds having a common geographical context; and

combining the identified geo-augmented data feeds to generate a corresponding aggregated data feed.

3. A method for generating a filtered data feed stream from one or more geo-augmented data feeds comprising:

creating one or more filters;

filtering the geo-augmented data feeds based on a selection of one or more of said filters to create a plurality of filtered data streams; and

sending the filtered data streams to one or more user application for presenting.

4. The method of claim 3 further comprising:

detecting a language in said geo-augmented data feed; and

using filters specific to said language to generate said filtered data stream.

5. The method of claim 3 wherein said creating comprises:

defining a plurality of filter criteria; and

combining one or more of said filter criteria into a logical equation.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein said filter criterion includes a location.

7. The method of claim 5 wherein said filter criterion includes a type of business.

8. The method of claim 5 wherein said filter criterion includes a life event.

9. The method of claim 5 wherein said filter criterion includes synonyms or equivalent.

10. The method of claim 5 wherein said filter criterion includes the type of feed.

11. The method of claim 3 wherein said presenting further comprises:

combining one or more filtered data feed stream into a combined stream;

filtering the combined stream using one or more customized user filters to create a plurality of customized notifications; and

displaying the customized notifications.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein said displaying includes preparing a report.

13. The method of claim 11 further comprising providing recommendation on actions to take in response to a displayed notification.

14. The method of claim 11 further comprising managing one or more reaction to the displayed notification.

15. The method of claim 14 wherein said managing includes providing said reactions to an automated learning process.

16. The method of claim 14 wherein said managing includes updating said customized user filters.

17. A system for generating a plurality of filtered data feed stream from one or more geo-augmented data feeds comprising:

a filter editor to create one or more filters;

a filter engine for filtering the geo-augmented data feeds based on a selection of one or more of said filters to created a plurality of filtered data streams; and

one or more user application subscribing to one or more of said filtered data streams.
