System for Image Analysis in a Network that is Structured with Multiple Layers and Differentially Weighted Neurons
First Claim
1. A method comprising, by one or more computing systems:
- receiving an image to be reviewed at one or more servers associated with an image-distribution network;
routing, using one or more processors associated with the one or more servers, the image to a first group of users, wherein each user in the first group has access to the image-distribution network;
determining, using the one or more processors, that the image qualifies for escalation;
routing, using the one or more processors, the image in accordance with a level for the escalation to a second group of users, wherein each user in the second group has access to the image-distribution network;
assessing review information transmitted by one or more users in the second group of users; and
determining a result based on the review information.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for facilitating the usage of an online workforce to remotely monitor security-sensitive sites and report potential security breaches. In some embodiments, cameras are configured to monitor critical civilian infrastructure, such as water supplies and nuclear reactors. The cameras are operatively connected to a central computer or series of computers, and images captured by the cameras are transmitted to the central computer. After initially registering with the central computer, Guardians “log on” to a central website hosted by the central computer and monitor the images, thereby earning compensation. Site owners compensate the operator of the computer system for this monitoring service, and the operator in turn compensates Guardians based on, for example, (i) the amount of time spent monitoring, and/or (ii) the degree of a given Guardian'"'"'s responsiveness to real or fabricated security breaches.

9. A system for facilitating image review using an image-distribution network, comprising
one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying one or more instructions; - and
one or more processors communicably coupled to the media and operable when executing the instructions to; receive one or more images; receive a request for review of the one or more images; route the one or more images to a first group of users, wherein each user in the first group has access to the image-distribution network; determine that the one or more images qualify for escalation; route the one or more images based on a level of the escalation to a second group of users, wherein each user in the second group has access to the image-distribution network; assess review information transmitted by one or more users in the second group of users; and determine a result based on the review information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
