Systems and Methods for the Collection Verification and Maintenance of Point of Interest Information
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for information collection and verification, the method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computing devices from each of a plurality of mobile collection devices, a plurality of information uploads respectively describing one or more attributes for a plurality of points of interest, wherein the plurality of mobile collection devices are respectively operated by a plurality of human collectors;
providing, by the one or more computing devices to a mobile verification device, the plurality of information uploads associated with a first human collector of the plurality of human collectors, wherein the mobile verification device is operated by a human verifier;
receiving, by the one or more computing devices from the mobile verification device, data indicative of an accuracy associated with one or more of the plurality of information uploads associated with the first human collector; and
determining, by the one or more computing devices or the mobile verification device, a score for the first human collector based at least in part on the data indicative of the accuracy associated with the one or more of the plurality of information uploads associated with the first human collector;
wherein the score determined for the first human collector is used at least in part to determine whether to approve the plurality of information uploads associated with the first human collector.

Abstract
Systems and methods for the collection, verification, and maintenance of point of interest information are provided. One example system includes a plurality of mobile collection devices respectively operated by a plurality of human collectors. Each of the mobile collection devices uploads to one or more intermediate servers information describing one or more attributes of a plurality of points of interest. The system includes a mobile verification device that receives, from the one or more intermediate servers, information uploaded by a first mobile collection device and provides an indication of an accuracy associated with the information received from the first mobile collection device. The system includes the one or more intermediate servers. The system includes one or more production servers. The information uploaded by the first mobile collection device is transcribed from the one or more intermediate servers to the one or more production servers.

11. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, from a mobile collection device operated by a human collector, data describing one or more attributes for each of a plurality of points of interest; providing, to a mobile verification device operated by a human verifier, the data describing the one or more attributes for each of the plurality of points of interest; receiving, from the mobile verification device, an indication of an accuracy associated with the one or more attributes for one or more of the plurality of points of interest, wherein it is determined whether the data received from the mobile collection device describing the one or more attributes for each of the plurality of points of interest should be approved based at least in part on the indication of the accuracy received from the mobile verification device; when the data received from the mobile collection device is approved, providing, to a transcription device, the data describing the one or more attributes for each of the plurality of points of interest; and receiving, from the transcription device, updated data describing the one or more attributes for each of the plurality of points of interest, wherein the updated data includes one or more edits. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for collecting information, the system comprising:
-
a plurality of mobile collection devices respectively operated by a plurality of human collectors, wherein each of the mobile collection devices uploads to one or more intermediate servers information describing one or more attributes of a plurality of points of interest; a mobile verification device, wherein the mobile verification device receives, from the one or more intermediate servers, information uploaded by a first mobile collection device of the plurality of mobile collection devices and provides an indication of an accuracy associated with the information received from the first mobile collection device, and wherein a score is calculated for the human collector of the first mobile collection device based at least in part on the indication of the accuracy provided by the mobile verification device, the score being used to assist in a determination of whether to approve the information uploaded by the first mobile collection device for transcription; the one or more intermediate servers; and one or more production servers, wherein the information uploaded by the first mobile collection device is transcribed from the one or more intermediate servers to the one or more production servers when the information is approved for transcription. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
