SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADAPTIVELY IDENTIFYING AND MITIGATING STATISTICAL OUTLIERS IN AGGREGATED DATA
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a storage device; and
at least one processor coupled to the storage device, the storage device storing software instructions for controlling the at least one processor when executed by the at least one processor, and the at least one processor being operative with the software instructions and configured to;
obtain aggregated data collected by a plurality of first communications devices;
detect at least one data outlier within the aggregated data, the data outlier corresponding to at least one element of the aggregated data;
transmit information identifying the data outlier and at least a portion of the aggregated data that includes the data outlier to a second communications device, the information instructing the second communications device to present the aggregated data portion to a user, and the data outlier being visually distinguishable within the presented aggregated data portion;
in response to the transmitted information, receive a request to modify the aggregated data from the second communications device; and
perform operations that modify at least a portion of the aggregated data in accordance with the received request.

Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods and systems that facilitate automated detection and precision correction of aggregated data collected by multiple, geographically dispersed mobile communications devices. In one embodiment, an apparatus detect a data outlier within portions of the aggregated data having numerical and/or categorical values. The apparatus may transmit information identifying the data outliner and a portion of the aggregated data that includes the data outlier to an additional communications device, which may present the aggregated data portion to a user in a manner that visually distinguishes the data outlined from other elements of aggregated data. In response to a request from the additional communications device, the apparatus may modify portions of the aggregated data in an effort to mitigate the data outlier.

11. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
-
obtaining, by at least one processor, aggregated data collected by a plurality of first communications devices; detecting, by at least one processor, at least one data outlier within the aggregated data, the data outlier corresponding to at least one element of the aggregated data; generating, by at least one processor, an electronic command to transmit information identifying the data outlier and at least a portion of the aggregated data that includes the data outlier to a second communications device, the information instructing the second communications device to present the aggregated data portion to a user, and the data outlier being visually distinguishable within the presented aggregated data portion; in response to the transmitted information, receiving, by at least one processor, a request to modify the aggregated data from the second communications device; and performing, by at least one processor, operations that modify at least a portion of the aggregated data in accordance with the received request. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

20. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, perform a method comprising:
-
obtaining aggregated data collected by a plurality of first communications devices; detecting at least one data outlier within the aggregated data, the data outlier corresponding to at least one element of the aggregated data; generating an electronic command to transmit information identifying the data outlier and at least a portion of the aggregated data that includes the data outlier to a second communications device, the information instructing the second communications device to present the aggregated data portion to a user, and the data outlier being visually distinguishable within the presented aggregated data portion; in response to the transmitted information, receiving a request to modify the aggregated data from the second communications device; and performing operations that modify at least a portion of the aggregated data in accordance with the received request.
