SENSOR INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A method performed by a first system comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform the method, the method comprising:
- receiving first environmental information from a first mobile sensor platform, the first environmental information being measured by at least a first sensor associated with the first mobile sensor platform and being associated with a first geographic location;
receiving second environmental information from a second mobile sensor platform, the second environmental information being measured by at least a second sensor associated with the second mobile sensor platform and being associated with a second geographic location;
determining that the first geographic location and the second geographic location are located within a first threshold distance;
determining a difference between the first environmental information and the second environmental information;
comparing the difference with a threshold; and
adjusting a first weight associated with the first environmental information and a second weight associated with the second environmental information based on the results of the comparison.

Abstract
This disclosure relates to systems and methods for management of information, including environmental information, obtained by a variety of sensors associated with one or more distributed mobile sensor platforms. In certain embodiments, the geographically transitory nature of a mobile sensor platform may be leveraged to facilitate collection of environmental information over a larger geographic area than that of a fixed sensor platform. Embodiments disclosed herein provide for information consistency and/or quality checking of information obtained by mobile sensor platforms. Further embodiments may be used to incentivize the collection and/or acquisition of certain data via point and/or credit based compensation.
