SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING REAL-TIME LOCATION REVIEWS
First Claim
1. A system determining and predicting human density conditions at geographic locations, comprising;
- a computerized server connected to a wide area network (WAN) storing and executing software;
an interface including a display, provided by the software, accessible by a user from a computerized appliance connected to the WAN;
a plurality of mobile computerized devices, connected to the WAN, storing and executing an instance of the software and GPS, the software controlling environmental, audio, and video sensors connected to the plurality of mobile computerized appliances;
stationary environmental, audio and visual sensors at a first geographic location; and
stationary environmental, audio and visual sensors at a second geographic location;
wherein software at the server receives a request from the user at the interface for information indicating current conditions and predicted human density conditions at the first geographic location, controls timing of data gathering and type of data gathering at all of the sensors based upon the received request, collects at least first data from the sensors at the first geographic location, second data from the sensors at the second geographic location, and third data from the GPS and sensors at the plurality of mobile computerized appliances, transforms the first, second, and third data generating at least a graphic human density map including the first and second geographic locations, and presents the map in the display in response to the request.

Abstract
Method and system for providing real-time location previews. For example, a system and method for collecting data about activity levels, including persons waiting in queues and density of persons, as well as environmental conditions of a location from one or more client devices and/or user devices; processing the collected data to remove privacy concerns, calculate queue times, density levels and other activity levels within a defined location, and retrieve contextual and historical information, including scheduled events, relevant to determining anticipated level of activity and environmental conditions within and around a location; and making processed data available to users via communications network for purpose of previewing a location.

10. A method for determining human density and predicting conditions at geographic locations, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving a request at a computerized server connected to a wide area network (WAN) storing and executing software, the request for information indicating current conditions and predicted human density conditions at a first geographic location; (b) initiating audio and visual sensors at the first geographic location, at a second geographic location, and from sensors, including GPS, from a plurality of mobile computerized devices, the plurality of mobile communication devices executing an instance of the software; (c) controlling, by the software at the server, timing of data gathering and type of data gathering at all of the sensors based upon the received request; (d) collecting at least first data from the sensors at the first geographic location, second data from the sensors at the second geographic location, and third data from the GPS and sensors at the plurality of mobile computerized appliances; (e) transforming the first, second, and third data generating at least a graphic human density map including the first and second geographic locations; and (f) presenting the human density map in the display in response to the request. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
