Method and system for monitoring non-occurring events
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for monitoring objects relating to at least one scheduled event, the method comprising the steps of:
- using at least one computer processor to receive an event message related to a scheduled event;
using the at least one computer processor to filter the event message to identify at least one object associated with the scheduled event;
using the at least one computer processor to compare a current status of the at least one object with an expected status for the at least one object;
using the at least one computer processor to identify a non-occurrence of the scheduled event based at least in part on the comparison;
using the at least one computer processor to generate a notification message identifying the non-occurrence;
using the at least one computer processor to send the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication; and
using the at least one computer processor to check for new objects.

Abstract
According to an embodiment of the present invention, a computer implemented method and system for monitoring objects relating to event may include receiving an event message; filtering the event message to identify at least one object; comparing a current status of the object with an expected status for the object; and identifying a non-occurrence of an event associated with the object based at least in part on the step of comparing. In addition, the method and system may further provide generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence; and sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication.

8. A system for monitoring objects relating to at least one scheduled event, the system comprising:
at least one computer server, the at least one computer server comprising; a module for receiving an event message related to a scheduled event; a filtering module for filtering the event message to identify at least one object associated with the scheduled event; a comparing module for comparing a current status of the at least one object with an expected status for the at least one object; an identification module for identifying a non-occurrence of the scheduled event based at least in part on a comparison of the current status and the expected status;
a module for generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence and sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication; and
a module for checking for new objects.- View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer implemented method for monitoring objects relating to at least one scheduled event, the method comprising the steps of:
-
using at least one computer processor to receive an event message related to a scheduled event; using the at least one computer processor to filter filtering the event message to identify at least one object associated with the scheduled event; using the at least one computer processor to compare a current status of the at least one object with an expected status for the at least one object; using the at least one computer processor to identify a non-occurrence of the scheduled event based at least in part on the comparison; using the at least one computer processor to categorize the non-occurrence based on a scale of importance; using the at least one computer processor to generate a notification message identifying the non-occurrence; and using the at least one computer processor to send the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication, wherein the notification message and mode of communication are based at least in part on the comparison;
wherein the preferred mode of communication comprises one or more of pager, cell phone, wireless device, PDA, instant message, and email transmission; and
wherein the notification message comprises one of a warning message, an error message and an urgent message.

16. A system for monitoring objects relating to at least one scheduled event, comprising:
-
at least one computer processor; and a computer-readable media comprising code that, when executed by the at least one computer processor, performs the steps of; receiving an event message related to a scheduled event; filtering the event message to identify at least one object associated with the scheduled event; comparing a current status of the at least one object with an expected status for the at least one object; identifying a non-occurrence of the scheduled event based at least in part on the step of comparing;
generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence;
sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication; and
checking for new objects.
