Data pattern generation, modification and management utilizing a semantic network-based graphical interface
First Claim
1. A method of utilizing emergent information, the method comprising:
- presenting a plurality of pattern components to a user, wherein pattern components from the plurality of pattern components are utilized by the user to create a customized graphical event pattern on a Graphical User Interface (GUI), and wherein the customized graphical event pattern represents emergent information that describes an event;
receiving the customized graphical event pattern from the user;
transmitting data representing the customized graphical event pattern to an interlinked array of intelligent sensors at an array location, wherein the interlinked array of intelligent sensors exchange a set of event data inputs among intelligent sensors within the interlinked array of intelligent sensors, and wherein event data inputs are generated using observations made by the intelligent sensors in the interlinked array of intelligent sensors;
determining, by the interlinked array of intelligent sensors, if the set of event data inputs meets a predetermined threshold requirement for one or more of the pattern components, wherein multiple intelligent sensors in the interlinked array of intelligent sensors vote to determine if the predetermined threshold requirement has been met; and
in response to the multiple sensors voting that the set of event data inputs meets the predetermined threshold for one or more of the pattern components, transmitting a notification signal alert to the user.

Abstract
A plurality of pattern components is presented to a user. Each of the pattern components describe events and/or sub-events that, when combined, create emergent information that indicates the occurrence of a primary event. The user builds and then transmits a customized graphical event pattern, composed of one or more pattern components, rules and other emergent information artifacts to a server, which generates an underlying database file that describes the customized graphical event pattern and/or data pattern. The data pattern is then transmitted to an intelligent sensor, server, or other detection device. If a set of event data inputs, from an interlinked array of intelligent sensors or other detection devices, meet a predetermined threshold requirement of one or more of the pattern components, the data patterns then intercommunicate and vote as to the degree to which they have collectively each detected a primary event, using the sub-events as criteria.
