First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
- fact checking a fact check result of information by comparing, by the device, the fact check result with information from a source to determine factual accuracy of the fact check result;
automatically indicating a status of the fact check result based on a re-fact check result from comparison of the fact check result with the information from the source;
wherein the status of the fact check result is indicated in real-time.

Abstract
A fact checking system is able to verify the correctness of information and/or characterize information by comparing the information with one or more sources. The fact checking system automatically monitors, processes, fact checks information and indicates a status of the information. Fact checking results are able to be validated by re-fact checking the fact check results.

18. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
-
fact checking a fact check result of information by comparing, by the device, the fact check result with information from a source to determine factual accuracy of the fact check result; automatically indicating a status of the fact check result based on a re-fact check result from comparison of the fact check result with information from the source; providing a reason why the fact check result was incorrect if the fact check result is disproved.

19. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
-
receiving flagging information flagging a fact check result, wherein the fact check result includes target information and a factual accuracy of the target information; fact checking the fact check result of the target information by comparing, with the device, the fact check result with information from a source to determine the factual accuracy of the fact check result, wherein the fact check result is only fact checked if a number of users flagging the fact check result exceeds a threshold, further wherein the information from the source is from a different source than information from a previous source used to determine the fact check result; automatically indicating a status of the fact check result based on a re-fact check result from comparison of the fact check result with the information from the source.

20. A device comprising:
-
a memory for storing an application for automatically performing; receiving voice command flagging information flagging a fact check result of a previous fact check; fact checking the fact check result of information by comparing the fact check result with information from a source to determine factual accuracy of the fact check result, wherein the fact check result is only fact checked if a number of users flagging the fact check result exceeds a threshold, further wherein the information from the source is from a different source than information from a previous source used to determine the fact check result, further wherein the information from the source includes a source received by a user; indicating a status of the fact check result based on a re-fact check result from comparison of the fact check result with the information from the source; a processor for processing the application.

21. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
-
fact checking a fact check result of information by comparing, by the device, the fact check result with information from a source to determine factual accuracy of the fact check result; automatically indicating a status of the fact check result based on a re-fact check result from comparison of the fact check result with information from the source; receiving flagging information flagging the fact check result; wherein the fact check result is only fact checked if a number of users flagging the fact check result exceeds a threshold.

22. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
-
fact checking a fact check result of information by comparing, by the device, the fact check result with information from a source to determine factual accuracy of the fact check result; automatically indicating a status of the fact check result based on a re-fact check result from comparison of the fact check result with information from the source; receiving flagging information flagging the fact check result; wherein the flagging information comprises a voice command made within a designated time frame.

23. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
-
fact checking a fact check result of information by comparing, by the device, the fact check result with information from a source to determine factual accuracy of the fact check result; automatically indicating a status of the fact check result based on a re-fact check result from comparison of the fact check result with information from the source; gathering statistics regarding fact check results and re-fact check results of a fact checking system.

24. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
-
fact checking a fact check result of information by comparing, by the device, the fact check result with information from a source to determine factual accuracy of the fact check result; automatically indicating a status of the fact check result based on a re-fact check result from comparison of the fact check result with information from the source; displaying data including how often a fact checking system is challenged, proven incorrect, or proven correct.
