Abstract

High value information Alert and Reporting System (HARS) and method to integrate the public into the law enforcement process by providing information on specific wanted persons/persons-of-interest to a diverse range of information display devices specifically selected to display the information to the public. Wanted persons/persons-of-interest are profiled by behavior and acquaintances and predictive behavior algorithms are used to predict locations and venues where there is a higher likelihood the person can be found and then information on that person is provided to the public in that specific area. When the public observes the wanted person, it is reported to HARS, which in turn notifies the proper Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) for investigation and apprehension. Invention can be used for providing public service information to the public in the precise area the information is needed and can also provide commercial advertising information to selected target areas.

Claims

1. A high value information alert and reporting system for predicting locations of specific wanted persons and persons of interest to the public through selected display monitors, comprising:

an interactive computer system including a processor based data unit and a memory storage for storing a software executable program in a centralized operations with a single centralized database

two or more different communication mediums for acquiring information on specific wanted persons and persons-of-interest, crimes and public service information;

a plurality of monitors, display devices and networks with display monitors forming display groups that are shared for disseminating information to the public on the specific wanted persons and the persons of interest, each display group selected from one of at least a geographical location, a venue, a display type and a display audience;

a predictive association algorithm to compile association information to generate a dynamic group association of individuals with a relationship to the wanted persons and the persons of interest;

a profiling algorithm executable on the computer system for profiling the wanted persons and the persons of interest based on the acquired information and the association information to predict locations and whereabouts of the profiled wanted persons and the profiled persons of interest;

a set of target instructions for generating behavioral profiles of the profiled wanted persons and the profiled persons of interest;

a set of distribution instructions for distributing the targeted information to the public by at least one of the display groups;

an input interface to allow the public to report location and whereabout information on details of the profiled wanted persons and the profiled persons of interest; and

an investigator for investigating predicted physical locations of the profiled wanted persons and the profiled persons of interest by law enforcement in order to aid law enforcement investigation and apprehension of the profiled persons.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a High value information Alert and Reporting system (HARS) headquarters and operational center, the interactive computer system operating from the High value information Alert and Reporting system (HARS) headquarters and operational center.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the high value information alert and reporting system and operational center further comprising:

a multi-modal, multi-media infrastructure for acquiring and disseminating high value information on a target person or person of interest to one or more different foreign and domestic civilian and governmental agencies.

4. The system of claim 2, further comprising:

a process to acquire, provide and share information on the profiled wanted persons and the profiled persons of interest between international civilian and governmental international organizations.

5. The system of claim 2, further comprising:

an override process to allow approved governmental agencies to directly disseminate emergency information for public welfare, and the acquired and the profiled information on the specific wanted persons and the persons of interest directly to the public using the high value information alert and reporting system.

6. The system of claim 1, the interactive computer system further comprising:

a target information delivery system for distributing the target information to the public, in public places, so the public helps locate the wanted persons.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein the target information delivery system comprises:

a display database in the single centralized database, of available public announcement devices for displaying the target information to the public within range of the public announcement device; and

a distribution algorithm for dynamically determining type of information distributed to each public announcement device to provide the wanted information to the public information devices in locations where there is an increased likelihood the profiled wanted persons and the profiled persons of interest are located, and where public information is needed.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the display database includes:

a plurality of individually owned information display devices and services to receive the target information from the target information delivery system.

9. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a playlist algorithm to create a playlist of the profiled wanted persons and the profiled persons of interest, and additional information, which are matched to each monitor, display device, and display network, where the profiled wanted persons and the profiled persons of interest are be located, and where public service information is needed.

10. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

an expanded network infrastructure interfaced with the High value information Alert and Reporting system (HARS) headquarters and operational center, the expanded network infrastructure including one or more of domestic and international law enforcement agencies, social media networks, public suspicious activity reporting systems, public and private research databases and commercially owned communications networks.

11. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a call center for the public to report sightings of the specific wanted persons and the persons of interest by the public through a multi-media call center to report sightings to the call center.

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising:

a social network communication link for the public to report sightings and association data of wanted persons to the call center.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the social network communication link includes one or more of traditional and cellular telephone phone calls, video phone calls, social networking messaging, text messaging, short messaging, emails, hot lines, and data lines.

14. The system of claim 11 further comprising:

a predictive behavior algorithm to determine one or more likely locations where the profiled wanted persons and the profiled persons of interest are located based on the information provided by the public.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein the predictive association algorithm determines which friends, relatives, and acquaintances in the group association the specific wanted persons or the persons of interest are most likely to contact.

16. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a predictive behavioral analytic algorithm for collecting behavioral data specific to the target person or person of interest and predicting one or more locations the specific wanted persons or the persons of interest are likely to visit based on the collected behavior data.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the predictive behavioral analytic algorithm collects and uses information corresponding the the specific wanted persons or the persons of interest likes and dislikes and past reactions to different circumstances for predicting the one or more locations the specific wanted persons or the persons of interest are likely to visit.

18. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a law enforcement agency secure communication link for exchanging information on the specific wanted persons or the persons of interest with other Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) databases for mutual support of law enforcement objectives.

19. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a suspicious activity report generated in response to a reported public observation.
