Information-sharing system
First Claim
1. An information gathering and sharing system, comprising:
- a server connected to a network, the server having a processor and a coupled data repository, with software executing on the processor from a non-transitory medium providing system intelligence; and
a plurality of computerized communication devices coupled to the network, each having a microphone, a speaker, a GPS capability reporting geographic location, and a display screen, each computerized communication device executing an instance of the software providing local intelligence at least presenting interactive interfaces to users of the devices, the users enabled to record an audio or audio-video input to the server;
wherein the server receives at least audio from a first one of the computerized communication devices, the audio processed by the software determining if the audio is a command for service or a report of an event occurring at or near a specific geographic location, and if a report determines second ones of the computerized communication devices reporting geographic location within a predetermined distance from the specific geographic location, and messages users of the second ones of the computerized communication devices via the interactive interfaces, sharing the received report, eliciting input regarding the event, and including any information received from users of second ones of the computerized devices regarding the same event, and wherein the reports are further processed along with the elicited input using natural language machine intelligence to determine a communication channel of common subject according to pre-programmed channel definitions, and the reports are tagged accordingly.

Abstract
An information gathering system has a server connected to a network, the server having a processor and a coupled data repository, with software executing on the processor from a non-transitory medium providing system intelligence, and a plurality of computerized communication devices coupled to the network, each having a microphone, a speaker, a GPS capability reporting geographic location, and a display screen, each computerized communication device executing coded instructions providing local intelligence at least presenting interactive interfaces to users of the devices, the users enabled to record an audio or audio-video input to the server. The server receives a report of an event occurring at or near a specific geographic location, determines computerized communication devices reporting geographic location within a predetermined distance from the specific geographic location, and messages users of the second computerized communication devices, eliciting input regarding the event.

6. A method receiving and sharing information, comprising:
-
(a) receiving, at a server connected to a network, the server having a processor and a coupled data repository, with software executing on the processor from a non-transitory medium providing system intelligence, an instance of at least recorded audio from one of a plurality of mobile computerized communication devices coupled to the network, each having a microphone, a speaker, a GPS capability reporting geographic location, and a display screen, each computerized communication device executing an instance of the software; (b) processing the audio by the software determining if the audio is a command for service or a report of an event occurring at or near a specific geographic location; (c) providing local intelligence at least presenting interactive interfaces to users of second ones of the plurality of mobile computerized communication devices, the users enabled to record an audio or audio-video input to the server, second ones of the computerized communication devices currently located within a preprogrammed distance from the event occurring at or near the specific location; (d) messaging users of the second ones of the computerized communication devices, eliciting input regarding the event reported, and sharing the report, including any information received from users of second ones of the computerized devices regarding the same event; and (e) further processing reports along with the elicited input using natural language machine intelligence to determine a communication channel of common subject according to pre-programmed channel definitions, and tagging the reports accordingly. - View Dependent Claims (7, 10)
