Efficient fact checking method and system without monitoring
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
- a. accessing target information;
b. parsing the target information into segments and prioritizing the segments, so that a highest priority segment is fact checked first, wherein priority is based on a presenter of the target information, wherein if the presenter of the target information has a validity rating below a first threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a highest priority group, and if the presenter of the target information has the validity rating above the first threshold and below a second threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a second highest priority group which has a lower priority than the highest priority group, and if the presenter of the target information has the validity rating above the second threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a third highest priority group which has a lower priority than the second highest priority group; and
c. automatically presenting a fact check result of the target information within the target information in real-time.

Abstract
An efficient fact checking system analyzes and determines the factual accuracy of information and/or characterizes the information by comparing the information with source information. The efficient fact checking system automatically monitors information, processes the information, fact checks the information efficiently and/or provides a status of the information.

1. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
-
a. accessing target information; b. parsing the target information into segments and prioritizing the segments, so that a highest priority segment is fact checked first, wherein priority is based on a presenter of the target information, wherein if the presenter of the target information has a validity rating below a first threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a highest priority group, and if the presenter of the target information has the validity rating above the first threshold and below a second threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a second highest priority group which has a lower priority than the highest priority group, and if the presenter of the target information has the validity rating above the second threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a third highest priority group which has a lower priority than the second highest priority group; and c. automatically presenting a fact check result of the target information within the target information in real-time. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
-
a. accessing target information; b. automatically fact checking the target information by comparing the target information with source information to generate a fact check result, wherein comparing includes at least one of; i. implementing a first fact check implementation for fact checking the target information using the source information and returning a first fact check result of the first fact check implementation if the first fact check result of the first fact check is above a first confidence threshold; ii. implementing a second fact check implementation for fact checking the target information using the source information and returning a second fact check result of the second fact check implementation if the second fact check result of the second fact check is above a second confidence threshold; and iii. implementing a third fact check implementation for fact checking the target information using the source information and returning a third fact check result of the third fact check implementation if the third fact check result of the third fact check is above a third confidence threshold; c. parsing the target information into segments and prioritizing the segments, so that a highest priority segment is fact checked first, wherein priority is based on a presenter of the target information, wherein if the presenter of the target information has a validity rating below a first validity threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a highest priority group, and if the presenter of the target information has the validity rating above the first threshold and below a second threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a second highest priority group which has a lower priority than the highest priority group, and if the presenter of the target information has the validity rating above the second threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a third highest priority group which has a lower priority than the second highest priority group; and d. automatically presenting the fact check result of the target information within the target information in real-time, wherein implementing the first fact check implementation begins searching the source information located on a fastest access time hardware device; wherein implementing the second fact check implementation begins utilizing the source information located on the fastest access time hardware device; and wherein implementing the third fact check implementation begins searching the source information located on the fastest access time hardware device.

19. A device comprising:
-
a. a non-transitory memory for storing an application for automatically performing the following steps; i. accessing social networking information; ii. fact checking the social networking information by comparing the social networking information with source information to generate a fact check result, wherein comparing includes at least one of; (1) searching for an exact match of the social networking information in the source information and returning the result of the exact match search if the exact match is found; (2) utilizing pattern matching for fact checking and returning the result of the pattern matching fact check if a pattern matching result confidence score is above a pattern matching result confidence threshold; and (3) utilizing a natural language search for fact checking and returning the result of the natural language fact check if a natural language result confidence score is above a natural language result confidence threshold; iii. parsing the target information into segments and prioritizing the segments, so that a highest priority segment is fact checked first, wherein priority is based on a presenter of the target information, wherein if the presenter of the target information has a validity rating below a first validity threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a highest priority group, and if the presenter of the target information has the validity rating above the first threshold and below a second threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a second highest priority group which has a lower priority than the highest priority group, and if the presenter of the target information has the validity rating above the second threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a third highest priority group which has a lower priority than the second highest priority group; and iv. presenting the fact check result of the social networking information within the social networking information in real-time, wherein searching for the exact match begins searching the source information located on a fastest access time hardware device; wherein utilizing pattern matching begins utilizing the source information located on the fastest access time hardware device; and wherein the natural language search begins searching the source information located on the fastest access time hardware device; and b. a processor for processing the application.
