First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
- a. acquiring target information, including a source of the target information;
b. comparing one or more first characteristics of the source of the target information with one or more second characteristics of a user;
c. processing the target information, including parsing the target information into parsed information;
d. fact checking, with the device, the target information by comparing the parsed information with source information to generate fact checking results, including indicating when the parsed information is factually accurate and indicating when the parsed information is factually inaccurate;
e. summarizing the target information to generate a summary of the target information utilizing lexical chaining and the fact checking results generated by fact checking the target information, including determining total strengths of sentences within the target information, wherein a total strength of a sentence is computed by combining a first score for a lexical chain strength and a second score for a factual accuracy of the sentence, further wherein the total strength of the sentence is increased or decreased when the sentence is factually accurate, wherein when at least one of the one or more first characteristics of the source of the target information matches at least one of the one or more second characteristics of the user, the summary is not limited to only the parsed information indicated as factually inaccurate;
otherwise, the summary is limited to only the parsed information indicated as factually inaccurate; and
f. providing the summary of the target information in real-time.

Abstract
An optimized fact checking system analyzes and determines the factual accuracy of information and/or characterizes the information by comparing the information with source information. The optimized fact checking system automatically monitors information, processes the information, fact checks the information in an optimized manner and/or provides a status of the information. In some embodiments, the optimized fact checking system generates, aggregates, and/or summarizes content.

19. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
-
a. acquiring target information, including a source of the target information; b. comparing one or more first characteristics of the source of the target information with one or more second characteristics of a user; c. processing the target information, including parsing the target information into parsed information; d. fact checking, with the device, the target information by comparing the parsed information with source information to generate fact checking results, including indicating when the parsed information is factually accurate and indicating when the parsed information is factually inaccurate; e. summarizing the target information to generate a summary of the target information utilizing lexical chaining and the fact checking results generated by fact checking the target information, including determining total strengths of sentences within the target information, wherein a total strength of a sentence is computed by combining a first score for a lexical chain strength and a second score for a factual accuracy of the sentence, further wherein the total strength of the sentence is increased or decreased when the sentence is factually accurate, wherein when at least one of the one or more first characteristics of the source of the target information matches at least one of the one or more second characteristics of the user, the summary is not limited to only the parsed information indicated as factually accurate;

20. A device comprising:
-
a. a non-transitory memory for storing an application for automatically performing the following steps; i. acquiring target information, including a source of the target information; ii. comparing one or more first characteristics of the source of the target information with one or more second characteristics of a user; iii. processing the target information, including parsing the target information into parsed information; iv. fact checking the target information by comparing the parsed information with source information to generate fact checking results, including indicating when the parsed information is factually accurate and indicating when the parsed information is factually inaccurate; v. summarizing the target information to generate a summary of the target information utilizing lexical chaining and the fact checking results generated by fact checking the target information, including determining total strengths of sentences within the target information, wherein a total strength of a sentence is computed by combining a first score for a lexical chain strength and a second score for a factual accuracy of the sentence, further wherein the total strength of the sentence is increased or decreased when the sentence is factually accurate, wherein when at least one of the one or more first characteristics of the source of the target information matches at least one of the one or more second characteristics of the user, the summary is limited to only the parsed information indicated as factually inaccurate;
otherwise, the summary is limited to only the parsed information indicated as factually inaccurate; andvi. providing the summary of the target information in real-time; and b. a processor for processing the application.
