First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
- a. detecting bending of the device;
b. automatically analyzing target information, wherein the target information includes content displayed on a screen of the device when the bending is detected;
c. automatically fact checking, with the device, the target information by comparing the target information with source information to generate a result, wherein comparing includes at least one of;
i. searching for an exact match of the target information in the source information and returning the exact match search result of the exact match search if the exact match is found;
ii. 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
iii. 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; and
d. automatically presenting a status of the target information in real-time based on the result of the comparison of the target information with the source information, wherein a graphical representation of an entity related to the target information is displayed, and based on fact checking, the graphical representation of the entity moves closer to a curved edge of the screen until the graphical representation of the entity is hidden by the curved edge if the result indicates the target information is factually inaccurate.

18. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising:
-
a. detecting bending of the device; b. automatically analyzing target information, wherein the target information includes content displayed on a screen of the device when the bending is detected; c. automatically fact checking, with the device, the target information by comparing the target information with source information to generate a 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; 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; and d. automatically presenting a status of the target information in real-time based on the comparison of the target information with the source information, wherein a graphical representation of an entity related to the target information is displayed, and based on fact checking, the graphical representation of the entity moves closer to a curved edge of the screen until the graphical representation of the entity is hidden by the curved edge if the result indicates the target information is factually inaccurate, wherein the first fact check implementation begins searching the source information located on a fastest access time hardware device, then using the source information located on a second fastest access time hardware device, and then using the source information located on slower access time hardware devices until a device list has been exhausted; wherein the second fact check implementation begins utilizing the source information located on the fastest access time hardware device, then using the source information located on the second fastest access time hardware device, and then using the source information located on the slower access time hardware devices until the device list has been exhausted; and wherein the third fact check implementation begins searching the source information located on the fastest access time hardware device, then using the source information located on the second fastest access time hardware device, and then using the source information located on the slower access time hardware devices until the device list has been exhausted.

19. A device comprising:
-
a. a non-transitory memory for storing an application for automatically performing the following steps; i. detecting bending of the device; ii. analyzing target information, wherein the target information includes content displayed on a screen of the device when the bending is detected; iii. fact checking the target information by comparing the target information with source information to generate a result, wherein comparing includes; (1) searching for an exact match of the target information in the source information and returning the exact match search result of the exact match search if the exact match is found; (2) otherwise, if the exact match is not found, then 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; (3) otherwise, if the pattern matching result confidence score is not above the pattern matching result confidence threshold, then 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; and (4) otherwise, returning a negative result value as the result; and iv. presenting a status of the target information in real-time based on the result of the comparison of the target information with the source information wherein a graphical representation of an entity related to the target information is displayed, and based on fact checking, the graphical representation of the entity moves closer to a curved edge of the screen until the graphical representation of the entity is hidden by the curved edge if the result indicates the target information is factually inaccurate, wherein searching for the exact match begins searching the source information located on a fastest access time hardware device, then using the source information located on a second fastest access time hardware device, and then using the source information located on slower access time hardware devices until a device list has been exhausted; wherein utilizing pattern matching begins utilizing the source information located on the fastest access time hardware device, then using the source information located on the second fastest access time hardware device, and then using the source information located on the slower access time hardware devices until the device list has been exhausted; wherein the natural language search begins searching the source information located on the fastest access time hardware device, then using the source information located on the second fastest access time hardware device, and then using the source information located on the slower access time hardware devices until the device list has been exhausted; and b. a processor for processing the application.
