INFORMATION ACQUISITION SUPPORT APPARATUS, INFORMATION ACQUISITION SUPPORT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING INFORMATION ACQUISITION SUPPORT PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18238870 titled 'INFORMATION ACQUISITION SUPPORT APPARATUS, INFORMATION ACQUISITION SUPPORT METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM STORING INFORMATION ACQUISITION SUPPORT PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an information acquisition support apparatus that helps in quickly and accurately understanding the state of an event occurring at a specific location. It does this by acquiring multiple notifications related to the event, analyzing them based on a set criterion, and generating event state information by integrating the information from the notifications.

  • The apparatus acquires multiple notifications related to an event.
  • It analyzes the notifications using a specific criterion.
  • It generates event state information by integrating the information from the notifications.
  • The apparatus supports rapid and accurate understanding of the event's site state.

Potential Applications

  • Emergency response: The apparatus can be used to quickly gather and analyze notifications related to emergencies, helping emergency responders understand the situation and take appropriate actions.
  • Event management: It can be utilized in managing large-scale events, such as concerts or sports games, by providing real-time information about the event's site state to organizers and security personnel.
  • Disaster monitoring: The apparatus can aid in monitoring and analyzing notifications related to natural disasters, enabling authorities to assess the impact and respond effectively.

Problems Solved

  • Information overload: The apparatus helps in managing and analyzing a large volume of notifications related to an event, reducing the burden of manually processing each notification.
  • Time-sensitive decision-making: By providing rapid and accurate information about the event's site state, the apparatus enables quick decision-making and response to the event.
  • Information integration: The apparatus integrates information from multiple notifications, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of the event's state.

Benefits

  • Rapid and accurate understanding: The apparatus supports quick and accurate grasping of the site state where an event is occurring, aiding in efficient decision-making and response.
  • Enhanced situational awareness: By analyzing and integrating multiple notifications, the apparatus provides a comprehensive view of the event's state, enabling better situational awareness.
  • Improved information management: The apparatus helps in managing and processing a large volume of notifications, reducing the risk of missing critical information and improving overall information management.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information acquisition support apparatus includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a plurality of notifications related to an event; an analysis unit that analyzes the plurality of notifications on the basis of an analysis criterion; and an event state generation unit that generates event state information obtained by integrating information indicated by the plurality of notifications on the basis of an analysis result of the plurality of notifications and an information integration criterion, and thereby, the information acquisition support apparatus supports rapid and accurate grasping of a state of a site where an event is occurring.
