Crowd Sourcing of Device Sensor Data for Real Time Response

Abstract

A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing a crowdsourcing data analysis operation. More specifically, the crowdsourcing data analysis operation receives data from a plurality of crowd sourced devices, aggregates the data received from the plurality of crowd sourced devices and maps the data received from the plurality of crowd sourced devices to a cohort (i.e., a group of individuals used in a study who have something in common). In certain embodiments, the crowdsourcing data analysis operation analyzes the data received from the plurality of crowd sourced devices to provide a deterministic analysis to infer a likelihood of potential incidents related to a group of individuals at any given time. Additionally in certain embodiments, the mapping of the data received from the plurality of crowd sourced devices includes binding the data to a physical or logical location.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A computer-implementable method for performing a crowdsourcing data analysis operation, comprising:
 receiving data from a plurality of crowd sourced devices;   aggregating the data received from the plurality of crowd sourced devices; and,   mapping the data received from the plurality of crowd sourced devices to a cohort.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 analyzing the data received from the plurality of crowd sourced devices to provide a deterministic analysis of the data received from the plurality of crowd sourced devices, the deterministic analysis enabling an inference of a likelihood of potential incidents related to a group of individuals at any given time.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 presenting a visual cue to illustrate the analysis of the data received from the plurality of crowd sourced data via a graphical representation.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the mapping of the data received from the plurality of crowd sourced devices includes binding the data to a venue.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein:
 the venue comprises at least one of a physical location and a logical location.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , further comprising:
 registering each of the plurality of crowd sourced devices as each device enters the venue; and,   deregistering each of the plurality of crowd sourced devices as each device exits the venue.
