Event Visualization

Abstract

The present invention includes a system and process to visualize an event. The event visualization includes one or more physical entities that generate data experienced thereby and generate executable files related to their vantage points. A file manipulation engines normalizes data both existing in pure data form as well as data within the executable files. A visual display renders a representation of the data along with executable files that are correlated to the data. A relationship between two or more physical entities may be determined, and multimedia files of one entity that includes the other may be determined. Entities with no relationship between them, other than physical proximity (or other relationship) at a particular time, may offer multimedia files to the other entity that includes that entity.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An event visualization method comprising:
 initializing a first multimedia file, from a first physical entity, comprising quantifiable first multimedia metadata constituents, including time indicia;   initializing a second multimedia file, from a second physical entity, comprising quantifiable second multimedia metadata constituents, including time indicia;   comparing quantifiable metadata constituents of said multimedia files to ascertain categorical metadata constituents   normalizing said categorical quantifiable metadata constituents;   determining a domain of said categorical quantifiable metadata constituents;   rendering on a visual display said first multimedia file and said second multimedia file in synchronization and sequentially based on, and substantially equivalent to a time domain of, said time indicia of said first multimedia file and said second multimedia file; and   indicating a conclusion based on metadata constituents from said first physical entity and said second physical entity.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said indicating step includes indicating a conclusion visually on said visual display, said conclusion comprising a comprising a logical relationship between said first physical entity and said second physical entity. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said indicating step includes indicating a conclusion comprising synchronization issues in which categorical metadata constituents are inappropriately parallel, and providing a corrector to modify in bulk the categorical metadata constituents of said second physical entity to be appropriately parallel to said first physical entity. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said indicating step includes indicating a conclusion comprising data compatibility selected from a group consisting of: normalization issues, data integrity flaws, incomplete data sets, and combinations thereof of said first physical entity and said second physical entity, and providing a correction function selected from a group consisting of: normalizing, correcting, augmenting metadata constituents, and combinations thereof of said first physical entity and said second physical entity. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  wherein said indicating step includes indicating a conclusion comprising duplicate representation of at least one of said first physical entity and said second physical entity, and providing a corrector to resolve duplicate physical entity representations into a unified physical entity representation. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of adjusting said rendering of said first multimedia file and said second multimedia file bi-directionally according to said time domain. 
     
     
         7 . An event visualization method comprising:
 initializing a first multimedia file from a first physical entity comprising multiple quantifiable first multimedia metadata constituents;   initializing a second multimedia file from a second physical entity comprising multiple quantifiable second multimedia metadata constituents;   comparing quantifiable metadata constituents of said multimedia files to ascertain categorical quantifiable metadata constituents;   normalizing said categorical quantifiable metadata constituents;   determining a domain of said categorical quantifiable metadata constituents; and   rendering on a visual display said first multimedia file and said second multimedia file in synchronization based on a sequential rendition of said first multimedia file and said second multimedia file based on, and substantially equivalent to said domain of, any selection of said multiple quantifiable categorical metadata constituents;   indicating a conclusion based on metadata constituents from said first physical entity and said second physical entity.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7  wherein said indicating step includes indicating a conclusion visually on said visual display, said conclusion comprising a comprising a logical relationship between said first physical entity and said second physical entity. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7  wherein said indicating step includes indicating a conclusion comprising synchronization issues in which categorical metadata constituents are inappropriately parallel, and providing a corrector to modify in bulk the categorical metadata constituents of said second physical entity to be appropriately parallel to said first physical entity. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7  wherein said indicating step includes indicating a conclusion comprising data compatibility selected from a group consisting of: normalization issues, data integrity flaws, incomplete data sets, and combinations thereof of said first physical entity and said second physical entity, and providing a correction function selected from a group consisting of: normalizing, correcting, augmenting metadata constituents, and combinations thereof of said first physical entity and said second physical entity. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8  wherein said indicating step includes indicating a conclusion comprising duplicate representation of at least one of said first physical entity and said second physical entity, and providing a corrector to resolve duplicate physical entity representations into a unified physical entity representation. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8  further comprising the step of adjusting said rendering of said first multimedia file and said second multimedia file bi-directionally according to said time domain. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8  further comprising the step of adjusting said rendering of said first multimedia file and said second multimedia file bi-directionally according to said domain of at least one categorical quantifiable metadata constituent. 
     
     
         14 . An event visualization system comprising:
 a first physical entity exhibiting geospatial activity and with a detection array adapted to generate: (i) an entity location data set comprising location data points bearing location metadata constituents, including geospatial indicia and time indicia, and (ii) a multimedia file from a vantage of said first physical entity comprising multimedia metadata constituents;   a second physical entity exhibiting geospatial activity;   a file manipulation engine bearing said first physical entity location data set and adapted to accept a representation of said second entity geospatial activity and compare metadata constituents of said location data points of said first physical entity to said representation of said geospatial activity of said second physical entity; and   a visual display adapted to output multimedia files from said vantage of said first physical entity calculated to depict said second physical entity.
