Claim 0:
1. A system for determining an accuracy of crowd-sourced information, comprising:
a server configured to receive transmissions of input data from a plurality of sources concerning a real world event, wherein the input data from each of the plurality of sources comprises source information and event information, wherein the source information comprises an identifier and a location of the source;
wherein the server is configured to analyze the source information of each source, and assign a credibility rating to each of the sources based on whether the identifier of that source was previously stored on the server and accuracy ratings associated with prior submissions from that source;
wherein the server is further configured to compare the location of the source with an event location and assign an accuracy rating to each source based on the distance of the source from the event location; wherein the server is further configured to query a set of sensors within a predefined area of the real world event location, and receive one or more transmissions of sensor data;
wherein the server is further configured to assign an accuracy probability rating (APR) to the real world event based on (i) the credibility and accuracy ratings of each source and (ii) a similarity of the received event information from the one or more sources when compared with the received sensor data from the set of sensors, such that the server more efficiently manages the input data from the plurality of sources to provide credible information for incident command and operations related to the real world event;
wherein the server is further configured to transmit an alert related to the real world event when the APR is greater than a predetermined threshold.
