         [0004]    This disclosure relates to a system that can be used by local security to monitor real-time based on social media conversations, any trouble areas. The chatter can be proactively used for prevention of untoward incidents 
         [0005]    This disclosure relates to a cohesive social media platform for people interested in a particular event for providing and conversing during the event actively or commenting offline not being present in the event venue. More particularly, this disclosure relates to a comprehensive platform that provides public a single place to access all the well-known social media applications and converse using voice, video and data. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0006]    Social networks such as Facebook and Twitter are now becoming part and parcel of people&#39;s daily life. Since their inception, social networks have been transforming the way people express opinions, react to events, and share their ideas. Social networks have become very popular in the last few years. 
         [0007]    For twitter alone, 500+ Million tweets are posted by 255+ Million active users every day. People generally use them to post their daily life events and also do check-ins of the visited places. 
         [0008]    Whenever people visit any event, they want to see its details on social networks. They want to see what other people are posting about it. Based on it they may also post about it or share other users posts. However, to extract this information they have to access the social network and search the details of the event. It will be useful if for any event they get this information automatically filtered for the event and displayed on the big screen. 
         [0009]    Nowadays, event managers also want to organize all the details publishing about the event on social network. They want to show analytics and stats about it in terms of nice visualizations. They also cannot directly show the live data as it may contain inappropriate contents or spam posts. They want to moderate the data and display only relative and interesting information. 
         [0010]    Event hosts do not have a system where they can provide a common access to the patrons to login and use a variety of social media application while allowing them to monitor the chatter. This enables the event hosts to fine tune their event to cater the needs of their patron based on the live feedback in the social media. Intelligent system that can filter and group the common thread that is event specific is not available today. 
         [0011]    General public do not have a common system that focusses on an event and provides a mechanism to access multiple social media applications allowing their chats to be posted in a large screen. 
         [0012]    Local security working at the event does not have a common system that allows them to monitor the chats relevant to the event to proactively prepare for any untoward incident. It also allows local security to be prepared and conduct their duties smoothly and seamlessly. 
         [0013]    Law enforcement monitoring actively do not have an event specific intelligence to react when an incident occurs. There is no system available which can immediately filter the event specific information for forensic analysis. 
         [0014]    We propose an intelligent system to gather social network data for an event, moderate the data, and finally display it to people along with analytics. In this way, it will help event managers to see all the details posted about the event and they can control what to show to the general public. It will also help people to see what is being posted about the event and will also encourage them to post as their post will be displayed on big screen and will be seen by many people. Additionally, the back end intelligence can scan through the posts and group them according to common thread and allow those to be backed up in redundant servers for forensic analysis. 
         [0015]    With this system an event manager can collect details of an event, moderate the data to be presented to people, and shows the data along with analytics. It will be useful and interesting for the public attending the event. They will see what and who are posting about the event. It will also motivate the other people attending the event to post. The event manager can also post the link of the presentation view page to event website or social network page so that people not attending the event can also see what is happening in the event. 
         [0016]    In the proposed methodology, we show how such an intelligent system can be created where an event can be managed while providing a platform for event hosts and general public. In addition the system has a dual purpose to engage local security and law enforcement for monitoring, prevention and forensic analysis purposes.

Without loss of generality, it supports and the proposed methodology could work with the popular social media applications available today such as Facebook  102 , Google plus  104 , Instagram  106 , Snapchat  108 , YouTube  110 , Twitter  112 , Skype  114 , WhatsApp  116  and Linkedin  118 . 
         [0081]      FIG. 2  illustrates the social media application distribution. Popular distribution of social media conversations includes pictures,  202 , video  204  and data  206 . For example, Instagram  106  predominantly uses pictures to share between users, while snapchat  108  uses pictures and video. YouTube  110  uses video alone for sharing, while Skype  114  uses video and data for sharing. Linkedin  118  uses data alone for sharing while Twitter  112  uses both short data forms and pictures to be shared. Some applications such as Facebook  102 , Google plus  104  and WhatsApp  116  allow conversations that include pictures, voice, video and data. 
         [0082]      FIG. 1  and  FIG. 2  illustrates together the arrangement of the social media applications over the gamut of pictures, voice and video. 
         [0083]      FIG. 3  illustrates the unfiltered social media connectivity possible today for general public. The group of social media applications is available over Internet  308  to be accessed by general public through their popular devices such as laptops  312 , desktops  314 , smart devices  316  and tablets  318 . The social media applications provide picture sharing  302 , voice and video chats  304  and data sharing  306 .

         [0087]      FIG. 6  illustrates the variety of users that the proposed system  406  supports. The system supports event hosts  602  to manage the event, keep the attendees informed, provide attendees a common platform to relay their opinions and facilitate the smooth functioning of the event. Event hosts  602  also display an abridged filtered version of conversation in the display  404  for all patrons to view. This helps more attendees to participate and relay their views thus helping event hosts to fine-tune the functioning to address the patrons&#39; needs. The system supports local security  604  to conduct the event in a secure fashion. The local security  604  relays emergency procedures and signs for orderly conduct of the event. The local security  604  monitors the event continuously to proactively avoid any untoward incident. The proposed system  406  supports law enforcement agencies  606  to monitor the event over social media “chatter” from those attending and those who are interested in the event over a period of time. The agency  606  conducts real-time analysis and forensic analysis based on data in  408 . The agency  606  coordinates the activities during disaster recovery and uses the display  404  to relay information to general public and event hosts. The proposed system  406  supports general public access to the social media applications  302 ,  304 ,  306  over Internet  308 . The system  406  provides a consolidated platform for general public to get information from various people interested in the event, either participating or not. It is difficult for attendees to go through all social media applications and gather conversations related to an event, and our proposed system  406  provides that view.

         [0090]    In  FIG. 8 , the Event management  710  component has four subcomponents namely Event host server interface  812 , Content filtering rules  814 , Event profile management  816  and Visualization  818 . These subcomponents are not directly available for Event hosts but can be manipulated through the user interface. The Event host server interface  812  provides the interface to the server database. Content filtering  814  allows filtering rules to be defined by the event managers so that postings from attendees and well-wishers that are inappropriate are filtered before being publicly displayed. The filtering rules can be set through configuration management interface. Event profile management  816  subcomponent provides the event managers to set profiles based on interest, gender, age, and various other profiles. These profiles help the managers target their information to correct audience and allows gathering analytics as well. Visualization  818  subcomponent provides the display functionality at the event location for the attendees so they can check their messages about the event in addition to security messages. 
         [0091]    In  FIG. 8 , Security platform  712  has four subcomponents namely, the security server interface  822 , security rules  824 , security analysis  826 , and security profile  828 . The security server interface  822  subcomponent provides the unique API interface to the security server. Security rules  824  subcomponent allows the security configuration to input security related rules to get targeted information on the conversations. For example, local security can configure a trigger for “bomb” and other words to be flagged in conversation. Security profile subcomponent  828  provides the social media conversation information based on profiles. This allows security personnel to target a specific user names and follow their conversation. 
         [0092]    In  FIG. 8 , Analysis platform  714  has five subcomponents, namely, Data gathering  832 , Real-time data analysis  834 , Hysteresis  836 , Forensic analysis  838  and Redundancy management  830 . Data gathering  832  subcomponent allows the integration of law enforcement requirement to gather social media data for a period of time over a profile and record for analysis. Real-time data analysis  834  subcomponent provides the analytical method capability to slice and dice the data as it emerges in the social media. The subcomponent correlates data from various social media applications over real-time and brings out a cohesive thread of information. The hysteresis  836  subcomponent uses intelligence techniques to analyze the real-time and stored data over a period of time to see if there is transience in a behavior or is a sustained problem area. Forensic analysis  838  subcomponent provides the important functionality of providing forensic analysis using stored data in redundant knowledgebase. This technique can be used by law enforcement agencies to analyze data after an event occurs for investigation purposes. Redundancy management  830  subcomponent provides the important functionality of managing multiple copies of knowledge base  408  running in the system. The subcomponent makes sure that the database is stable. 
         [0093]    In  FIG. 8 , Data analytics  716  component has five subcomponents namely, data analytics  842 , performance management  844 , dependency grouping  846 , heuristic engine  848  and knowledgebase interface  840 . These subcomponents are used for intelligent analysis of data and for monitoring the performance and collecting analytics. The data analytics subcomponent  842  provides the important functionality of analytics that the event managers have requested. Performance management subcomponent  844  provides the functionality to display in graphical method or table the performance of the social media application, system and the user. Dependency grouping subcomponent  846  provides the important grouping of various social media to be targeted as a set. The user groups with common users in various social media are created. The heuristic engine  848  has intelligence algorithm based on fuzzy logic that automatically fine tunes the system to cater towards areas that the users require. For example, if the time of day in an event is close to noon, the heuristic engine  848  devices rules where advertisement to neighboring restaurants are displayed suggesting lunch availability. The display management using heuristic engine  848  is crucial for user attention and revenue generation. The knowledgebase interface  840  subcomponent provides the method to access the knowledgebase. 
         [0094]    In  FIG. 8 , Social media collector component  718  has four subcomponents, namely General user server interface  852 , user profile management  854 , social media manager  856  and social media translator  858 . The general user server interface  852  provides the general user some of the unique functionality to connect other users. User profile management  854  subcomponent provides the users to manage their social media profiles. For example, some users may be interested only in a few particular social media application. Social media manager subcomponent  856  groups the user profiles and manages the social media application in its totality. Social media translator subcomponent  858  provides the translation function for various languages so that display can be in a common language for event attendees. 
         [0095]      FIG. 9  illustrates the intelligent event management client components. The components are event host client interface  902 , security client interface  904 , law enforcement interface  906  and general user client interface  908 . All the four clients provide a unique configuration window to their particular clients. The client has a back end server connection to access the server capabilities. 
         [0096]      FIGS. 8 and 9  together illustrate the client and server components of the intelligent event management system. 
         [0097]      FIG. 10  illustrates the control and data flow of the messages through the intelligent system. The user interfaces  1004  are the starting point for general users, security, event host and the law enforcement. In addition, the security and law enforcement have access to real-time data through interfaces  1012  and forensic data  1014  through interfaces to redundant knowledge base  408 . The four categories configure their priorities into the system through user interface  1004 . The interface allows the category of users to configure profiles. The profiles are managed in profile management  1006 . The Intelligent event manager  1008  uses the profile setting to operate its engine of configuring the set social media applications, collecting data, analytics for the profiles selected and display mechanisms. The event manager provides input to visualization  1016  for display purposes. The intelligent event manager also logs the social media information into knowledgebase with multiple copies for redundant purposes  1018 . 
         [0098]      FIG. 11  illustrates the user interface dependencies. The four categories have general user interface  1106  provided with user name and password to access the back end system. The administrator of the intelligent event manager has a special admin view  1104  to perform data moderation and user interface customizations at programming level. The admin can create various templates for visualizations  1112 . In addition, there is a super admin view  1114  that is for admin managers of the event management system to view and update running events real-time. They have access to the back end system to talk to data collector  1108  and data analytics  1110 . The super admin view, for the system organizer, is to track multiple running events including functionality to do the following:
       Track current running events over our system with infographics.   Ability to terminate any running event from the system.   Handle removing of idle event.       
 
         [0102]    This view gives control to system administrator to keep track of all the events. He can delete any idle event or limit certain users in case of lots of events already running on the system server. 
         [0103]      FIG. 12  illustrates the user interface flow chart and visualization process. The admin panel  1204  can start a presentation  1210  or stop a presentation  1206  in the display based on the filters. If the data filtering is properly done the moderated data  1208  can be shown in visualization display  1216 . If stopped  1206  due to being inappropriate, the data is collected  1212  and logged for further analysis  1214 . Meanwhile, user configuration can customize user interface  1218  through configuration mechanism as discussed earlier. 
         [0104]      FIG. 13  illustrates the front end client interface that has a banner  1302 . The illustration shows Tweetboard  1302  but without loss of generality, it can be customized. The user or event manager first accesses the main interface over the web and input the hashtags of the events through customization  1306 . The manager will also choose different social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) from which to collect data  1308 . The manager can choose either one or multiple networks based on the need. 
         [0105]      FIG. 14  illustrates the customization of the account in terms of color  1404 , layout  1406 , screens  1410  and banner  1402 . The messages can also be displayed as per subscribed format  1412 . Admin view will allow the intelligent event manager to moderate the data and do various customizations. The event manager will open the presentation views from this admin page. The event manager can also customize the presentation views on this page such as size of the views, background color, putting brand logo, and choose what views to display. The configuration query is send to the back-end intelligent event manager  406  which will start collecting data for the hashtags. The back-end intelligent event manager  406  will run crawlers to collect the data. It will also calculate stats and analytics and send the data back to the front end admin page for the event manager to moderate. The back-end intelligent event management system can handle many concurrent events. It will collect data for each event and send it back to its admin page. It will also collect data from multiple networks (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) depending upon managers. 
         [0106]      FIG. 15  illustrates the profile management where the User interface customization  1502 , moderation  1504 , and message display as per configuration  1412  are done. The manager can perform following functions in admin view namely:
       Disable/Enable the retweets to be shown.   Disable/Enable Moderation (In disable moderation case all the data will be displayed in presentation views).   Approve all data.   Add trusted users (for trusted users all the posts will go to presentation view without moderation),   Add users to blocked list (blocked users posts will be automatically removed).   Star a post to make it appear on the presentation view instantly (otherwise the approved tweets will go in the queue and will displayed accordingly)   See updated event information over time (number of Tweets, number of Retweets, time)       
 
         [0114]      FIG. 16  illustrates the visualization view of the display. The display clearly shows live streaming  1602  notification and the messages that are live  1604 . The original text or image is posted clearly for all attendees to see. The event manager can control the display time of each view in the administration page. The illustration shows various messages that are worthy of display as per administrator filtering constraints. 
         [0115]      FIG. 17  continues the illustration of the user monitoring portion in display to encourage other users to participate. The live streaming is advertised  1702 . The total message count from various attendees are clearly advertised  1704 . This allows the event attendees and followers to clearly note the interest level on the event. 
         [0116]      FIG. 18  shows the analytics portion shown real-time in the display. The data shown over time the number of tweets  1802  and the trend  1804  will be useful to gauge the interest level. In addition, the data can be customized for various other social media applications as well. The illustration is shown for Twitter.
