Patent ID: 8204879

Claim:
A method for aggregation and monitoring of multimedia data stored in a decentralized way, comprising: triggering upcoming class actions or legal actions, one or more linkable search key words being stored in a memory, a computing unit accessing, via a network, network nodes connected to source databases, and data from the source databases being selected based on the search key words, the method comprising: storing in a second memory at least one rating parameter, assigned to search key words or to a combination of search key words; accessing, by a filter module of the computing unit, the source databases of the network node; generating a scorecard with data sets found by the filter module, the scorecard including a time-based rating and an exposure-based frequency rating for each rating parameter and the assigned search key words; dynamically generating a variable frequency value at least partially by a parameterization module, based on the scorecard for the respective rating parameter with respect to their exposure-based frequency, the variable frequency value corresponds to network class action frequency variations or legal action frequency variations, with respect to time; and triggering a predefined exposure threshold by a tracing unit based on a generated assigned distribution of the variable frequency values, and a trigger signal is generated with respect to time and the variable frequency values and transmitted for activation to a receiving work unit.
