Application ID: 15193406

Base Claim:
1. A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising: a. automatically fact checking target information based on a format of the target information; b. parsing the target information into segments and prioritizing the segments, so that a highest priority segment is fact checked first, wherein priority is based on a presenter of the target information, wherein if the presenter of the target information has a validity rating below a first validity threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a highest priority group, and if the presenter of the target information has the validity rating above the first threshold and below a second threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a second highest priority group which has a lower priority than the highest priority group, and if the presenter of the target information has the validity rating above the second threshold, then the segments of the target information from the presenter are prioritized in a third highest priority group which has a lower priority than the second highest priority group; and c. automatically presenting a status of the target information in real-time based on the format of the target information.

Claim 7:
7. The method of claim 1 further comprising fact checking the target information by comparing the target information with source information to generate a result, wherein comparing includes at least one of: i. searching for an exact match of the target information in the source information and returning the result of the exact match search if the exact match is found; ii. utilizing pattern matching for fact checking and returning the result of the pattern matching fact check if a pattern matching result confidence score is above a pattern matching result confidence threshold; and iii. utilizing a natural language search for fact checking and returning the result of the natural language fact check if a natural language result confidence score is above a natural language result confidence threshold, and the status of the target information is based on the format of the target information and the comparison of the target information with the source information.
