Specification

DESCRIPTION:
[0001] This work aims to develop a system that collects, processes and reports crucial information for authorities. The platform will use offline chatbots to gather raw data directly from victims, with LoRa technology as an alternative in areas with limited connectivity. Additionally, APIs and web scraping tools will extract information from various online sources, enriching the dataset. Once the data is collected, administrators will review and verify it to ensure accuracy and relevance.
[0002] After the review, automated bots will clean, filter, and post the information into the application. The system will be accessible to authorized personnel, allowing them to receive real-time updates and insights efficiently. Through this streamlined process, the platform will provide authorities with accurate and reliable data, enhancing their ability to make informed decisions and respond quickly to critical situations.
PRIOR ART AND BACKGROUND:
[0003] CN101635638B: Disaster Tolerance System arid Method. This patent focuses on data backup and recovery for network service and storage systems in disaster scenarios. It includes local and remote data backup, reliability testing, and fast recovery mechanisms. While it excels in data redundancy and fail over processes, it lacks realtime human data collection and integration of modern data sources like APIs or usergenerated inputs during a disaster.Our idea expands on this by introducing real-time data collection from disaster victims through a mobile platform, stored in the cloud. Additionally, we incorporate data from external APIs and leverage a chat-bot for initial filtration, with admin intervention before posting data. This brings an interactive and realtime component missing in the traditional disaster recovery approach outlined in CN101635638B.
[0004] US20210004875A1: Disaster Management System with Real-Time Data and Analytic. This system emphasizes real-time data collection during disasters, similar to our solution. However, its focus is more on sensor-based data and automated alerts. It lacks the interactive chat-bot element that would facilitate direct communication with victims, filtering, and human oversight before data is actioned.Our system goes further by using
a chat-bot to filter victim-provided information and supplementing it with data from external APIs. Human admin intervention ensures the accuracy and appropriateness of data posted into the system. This human-in-the-loop approach enhances reliability and decision-making during crises.
[0005] US20110130636A1 - Systems, Methods, and Devices for Global Disaster Response focuses on real-time disaster detection and alerts but does not involve usergenerated data collection or API integration like our solution, which handles dynamic inputs from victims and automated filtering via chat-bot.
[0006] US20220006761A1 - Chat-bot for Reporting and Investigating Threats primarily reports threats but lacks multi-source'data aggregation, while our system collects data from victims, external APIs, and requires human review.
OBJECTIVE:
[0007] To solve the bridge between victims and the authorities and to aid in ease with the rescue process. It helps the authorized personals to understand the ground-level of the problem without any intermediary sources.The information derived from chat-bots could help in this process.
[0008] To develop a system that ensures effective management and delivery of resources to disaster victims by minimizing misinformation and enhancing communication.
[0009] To implement a cloud-based system for tracking disaster victims and their history, providing valuable data for government information filing and assessing the extent of disaster damage.
[0010] To enhance emergency response by ensuring reliable communication between disaster victims and nearby rescue centers, facilitating timely assistance.
[0011] To increase public awareness by delivering timely updates and critical information through the software.
SUMMARY:
[0012] The system is a comprehensive platform that collects and processes vital information to enhance emergency response, improve reporting, raise public awareness, support vulnerable populations, and optimize resource management. It employs offline chatbots to gather data directly from victims in areas with limited connectivity, using LoRa technology for efficient data transmission to a central hub. In addition, the system utilizes APIs and web scraping tools to extract information from various online sources, including social media platforms, news articles, and official websites, ensuring a broad range of insights into ongoing emergencies.
[0013] The system features a user-friendly application that provides real-time updates and insights, allowing authorized personnel to access critical information quickly. Security is a top priority, with robust authentication measures in place to ensure that only authorized individuals can access sensitive data. Utilizing OAuth 2.0 and JSON Web Tokens (JWT) ensures secure user authentication and authorization. By providing accurate, real-time information, the system empowers authorities to respond swiftly to emergencies, streamline reporting processes, and effectively allocate resources. This holistic approach not only improves immediate response efforts but also raises public awareness and supports community resilience, ultimately leading to better outcomes during crises.
DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION:
[0014] The system aims to develop a comprehensive platform designed to collect, process, and report vital information for authorities, ultimately enhancing emergency response capabilities, improving the reporting process, raising public awareness, supporting vulnerable populations, and optimizing resource management At its core, the system utilizes offline chatbots to gather raw data directly from victims and affected individuals in areas with limited or unreliable connectivity. By leveraging LoRa technology, the system ensures that this critical data can be transmitted efficiently to a central hub for further processing, even in challenging environments. In addition to offline chatbots, the system employs a range of application programming interfaces and web scraping tools to extract relevant information from various online sources, including social media platforms, news articles, government websites, and other digital resources that offer valuable insights into ongoing emergency situations.
