Abstract

Systems and methods of consolidation and visualization of a set of communication and transaction data associated with a person of interest (POI) and a set of correspondents of the POI are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method may include consolidating the set of communication and transaction data associated with communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI across a plurality of mediums of communication in an organized reconstruction folder. The method may also include a graphical representation of the communication between the POI and the correspondent of the POI A when the organized reconstruction folder has been created. The method also includes embedding the organized reconstruction folder under the communication link such that the organized reconstruction folder is immediately viewable when an analyst selects the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI A.

generating a link chart associated with the POI to visually represent the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI;

embedding the organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and correspondent of the POI within the communication link within the link chart between the POI and the correspondent of the POI such that the organized reconstruction folder automatically populates when a user selects the communication link in the link chart between the POI and the correspondent of the POI;

merging a visual node of the link chart representing the POI with a visual node of the link chart representing an entity communicating with the correspondent with an online identity when at least one of a collection server and a service platform determines that the online identity is associated with the POI; and

consolidating the set of communication and transaction data in the organized reconstruction folder with a second set of communication and transaction data in a second organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the entity and the correspondent of the POI.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

tracking a number of times the POI has communicated with the correspondent of the POI across a plurality of mediums of communications to generate a set of communication associations between the POI and the correspondent of the POI.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

tracking a number of times the POI has communicated with the correspondent of the POI to including a set of online identities associated with at least one of the POI and the correspondent of the POI to generate a set of communication instances between the POI and the correspondent of the POI.

4. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

identifying a set of online identities associated with the POI;

consolidating the set of communication and transaction data corresponding to the set of online identities associated with the POI; and

when a particular online identity associated with the POI communicates with the correspondent of the POI, automatically tracking the communication as a communication instance in the organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

visually representing a set of communication links between the POI and a set of correspondents of the POI in a single link chart associated with the POI.

6. The method of claim 5 further comprising:

automatically selecting a visual form of the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on a set of predetermined visualization options,

wherein the set of predetermined visualization options includes at least one of a frequency of communication, a number of communication instances, an importance of a particular communication instance, a priority level of a communication instance, a keyword in the content of the communication and transaction data, an identity of the correspondent of the POI, a manual preference of an analyst, a time of the communication instance and a type of communication instance.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising:

automatically modifying the visual form of the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on a set of predetermined visualization options when a predetermined condition stipulated by the analyst is met.

8. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

further organizing the organized reconstruction folder associated with the communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on a set of preferences of the analyst.

9. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

filtering the set of communication and transaction data within the organized reconstruction folder associated with the communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on a query term entered by the analyst; and

generating a set of results based on the query term entered by the analyst within the organized reconstruction folder associated with the communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI.

10. A method, using a physical processor and memory, comprising:

determining that a person of interest (POI) has communicated with a correspondent of the POI when a first communication instance occurs between the POI and the correspondent of the POI;

automatically creating an organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI when the first communication instance occurs between the POI and the correspondent of the POI;

automatically creating a communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI in a link chart when the first communication instance occurs between the POI and the correspondent of the POI; and

embedding the organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and correspondent of the POI under the communication link on the link chart between the POI and the correspondent of the POI in the link chart;

automatically selecting with a set of predetermined visualization options a visual form of the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on the content of the organizational reconstruction folder,

wherein the set of predetermined visualization options includes at least one of a frequency of communication, a number of communication instances, an importance of a particular communication instance, a priority level of a communication instance, a keyword in the content of the communication and transaction data, an identity of the correspondent of the POI, a manual preference of an analyst, a time of the communication instance and a type of communication instance.

11. The method of claim 10 further comprising:

consolidating a set of communication and transaction data associated with a communication between the POI and the correspondent of the POI across a plurality of mediums of communications in the organized reconstruction folder.

12. The method of claim 11 further comprising:

tracking a number of communication instances between the POI and the correspondent of the POI including a set of online identities associated with at least one of the POI and the correspondent of the POI.

13. The method of claim 10 further comprising: automatically Modifying the visual form of the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on a set of predetermined visualization options when a predetermined condition stipulated by the analyst is met.

14. A system comprising a processor communicatively coupled with a volatile memory and a non-volatile storage further comprising a service platform to: consolidate, process and organize a set of communication and transaction data associated with a communication between a POI and a correspondent of the POI A across a plurality of mediums of communications in an organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and correspondent of the POI;

automatically create a communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI based on the set of communication and transaction data associated with the communication between the POI and the correspondent of the POI in a link chart;

merge a visual node of the link chart representing the POI with a visual node of the link chart representing an entity communicating with the correspondent with an online identity when the service platform determines that the online identity is associated with the POI; and

consolidate the set of communication and transaction data in the organized reconstruction folder with a second set of communication and transaction data in a second organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the entity and the correspondent of the POI.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the service platform automatically populates the organized reconstruction folder associated with communications between the POI and the correspondent of the POI when an analyst selects the communication link between the POI and the correspondent of the POI on the link chart.

16.
