Abstract

The disclosed systems and methods provide roaming physical security intelligence.

Claims (35)

1. A system for providing roaming physical security intelligence comprising:

a server comprising one or more processors and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:

ingest a plurality of events from a plurality of external data sources, the plurality of external data sources comprising at least one of a social network platform or a news source;

detect, via a natural language processing technique, a physical security event among the plurality of events;

generate an alert based on the detected physical security event, the alert comprising content, location metadata, and at least one tag; and

transmit the alert to a repository, wherein the repository is directly accessible by a plurality of user devices, wherein the repository is configured to:

receive a request to reference a device location against the location metadata from at least one of the plurality of user devices; and

provide access to the location metadata for the at least one of the plurality of user devices.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the alert comprises determining location metadata associated with the content and adding the location metadata to the alert.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to, upon execution of the instructions:

cause a check-in request to be displayed on the user device; and

receive a check-in indication from the user device in response to a user making a selection on a user interface of the user device.

4. A system for providing roaming physical security intelligence comprising:

a server comprising one or more processors and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:

ingest a plurality of events from a plurality of external data sources, the plurality of external data sources comprising at least one of a social network platform or a news source;

receive an alert from an analyst device, the alert comprising a detected physical security event from among the plurality of events, content, location metadata, and at least one tag; and

transmit the alert to a repository, wherein the alert is accessible by at least one user device to reference a device location against the location metadata.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein receiving the alert comprises receiving text describing an incident from the analyst device.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to, upon execution of the instructions:

cause a check-in request to be displayed on the user device; and

receive a check-in indication from the user device in response to a user making a selection on a user interface of the user device.

7. A user device for providing roaming physical security intelligence comprising:

one or more processors and a memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:

transmit location data to a server;

access a repository of alerts, each alert comprising a detected physical security event ingested from a plurality of external data sources;

reference the location data against the repository to determine a match; and

in response to determining the match, cause a notification to be displayed, the notification comprising a map of the location data of the user device.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein transmitting the location data to the server is performed periodically on a polling interval.

9. The device of claim 7 , wherein the match comprises a matching location and a matching time period.

10. The device of claim 7 , wherein the matching location comprises a predefined radius around a geolocation of the user device.

11. The device of claim 7 , wherein the matching location comprises a predefined future geolocation of the user device.

12. The device of claim 7 , wherein the notification comprises a textual description of the physical security event.

13. The device of claim 7 , wherein the notification comprises a selectable option to request assistance.

14. The device of claim 7 , wherein the notification comprises a distance between the physical security event and the device.

15. The device of claim 7 , wherein the notification comprises a selectable option to check in.
