US Patent 10212572 Detecting and validating planned event information

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for detecting and validating planned event information. A plurality of normalized signals is accessed. Planned event data across the plurality of normalized signals is checked for inconsistencies. Any inconsistencies are resolved in an automated fashion, for example, through reference to databases containing additional information. A planned event can be detected/validated from concurring and/or resolved planned event data. A validator can refer to an event history database and/or a planning system to validate a possible planned event as an actual planned event.
