A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12001439B2) outlines a method and system for a wide area network fact information service. The method involves electronically storing machine-readable canonical fact entries and corresponding occurrence timepoints, along with fact descriptor entries, ranking these entries relative to each other, receiving feedback to adjust the ranking, and making predictions about future events based on the adjusted ranking. The ranking process can be continuous, iterative, or parallel, and is influenced by factors such as entity ranking, source credibility, proximity measures, similarity measures, and publication times. The system includes a processor, non-transitory storage, and components for storing, ranking, and predicting based on the stored data.

The system and method described in the patent offer a sophisticated approach to managing and analyzing factual information on a wide area network. By storing canonical fact entries and descriptor entries, ranking them based on various criteria, and adjusting the ranking with feedback, the system can make predictions about future events. The use of factors like entity ranking, source credibility, proximity measures, and similarity measures enhances the accuracy and relevance of the predictions made by the system. Overall, this patent introduces a comprehensive framework for organizing and utilizing factual data in a networked environment, with potential applications in various fields requiring predictive analytics and information management.
