  • Patent number: 10395172
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of generating decision options. Sensor data is received from a plurality of sensors and presented visually to two or more users. Those users can then analyze the images and enter tag data which is received and stored along with the sensor data. The sensor and tag data are then input to a computer implemented decision support algorithm along with a stored operational plan. The algorithm then outputs one or more decision options which can assist a human decision maker in making a decision. The invention enables such a decision maker to make a decision quickly which complies with a previously stored operational plan and is likely to be correct since it is based on inputs from multiple human users. The invention is capable of being easily scaled to deal with a high volume of sensor data and a large number of users.
