  • Patent number: 9189738
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method and system for automatic event analysis. In particular, according to embodiments of the present invention, there is disclosed a method for automatic event analysis, comprising: collecting information on events of a predetermined type occurring at, within a period of time, at least one location in a space; determining a predictability of the events of the predetermined type with respect to the at least one location based on the collected information and a predetermined condition(s) related to the events of the predetermined type; and determining the stability of predictable events with respect to the at least one location within the period of time. Further, there is disclosed a corresponding system. According to embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to classify an event associated with a service and analyze the service demands in a more efficient way.
