US Patent 11451930 Dynamic hotspot prediction method and system

A method and system is presented for dynamically predicting hotspots (predictive of a high volume of event occurrences) in a geographic location. The method calculates a hotspot probability measure for each grid within this geographic location by summing probability of predicted volume bucket with probabilities of all higher buckets (buckets are ordinal here). The method also calculates a hotspot score for each grid based on the corresponding hotspot probability measure, selects a pre-defined number of grids having the highest hotspot scores as predicted hotspots, and generates an alert indicating the predicted hotspots and displaying the alert on a predictive GUI, showing the multiple grids.
