METHOD AND DEVICE FOR IMPROVING THE SEARCHABILITY OF INCIDENT-SPECIFIC SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT POSTED VIA PARTICULARLY IDENTIFIED COMMUNICATION DEVICES

Abstract:

A process for improving the searchability of incident-specific social media content posted via communication devices. In operation, an electronic computing device obtains incident information identifying an incident location and time of occurrence of the incident. The electronic computing device identifies a communication device located within a predetermined geographical area relative to the incident location during the time of occurrence of the incident. The electronic computing device then generates a concatenated string as a function of incident identifier associated with the incident and device identifier associated with the communication device and transmits an electronic message including the concatenated string to the communication device. The electronic message includes a link to enable the concatenated string to be attached to social media posts including incident-specific social media content posted via the communication device on social media networks.
