AUTOMATED GOVERNMENT RESOURCE ALLOCATION

摘要

A government resource allocation method includes periodically sensing with a handheld computing device, different business metrics for different business establishments disposed about a set of geographic subdivisions and uploading the sensed metrics to a database management system as the metrics are sensed. Changes in the business metrics are computed over time for each of the geographic subdivisions based upon the uploaded sensed metrics. Finally, two different records in the database management system corresponding to respectively different allocations of human resources to corresponding ones of the geographic subdivisions are modified by reducing a stored indication of government resources allocated to one of the corresponding ones of the geographic subdivisions having a computed change in business metrics below a threshold value indicative of little or no change, and the other of the corresponding ones of the geographic subdivisions having a computed change in business metrics above a threshold value indicative of large change.
