Dynamic Threshold-Based Records Linking - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17808740 titled 'Dynamic Threshold-Based Records Linking
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for linking records in a database. Here are the key points:
- The method selects two records from a customer's records for comparison.
- It determines if the two records belong to different entities.
- If they do, it identifies a local auto-link-threshold value for the different entities.
- The method then performs an attribute comparison between the two records.
- Based on the attribute comparison, it generates a comparison score.
- If the comparison score is higher than the local auto-link-threshold value, the two records are linked.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Customer relationship management systems
- Data integration and consolidation platforms
- Fraud detection systems
- Identity verification systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficiently linking records from different entities in a database
- Reducing manual effort in record linking and data integration processes
- Improving accuracy and reliability of record linking
Benefits of this technology:
- Streamlines data management processes
- Enhances data quality and consistency
- Increases efficiency and productivity
- Enables better decision-making based on linked records
Original Abstract Submitted
Records linking is provided. Two records are selected from a plurality of records corresponding to a customer for pair-wise record comparison. It is determined whether the two records are included in different entities. A local auto-link-threshold value of the different entities is identified in response to determining that the two records are included in different entities. An attribute comparison is performed between the two records. A comparison score is generated based on the attribute comparison between the two records. It is determined whether the comparison score is greater than the local auto-link-threshold value of the different entities. The two records are linked in response to determining that the comparison score is greater than the local auto-link-threshold value of the different entities.
