## Abstract

A method for establishing correspondences between mobile communication users and their network accounts includes acquiring an identifier of one of the mobile communication users and access information corresponding to the identifier from a communication stream. The access information includes Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) associated with network resources that have been accessed by the one of the mobile communication users. The method further includes acquiring a first set of network accounts associated with the URLs, and determining a second set of network accounts corresponding to the one of the mobile communication users based on the first set of network accounts.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for establishing correspondences between mobile communication users and their network accounts, comprising:
acquiring an identifier of one of the mobile communication users and access information corresponding to the identifier from a communication stream, wherein the access information comprises Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) associated with network resources that have been accessed by the one of the mobile communication users;
acquiring a first set of network accounts associated with the URLs, wherein the first set of network accounts comprises user login credentials used to access the network resources associated with the URLs; and
forming a second set of network accounts corresponding to the one of the mobile communication users by performing a statistical analysis on the first set of network accounts to create a subset of the first set of network accounts,
wherein the second set of network accounts comprises the subset of the first set of network accounts, and the second set of network accounts is formed based on a frequency of each network accounts occurring in the first set of network accounts;
wherein the access information further comprises access times corresponding to the URLs,
wherein forming the second set of network accounts based on the frequency of each network account occurring in the first set of network accounts comprises:
for each access time corresponding to a URL, counting the frequency of each network account occurring in the first set of network accounts associated with the URL, and determining a level of each network account based on the counting;
further counting the frequency of the levels of each network account occurring; and
forming the second set of network accounts corresponding to the one of the mobile communication users based on the further counting.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the URLs comprise an original URL directly corresponding to a network resource that has been accessed by the one of the mobile communication users, and acquiring the first set of network accounts comprises:
acquiring associated URLs in association with the original URL;
acquiring information in pages corresponding to the original URL and the associated URLs; and
acquiring network accounts contained in the information in the pages to form the first set of network accounts.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The method according to claim 2,
wherein the access information further comprises an access time corresponding to the original URL, and
wherein the associated URLs comprise associated URLs in association with the original URL and haying access times closer to the access time of the original URL.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The method according to claim 2,
wherein the associated URLs comprise associated URLs in association with the original URL and corresponding to a same type of network resource as the original URL.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein forming the second set of network accounts based on the frequency of each network account occurring in the first set of network accounts comprises:
counting the frequency of each network account occurring in the first set of network accounts; and
forming the second set of network accounts using the network accounts with a counted frequency that is over a predetermined threshold.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
acquiring a communication number of the one of the mobile communication users corresponding to the identifier of the one of the mobile communication users and associating the communication number with the second set of network accounts.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method according to claim 6,
wherein the identifier of the one of the mobile communication users is a Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI) of the one of the mobile communication users, and
wherein acquiring the communication number of the one of the mobile communication users corresponding to the identifier of the one of the mobile communication users comprises:
acquiring an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) corresponding to the TMSI; and
acquiring a communication number of the one of the mobile communication users corresponding to the IMSI.

### Claim 8

An apparatus for establishing correspondences between mobile communication users and their network accounts, comprising:
a memory storing a computer program; and
a processor configured to execute the computer program, wherein the computer program is configured to:
acquire an identifier of one of the mobile communication users and access information corresponding to the identifier from a communication stream, wherein the access information comprises Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) associated with network resources that have been accessed by the one of the mobile communication users;
acquire a first set of network accounts associated with the URLs, wherein the first set of network accounts comprises user login credentials used to access the network resources associated with the URLs; and
form a second set of network accounts corresponding to the one of the mobile communication users by performing a statistical analysis on the first set of network accounts to create a subset of the first set of network accounts,
wherein the second set of network accounts comprises the subset of the first set of network accounts, and the second set of network accounts is formed based on a frequency of each network account occurring in the first set of network accounts;
wherein the access information further comprises access times corresponding to the URLs,
wherein forming the second set of network accounts based on the frequency of each network account occurring in the first set of network accounts comprises:
for each access time corresponding to a URL, counting the frequency of each network accounting occurring in the first set of network accounts associated with the URL, and determining a level of each network account based on the counting;
further counting the frequency of the levels of each network account occurring; and
forming the second set of network accounts corresponding to the one of the mobile communication users based on the further counting.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the URLs comprise an original URL directly corresponding to a network resource that has been accessed by the one of the mobile communication users, and acquiring the first set of network accounts comprises:
acquiring associated URLs in association with the original URL;
acquiring information in pages corresponding to the original URL and the associated URLs; and
acquiring network accounts contained in the information in the pages to form the first set of network accounts.
