Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a system and method for matching two or more addresses. In one embodiment, the system and method includes extracting certain strings or tokens from the addresses, storing the extracted portions into address property containers, and comparing the extracted properties in a layered approach based on the information constructed in the address property containers. In the first layer, the primary properties of the first address are compared to the primary properties of the second address. In the second layer, for each common primary property the modifiers associated with the common primary property of the first address are compared to the modifiers associated with selected primary properties of the second address.

Claims24

Dependent claims

A method for matching addresses, the method comprising:

receiving first address data and second address data;
extracting, by a processor, any primary properties of the first address data and any primary properties of the second address data;
comparing, by the processor, any extracted primary properties of the first address data to any extracted primary properties of the second address data;
and
responsive to the comparison resulting in no conflicting extracted primary properties existing between the first address data and the second address data:
comparing, by the processor, extracted modifiers associated with the first address data to extracted modifiers associated with the second address data, and
responsive to the comparison resulting in at least one of the extracted modifiers associated with the first address data matching at least one of the extracted modifiers associated with the second address data, transmitting a match notification.

4 more elements

A system comprising:

a processor;
and
a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
receive first address data and second address data;
extract any primary properties of the first address data and any primary properties of the second address data;
compare any extracted primary properties of the first address data to any extracted primary properties of the second address data;
and
responsive to the comparison resulting in no conflicting extracted primary properties existing between the first address data and the second address data:
compare extracted modifiers associated with the first address data to extracted modifiers associated with the second address data, and
responsive to the comparison resulting in at least one of the extracted modifiers associated with the first address data matching at least one of the extracted modifiers associated with the second address data, cause a transmission of a match notification.
