Abstract
A computer-implemented method for identifying accounts with which an individual does business. The computer receives an access credential for at least one message source and analyzes a plurality of messages in the message source. From the analysis, a plurality of institutions are identified and a system account is created on the computer that is preloaded with the institutions.
Claims21
A computer-implemented method for identifying accounts with which an individual does business, the method comprising:
- accessing a message stream, the message stream being associated with a message source, the message source requiring an access credential to access messages;
- analyzing a plurality of messages in the message stream using the computer and the access credential;
- responsive to the analyzing, inferring a plurality of institutions that the individual has a business relationship with;
- and
- creating a system account on the computer, the system account including the plurality of institutions preloaded.
A system comprising:
- a storage,
- a network interface, and
- a computer system, the computer system coupled in communication with the network interface and the storage, the computer system including a controller programmed to:
- receive an access credential for at least one message source at the computer over the network interface;
- analyze a plurality of messages in the message source accessed over the network interface through use of the access credential;
- responsive to the analysis, infer a plurality of institutions that the individual has a business relationship with;
- and
- create a system account on the storage, the system account including the plurality of institutions preloaded.
An apparatus for identifying accounts with which an individual does business, the apparatus comprising:
- means for receiving an access credential for at least one message source at a computer;
- means for analyzing a plurality of messages in the message source using the computer and the access credential;
- means for responsive to the analyzing, inferring a plurality of institutions that the individual has a business relationship with;
- and
- means for creating a system account on the computer, the system account including the plurality of institutions preloaded.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving an access credential for at least one message source at a computer;
- analyzing a plurality of messages from the message source using the computer and the access credential and a plurality of templates;
- responsive to the analyzing, generating a summary of information about household accounts extracted from the plurality of messages using the computer.
