Abstract

A system for querying web pages to validate entity names is disclosed. The disclosed system receives a request for validating an entity name. The system identifies a search web link based on the information in the request. The system converts the request to a format appropriate for a search web page corresponding to the search web link. Then, the system sends the formatted request to the search web page via the search web link. The system receives a result web page and extracts a set of result entity names. The system then computes a hash value for the entity name in the request and each of the result entity names. Next, the system compares the hash value computed for the entity name in the request with hash values computed for each of the result entity names and determines a matching score for each of the result entity names based on the comparison of the hash values.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A system for querying web pages to validate entity names, comprising:

a memory configured to store a search dictionary, the search dictionary configured to store a plurality of search web links, each of the plurality of search web links corresponding to a search web page, each search web page having a corresponding search format;
a web server configured to store a plurality of search web pages corresponding to the plurality of search web links;
a querying engine communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to:
receive a request for validating an entity, the request comprising an entity name associated with the entity and a first field name for validating the entity, the first field name identifying a first search web page corresponding to a first search web link in the search dictionary;
identify a first search web link in the search dictionary based on the first search web page identified by the first field name;
convert the request to a first format corresponding to the first search web page identified by the first field name;
send the request having the first format to the first search web page in the web server via the first search web link;
and
receive, from the first search web page, a result web page;
a parsing engine configured to extract a set of result entity names and a set of result web links from the result web page;
and
an authentication engine configured to:
compute a hash value for the entity name in the request by applying a predetermined hash function to the entity name in the request;
compute a set of hash values for the set of result entity names by applying the predetermined hash function to each of the set of result entity names;
compare the hash value for the entity name in the request to each of the hash values for the set of result entity names;
determine a matching score for each of the set of result entity names based on the comparison;
and
rank the set of result entity names based on the determined matching score for each of the set of result entity names.

15 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a logic for querying web pages to validate entity names, the logic, when executed by one or more processors, instructing the one or more processors to:

store a search dictionary, the search dictionary configured to store a plurality of search web links, each of the plurality of search web links corresponding to a search web page, each search web page having a corresponding search format;
store a plurality of search web pages corresponding to the plurality of search web links;
receive a request for validating an entity, the request comprising an entity name associated with the entity and a first field name for validating the entity, the first field name identifying a first search web page corresponding to a first search web link in the search dictionary;
identify a first search web link in the search dictionary based on the first search web page identified by the first field name;
convert the request to a first format corresponding to the first search web page identified by the first field name;
send the request having the first format to the first search web page in the web server via the first search web link;
receive, from the first search web page, a result web page;
extract a set of result entity names and a set of result web links from the result web page;
compute a hash value for the entity name in the request by applying a predetermined hash function to the entity name in the request;
compute a set of hash values for the set of result entity names by applying the predetermined hash function to each of the set of result entity names;
compare the hash value for the entity name in the request to each of the hash values for the set of result entity names;
determine a matching score for each of the set of result entity names based on the comparison;
and
rank the set of result entity names based on the determined matching score for each of the set of result entity names.
