Patent number: 11966372Abstract: A novel technique for matching, merging, and combining a new database record with a master database record is described herein. The technique uses specific fields to compare in a unique exact match and fuzzy match combination to determine if a non-exact matching record pair is indeed a matched pair. Once the match is established, the records are merged or combined to utilize the best information from the two records.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2020Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Bottomline Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Richard Gagne, Michelle Cloutier, Brian Amend, Sean Glerum

Publication number: 20230139699Abstract: A computer-implemented method for matching user inputted text to stored text. The user inputted text is compared to each of the text strings stored in a database using a string similarity score determined using a Levenshtein distance algorithm, the n-gram or trigram methods, the Jaro-Winkler algorithm, the Cosine similarity algorithm, the Hamming distance algorithm, the Damerau-Levenshtein distance algorithm, or similar. For each comparison, the string similarity score is analyzed to determine exact matches, non-matches, and probable matches. Probable matches are further analyzed using a keyboard distance algorithm to differentiate between matches and non-matches. The keyboard distance is determined by counting a number of key movements required to move from one key to another using diagonal movements.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 29, 2021Publication date: May 4, 2023Applicant: Bottomline Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sean Glerum, Melissa Kutsch, Brian Amend, Jessica Moran
