Patent number: 11049204Abstract: A method for automatically detecting block legal billing is described where the technique analyzes each billing entry in the legal bill for visual or textual aspects that indicate that a list of billing items is included in the block. The technique utilizes a combination of textual analysis for punctuation characters, count of the number of verbs, or a search for conjunctions. A visual analysis is match the image of the billing item with a predetermined image of a list. Essentially, a novel natural language processing technique is described that identifies lists in a block of text, where the block of text is in the context of a legal bill.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Bottomline Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Scot Calitri

Patent number: 10699075Abstract: 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 Levenshtein distance algorithm. For each comparison, the Levenshtein distance 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Bottomline Technologies, IncInventors: Brian Amend, Sean Glerum, Melissa Kutsch, Jessica Moran
