Patent number: 8918891Abstract: The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, a device, system, and method for resolving the identity of at least one person and listing their identity information attributes. The system detects intentional and improper falsifications of the person's personal identity information. The system calculates a manipulation score that indicates the likelihood that the person intentionally and improperly attempted to manipulate their identity information. The manipulation score can be based on the number, type, and systematic nature of the person's variations in their identity information. The system also calculates a collection of identity manipulation attributes that describe explicitly the manner of the improper manipulation, such as the number of Social Security numbers used.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2012Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: ID Analytics, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Coggeshall, Wenzhong Zhao, Viktoria Rojkova

Patent number: 8386377Abstract: A technique is provided for determining credit ratings without the need for traditional credit bureau data. In at least one embodiment of the invention, a method comprises the steps of providing a network of linked identity records, each identity record comprising identity related information; receiving an identity record comprising identity related information of the entity; linking the received identity record with at least one of the identity records in the network of linked identity records, quantifying a plurality of linked identity records related to the entity; and generating a credit rating for the entity based on the quantified identity records. Application of the invention is particularly useful for individuals with less than a few years credit behavior recorded on a credit bureau, such as immigrants or young people with limited traditional historical information (“thin file”) and individuals with no traditional historical information (“no hit”).Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2008Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: ID Analytics, Inc.Inventors: Shanji Xiong, Jianjun Xie, Yinghua Lin, Guowei Wu, Quan Lu, Stephen Coggeshall
