  • Patent number: 11442969
    Abstract: To facilitate efficient entity resolution, systems and methods include a first dataset is received from a first database associated with a first entity and a second dataset is received from a second database associated with a second entity. A geo-grid is mapped to a geographical area covering the first entity data records and the second entity data records. A grid matching area in the geo-grid is generated for each first entity data record based on latitude data and longitude data of each first entity data record. Candidate matching records are determined from the second entity data records based on respective grid matching areas. Actual matching records are determined from the candidate matching records based on a threshold for a trigram similarity between each candidate matching record and the respective first entity data record.
