  • Patent number: 9704164
    Abstract: A system for validating hours of operation may include one or more computing devices and a memory. The one or more computing devices may receive hours of operation of a business for a day of a week and receive data items that are associated with a time of the day of the week, wherein the data items are also associated with the business being open or closed at the associated time of the day of the week. The one or more computing devices may determine, based at least in part on the data items, a likelihood that the hours of operation of the business for the day of the week are inaccurate. The one or more computing devices may provide to an electronic device associated with the business an indication that the hours of operation for the day of the week are likely inaccurate when the likelihood satisfies a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20150181036
    Abstract: A contextualized word to telephone number mapping system may include one or more computing devices and a memory. The one or more computing devices may receive a telephone number of a business and terms related to the business. The one or more computing devices may determine whether at least one of the terms can be mapped to the telephone number of the business based at least in part on an alphanumeric-to-numeric mapping. The one or more computing devices may provide at least one of the terms when at least one of the terms can be mapped to the telephone number of the business using the alphanumeric-to-numeric mapping, otherwise the one or more computing devices may provide an available telephone number to which at least one of the terms can be mapped using the alphanumeric-to-numeric mapping.
