Patent number: 11972228Abstract: The present disclosure relates to merging database tables. Systems and methods may involve performing a comparison between the first set of records and the second set of records and identifying a plurality of record pairs based on the comparison. Each record pair may comprise a record in the first set of records and a record in the second set of records. In addition, A feature signature may be generated for each record pair by comparing field values in each record pair. The feature signature may be classified to identify at least one related record pair. A merged database table may be generated such that it comprises the at least one related record pair and comprises a set of unique records among selected from the first set of records and the second set of records.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2022Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: AMPERITY, INC.Inventors: Derek Slager, Stephen Meyles, Yan Yan, Carlos Sakoda

Patent number: 10599395Abstract: The present disclosure relates to dynamically merging database tables according to user specified parameters. A user may specify a threshold confidence level that relates to a likelihood that two database records represent the same real-world entity. In addition, a user may specify a merge rule such as desired fields or a manner for consolidating the variations of the information in desired fields from the related records. The original database tables are preserved so that users can iteratively create new dynamically merged database tables by varying the parameters.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Amperity, Inc.Inventors: Derek Slager, Stephen Meyles, Yan Yan, Carlos Sakoda

Patent number: 8874460Abstract: Healthcare marketing data may be cleaned and normalized according to data validity and/or data canonicity rules prior to being merged into a healthcare marketing database. The merging process may include a fuzzy de-duplication operation utilizing a configurable field scoring table for automatically identifying matching and non-matching records. Potential duplicates that cannot be automatically resolved may be provided to an operator to provide merge or no-merge instructions.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2011Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Appature, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Hahn, Derek Slager, Ken Harris

Patent number: 8745413Abstract: Personally-identifying, protected health information (“PHI”) is stored in encrypted form in protected data records, and hash values derived from the PHI are stored in associated search records. A healthcare marketer may identify market segments of individuals by querying the search records using hashed query predicates, identifying protected data records based on the search record results, and providing anonymized data-record results to the healthcare marketer. Once a market segment has been anonymously identified, the marketer may cause personalized marketing messages to be generated for individuals in the market-segment without the marketer having been exposed to PHI associated with those individuals.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2012Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Appature, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Hahn, Derek Slager
