Systems and methods of managing a database of alphanumeric values
First Claim
1. A system for historical vehicle analysis, comprising:
- a communication circuit configured to transmit and receive information over a communication network;
an interface configured to allow user operation and interaction via the communication network; and
a processor configured to execute computer-executable instructions in order to;
provide data to and receive data from the interface,receive, via the interface, a first list of records, the list comprising one or more alphanumeric records, wherein at least one unique identifier exists for each alphanumeric record;
generate a second list of records comprising one or more alphanumeric records based on validating each of the alphanumeric records of the first list, wherein only validated alphanumeric records of the first list are included in the second list;
for each alphanumeric record in the second list;
generate a request for one or more database records from one or more databases based on the at least one unique identifier,transmit the request to the one or more databases via the communication network, andreceive the one or more database records from the one or more databases via the communication network, wherein each received database record includes a history of events associated with the at least one unique identifier;
determine, for each received one or more database records, whether the database record is received from an exclusive database of the one or more databases;
filter the received one or more database records to identify a subset of database records, wherein each record in the subset includes a negative history event and is received from the exclusive database, wherein the negative history event includes one or more of an accident, a theft, vehicle damage, or a title issue;
determine a count of records in the subset;
determine whether the count exceeds a corresponding threshold value;
automatically generate an electronic, negative event notification when the count exceeds the threshold value; and
transmit the electronic, negative event notification to a remote user device via the communication circuit.

Abstract
One aspect of the subject matter described herein comprises a database management system. The database management system comprises a communication circuit, an interface, and a processor. The communication circuit receives information from databases via a communication network. The interface allows user operation and interaction via the communication network and the database management system. The processor provides data to and receives data from the interface, including a plurality of alphanumeric records comprising at least one unique identifier, obtains database records from other databases for each unique identifier, identifies a number of alphanumeric records in the plurality having events in their histories, determines a percentage of alphanumeric records in the plurality having negative events in their histories, generates a report including the determined percentages, and conveys the report to the user.

9. A method of historical vehicle analysis, comprising:
-
receiving, via an interface, a first list of records, the list comprising one or more alphanumeric records, wherein at least one unique identifier exists for each alphanumeric record; generating a second list of records comprising one or more alphanumeric records based on validating each of the alphanumeric records of the first list, wherein only validated alphanumeric records of the first list are included in the second list; storing the second list of records in a database; for each alphanumeric record in the second list; requesting one or more database records from one or more databases via a communication network based on the at least one unique identifier, and receiving the one or more database records from the one or more databases via the communication network, wherein each received database record includes a history of events associated with the at least one unique identifier; determining, for each received one or more database records, whether the database record is received from an exclusive database of the one or more databases; filtering the received one or more database records to identify a subset of database records, wherein each record in the subset includes a negative history event and is received from the exclusive database, wherein the negative history event includes one or more of an accident, a theft, vehicle damage, or a title issue; determining a count of records in the subset; determining whether the count exceeds a corresponding threshold value; automatically generating an electronic, negative event notification when the count exceeds the threshold value; and transmitting the electronic, negative event notification to a remote user device via the communication circuit. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. Non-transitory, computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computer system, configure the computer system to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving, via an interface, a first list of records, the list comprising one or more alphanumeric records, wherein at least one unique identifier exists for each alphanumeric record; generating a second list of records comprising one or more alphanumeric records based on validating each of the alphanumeric records of the first list, wherein only validated alphanumeric records of the first list are included in the second list; storing the second list of records in a local database; for each alphanumeric record in the second list; requesting one or more database records from one or more databases via the communication network based on the at least one unique identifier, and receiving the one or more database records from the one or more databases via the communication network, wherein each received database record includes a history of events associated with the at least one unique identifier; determining, for each received one or more database records, whether the database record is received from an exclusive database of the one or more databases; filtering the received one or more database records to identify a subset of database records, wherein each record in the subset includes a negative history event and is received from the exclusive database, wherein the negative history event includes one or more of an accident, a theft, vehicle damage, or a title issue; determining a count of records in the subset; automatically generating an electronic, negative event notification when the count exceeds the threshold value; and transmitting the electronic, negative event notification to a remote user device via the communication circuit.
