System and Method for Merging Internet Protocol Address to Location Data from Multiple Sources
First Claim
1. A method for associating a geographic location with an Internet protocol address (IP address), the method comprising:
- determining whether a first geographic location associated with a first IP address in a first IP address to location data set is the same as a second geographic location associated with the first IP address in a second IP address to location data set; and
storing an association between a geographic location and the first IP address in a third IP address to location data set based at least on whether the first and second geographic locations are the same.

Abstract
Systems and methods for associating a geographic location with an Internet protocol (IP address) are disclosed. Generally, an IP address to location module determines whether a geographic location is associated with a common IP address in a majority of IP address to location data sets. The IP address to location module then stores an association between a geographic location and the IP address in a master IP address to location data set based on whether a geographic location is associated with a common IP address in a majority of IP address to location data sets.
