Systems and Methods to Match Identifiers
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, in a computing apparatus, first user data associated with first user identifiers used by a first user tracker to track first online activities of users;
receiving, in the computing apparatus, second user data associated with second online activities of respective first account identifiers that uniquely identify accounts in a transaction handler; and
matching, by the computing apparatus, the first user data with the second user data to identify mapping between the first user identifiers and the first account identifiers.

Abstract
In one aspect, a system includes a transaction handler to process transactions, a data warehouse to store transaction data recording the transactions processed at the transaction handler and to store mapping data between first user identifiers and first account identifiers, a profile generator to generate a profile of a user based on the transaction data, and a portal coupled to the transaction handler to receive a query identifying a second user identifier used by the first tracker to track online activities of a user. The system is to identify a second account identifier of the user from the second user identifier based on the mapping data between the first user identifiers and the first account identifiers to facilitate targeted advertising using the profile of the user and/or to provide information about certain transactions of the user related to a previously presented advertisement.

17. A computer storage medium storing instructions which, when executed on a computer system, cause the computer system to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
receiving, in a computing apparatus, first user data associated with first user identifiers used by a first user tracker to track first online activities of users; receiving, in the computing apparatus, second user data associated with second online activities of respective first account identifiers that uniquely identify accounts in a transaction handler; and matching, by the computing apparatus, the first user data with the second user data to identify mapping between the first user identifiers and the first account identifiers.

18. A system, comprising:
-
a transaction handler to process transactions, each of the transactions being processed to make a payment from an issuer to an acquirer via the transaction handler in response to an account identifier of a customer, as issued by the issuer, being submitted by a merchant to the acquirer, the issuer to make the payment on behalf of the customer, the acquirer to receive the payment on behalf of the merchant; a data warehouse to store transaction data recording the transactions processed at the transaction handler and to store mapping data between first user identifiers and first account identifiers, the mapping data generated from matching first user data associated with the first user identifiers used by a first user tracker to track first online activities of users and second user data associated with second online activities of the first account identifiers that uniquely identify accounts in the transaction handler; a profile generator to generate a profile of a user based on the transaction data, the profile including a plurality of values representing aggregated spending of the user in various areas to summarize transactions of the user; and a portal coupled to the transaction handler to receive a query identifying a second user identifier used by the first tracker to track online activities of a user, and to identify a second account identifier of the user from the second user identifier based on the mapping data between the first user identifiers and the first account identifiers. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
