Abstract

A computer system of a first entity determines that one or more types of information are required for registering a user for a service associated with a service provider. The computer system configures a selectable user interface element to: upon selection, analyze electronic content in one or more databases associated with a second set of entities to identify, from the electronic content, one or more values associated with the user, the one or more values corresponding to the one or more types of information, and wherein the first entity is different from the second set of entities; and further cause the one or more values to be transmitted to the service provider.

Claims

1. A system of a first entity, comprising:

a non-transitory memory; and

one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising;

determining that one or more types of information are required for registering a user for a service associated with a service provider; and

configuring a selectable hyperlink to;

upon selection, analyze electronic content in one or more databases associated with a second set of entities to identify, from the electronic content, one or more values associated with the user, the one or more values corresponding to the one or more types of information, and wherein the first entity is different from the second set of entities, and

cause the one or more values to be transmitted to the service provider.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprise:

transmitting the configured selectable hyperlink to a device of the user to cause display of the configured selectable hyperlink to the user in association with an advertisement associated with the service provider.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the analyzing the electronic content to identify, from the electronic content, the one or more values associated with user comprises:

determining a certainty score for a first value of the one or more values, the first value corresponding to a first type of information of the one or more types of information;

in response to determining that the certainty score for the first value does not exceed a threshold score, analyzing additional electronic content to identify a second value associated with the user that corresponds to the first type of information;

in response to determining that a certainty score for the second value exceeds the threshold score, removing the first value from the one or more values, and adding the second value to the one or more values.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the analyzing the electronic content to identify, from the electronic content, the one or more values associated with user comprises:

determining a certainty score for each of the one or more values; and

wherein each of the one or more values transmitted to the service provider have a corresponding certainty score that meets or exceeds a threshold score.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the certainty score for each of the one or more values is determined by utilizing a probability distribution method.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the electronic content is content selected from a group consisting of:

email content, social media content, text message content, and public record content.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the causing the one or more values to be transmitted to the service provider further comprises causing the service provider to automatically register the user for the service associated with the service provider.

8. (canceled)

9. A method comprising:

determining that one or more types of information are required for a user to register for a service associated with a service provider;

accessing one or more databases associated with one or more entities to identify one or more values associated with the user, the one or more values corresponding to the one or more types of information; and

in response to the identifying the one or more values associated with the user, configuring a selectable hyperlink to, upon selection, cause transmission of the one or more values to the service provider.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the determining that the one or more types of information are required for registering the user for a service associated with the service provider includes communicating with a service provider server to identify that the one or more types of information are required for registering the user for the service.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the accessing the one or more databases associated with the one or more entities to identify the one or more values associated with the user includes:

determining a certainty score for a first value, the first value predicted to correspond to a first type of information of the one or more types of information;

determining a certainty score for a second value, the second value predicted to correspond to the first type of information;

in response to determining that the certainty score of the first value is higher than the certainty score of the second value, associating the first value with the first type of information and including the first value in the one or more values.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising determining that the certainty score of the first value meets or exceeds a threshold score.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein determining the certainty score for the first value further comprises identifying a number of instances that the first value is contained in one or more documents in the one or more databases, and further associating a weight to each of the one or more documents.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein determining the certainty score for the first value further comprises identifying a number of documents of one or more documents in the one or more databases that contain the first value, and further associating a weight to each of the one or more documents.

15. The method of claim 9, transmitting the configured selectable hyperlink to a device of the user to cause display of the configured selectable hyperlink to the user in an advertisement associated with the service provider.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the causing the one or more values to be transmitted to the service provider further comprises causing the service provider to automatically register the user for the service associated with the service provider.

17. The method of claim 9, wherein the determining that one or more types of information are required for a user to register with a service provider further comprises storing information describing the one or more types of information in a database in association with the service provider.

21. The method of claim 9, wherein accessing one or more databases comprises:

analyzing records of the one or more databases using natural language processing to identify information in the records corresponding to the one or more types of information.

18. A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

receiving a selection of a selectable hyperlink from a user;

in response to the selection, accessing electronic content in one or more databases associated with one or more entities;

determining, from the electronic content, one or more values associated with the user, the one or more values corresponding to one or more types of information that was required for the user to be registered for a service associated with a service provider, and wherein the one or more entities is different from the service provider, and

the one or more values to be transmitted to the service provider.

19. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 18, wherein the causing the one or more values to be transmitted to the service provider further comprises causing the service provider to automatically register the user for the service associated with the service provider.

20. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 19, wherein the determining includes:

determining a certainty score for a first value, the first value predicted to correspond to a first type of information of the one or more types of information;

determining a certainty score for a second value, the second value predicted to correspond to the first type of information; and

in response to determining that the certainty score of the first value is higher than the certainty score of the second value, associating the first value with the first type of information and including the first value in the one or more values.
