System and method for multi-stage tail number acquisition
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving data on an aircraft from a plurality of data sources, the data including a tail number of the aircraft;
correlating a first data from a first data source with a second data from a second data source to create correlated data on the aircraft;
storing the correlated data in a database, wherein, if the database includes a previously stored record for the aircraft, the correlated data is used to modify the previously stored data and stored in the previously stored record, and wherein, if the database does not include a previously stored record for the aircraft, the correlated data is stored in a new record;
receiving a request including further data, the further data being related to the aircraft;
querying the correlated data in the database using the further data; and
returning the tail number of the aircraft based on the querying.

6. A system, comprising:
-
a multi-stage tail number database storing data relating to a plurality of aircraft, the data including a tail number for at least a portion of the aircraft; and a correlation engine receiving the data from a plurality of data sources, the correlation engine correlating a first data received from a first data source with a second data received from a second data source to create correlated data on the aircraft and populating the data into the multi-stage tail number database, wherein, the database includes a record for each aircraft and when correlated data is related to one of the plurality of aircrafts, the record for the corresponding aircraft is modified to include the correlated data, wherein, when correlated data is received for an aircraft that does not have a corresponding record, a new record is created in the database and the correlated data is stored in the new record. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system comprising a memory storing a set of instructions and a processor for executing the instructions, the instruction being operable to:
-
receive data on an aircraft from a plurality of data sources, the data including a tail number of the aircraft; correlate a first data from a first data source with a second data from a second data source to create correlated data on the aircraft; store the correlated data in a database, wherein, if the database includes a previously stored record for the aircraft, the correlated data is used to modify the previously stored data and stored in the previously stored record, and wherein, if the database does not include a previously stored record for the aircraft, the correlated data is stored in a new record; receive a request including further data, the further data being related to the aircraft; query the correlated data in the database using the further data; and return the tail number of the aircraft based on the querying.
