Abstract

The Multi-Source, Multi-Dimensional, Cross-Entity, Multimedia Centralized Personal Information Database Platform Apparatuses, Methods And Systems (“CPDB”) transform data aggregated from various computer resources using CPDB components into updated entity profiles and/or social graphs. Using generated correlations and associated attributes, the CPDB generates an updated profile and social graph of the entity. The CPDB provides the updated profile and social graph for an automated web form filling request.

Claims

1. A centralized personal information platform processor-implemented method for enhancing transaction speed through reduction of user input data transfer requirements, comprising:

aggregating data records from a plurality of content sources;

querying a data aggregation database for at least one data aggregation normalization template corresponding to the aggregated data records;

identifying at least one matched data field type by determining that at least one first data field included in the aggregated data records includes a data field type that matches at least one normalization data field type included in the at least one data aggregation normalization template, wherein the at least one first data field includes at least one data value;

generating a normalized data record by creating a copy of the at least one data aggregation normalization template and populating the copy of the at least one data aggregation normalization template with the at least one data value from the at least one first data field with the matched data field type of the at least one normalization data field type;

identifying a first entity in the aggregated data records using the matched data field type and the at least one data value of the at least one first data field;

associating attributes to the first entity by applying inference rules to the matched data field type and the at least one data value of the at least one first data field;

associating an entity type to the first entity by applying entity classification rules to the matched data field type and the at least one data value of the at least one first data field;

querying the data aggregation database to identify a second entity associated with at least one second data field including at least one data value and data field type that matches the at least one data value and data field type of the at least one first data field;

establishing a cross-entity correlation between the first entity and the second entity based on the matching of the at least one data value and data field type of the at least one first and second data fields;

generating an updated profile and social graph of the first entity using the associated attributes, the associated entity type, and the cross-entity correlation, wherein the social graph graphically depicts interrelationships at least between the first entity and the second entity;

generating an updated distributed linking node mesh database using the first entity based on the updated profile and social graph of the first entity;

providing the updated distributed linking node mesh database for searching; and

based on generating the updated profile and social graph, conducting a search for additional data records from the plurality of content sources, the additional data records being related to the established cross-entity correlation between the first entity and the second entity.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the content source is search results.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the content source is purchase transaction data.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the content source is service usage data.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the content source is service enrollment data.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the content source is email data.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the content is social data.

8. The method of claim 1, additionally comprising:

querying a dictionary database to determine a dictionary short-hashing template corresponding to the aggregated data records; and

applying the dictionary short-hashing template to the aggregated data records.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein applying the dictionary short-hashing template to the aggregated data records includes storing the result in a distributed dictionary lookup mesh.

10. The method of claim 9, additionally comprising:

wherein a hybrid key/value structured file system is used for utilizing capabilities of both a key/value store and a structured file system.

11. The method of claim 10, additionally comprising:

storing a modified version of the aggregated data records in the distributed dictionary lookup mesh.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the modified version of the aggregated data records is associated with the key containing a plurality of identified fields in the aggregated data records.

13. The method of claim 1, additionally comprising:

extracting a logic procedure from the at least one data aggregation normalization template.

14. The method of claim 13, additionally comprising:

executing the logic procedure on the aggregated data records.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein generating an updated distributed linking node mesh database includes identifying a deduced entity not present in the distributed linking node mesh database.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the deduced entity is a product.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the deduced entity is an item for sale.

18. The method of claim 15, wherein the deduced entity is a user preference to engage in transactions during time periods.

19. The method of claim 15, wherein the deduced entity is a user'"'"'s affinity for a product type.

20. A centralized personal information platform processor-implemented method for enhancing transaction speed through reduction of user input data transfer requirements, comprising:

aggregating data records including search results, purchase transaction data, service usage data, service enrollment data, email data and social data;

querying a data aggregation database for at least one data aggregation normalization template corresponding to the aggregated data records;

parsing the at least one data aggregation normalization template to determine at least one normalization data field type included in the data aggregation normalization template;

parsing the aggregated data records to determine at least one data field in the aggregated data records, wherein the at least one data field includes data values and is associated with a data field type;

determining that the data field type of the at least one data field in the aggregated data records matches the at least one normalization data field type of the at least one data aggregation normalization template to identify at least one matched data field type;

based on the determination of the at least one matched data field type, generating a 1;

1 mapping between data fields of the at least one data aggregation normalization template and the aggregated data records;

generating a normalized data record by creating a copy of the at least one data aggregation normalization template and populating the copy of the at least one data aggregation normalization template with at least one data value from the at least one data field with the matched data field type of the at least one normalization data field type;

identifying at least one entity based on the at least one matched data field type and the associated data values;

associating attributes to the at least one entity by applying inference rules to the at least one matched data field type and the associated data values;

generating an updated profile and social graph of the at least one entity using the associated attributes, wherein the social graph graphically depicts interrelationships at least between the at least one entity and additional entities;

updating a distributed linking node mesh database using the at least one entity based on the updated profile and social graph of the at least one entity;

providing the updated distributed linking node mesh database for an automated web form filling request; and

based on generating the updated profile and social graph, conducting a search for additional data records from search results, purchase transaction data, service usage data, service enrollment data, email data and social data, the additional data records being related to the updated distributed linking node mesh database.
