Problems solved by technology

Although the format of the table is relatively simple, the size of the table is enormous, making it substantially impractical to confirm that each IP range is mapped correctly

Embodiment Construction

[0022] Various aspects of the technology described herein are generally directed to a technique by which a data source is used to normalize a context signal (context data) for a large number of user input requests. To this end, user requests and correctness metrics on returned replies from data sources are used to improve the accuracy of returned data for future requests with associated context signals.

[0023] For example, a user query directed to a search engine may result in location-based results being returned based on a reverse IP address lookup (a mapping from an IP address to a location including city, state, and country) using one of several reverse IP address databases. A measure of user satisfaction with location-based results can be used to determine how accurate a reverse IP address lookup is, e.g. whether a user clicks on a returned location-based result (indicating likely satisfaction), or submits another query (indicating likely dissatisfaction) . By dividing...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to increasing the accuracy of information returned for contextual signals. The present disclosure is directed to techniques by which the accuracy of context-based information provided by at least one data source with respect to received context data is increased. Correctness information received in association with use of the context-based information of the lookup is logged. The correctness information can be processed to increase the overall accuracy by correcting the data sources and / or by creating a blended data source comprising the most likely accurate portion determined via the correctness information from among multiple data sources (Segmentation).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to computing environments, and in particular to increasing the accuracy of information returned for contextual signals. Background technique [0002] Users generate contextual signals that often need to be normalized before being used by a software system. Examples include IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, Wi-Fi signals, and cell tower information, which some software systems need to convert into GPS locations or into city, state, country tuples (etc.) for use by those systems. Another example includes a weather application based on a given user's GPS location. Yet another example is a reverse phone directory service, where, given a phone number, the service returns information (such as name and address) about the owner of the number. [0003] In location-based scenarios and other such scenarios, there may be multiple data sources that may provide the requested information. For example, there are multiple sources of dat...
