Account Mapping via Address Information Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies fail to establish an association relation between different account systems, leading to poor user experience in services like online payments, where users struggle to remember payment account numbers and service providers lack integration for various services.
Innovation Solution
An account mapping method and apparatus based on address information, which extracts and matches address features from multiple account systems to establish a mapping relation, using longitude and latitude, POI, and digit substring information to determine matching addresses and create a mapping relation between account systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users use application account numbers to access services, then service access is convenient, but payment processing requires additional payment account numbers that are difficult to memorize
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces address information as an intermediary element that bridges the application account system and payment account system. By extracting and matching address information from both systems, the patent enables automatic account mapping without requiring users to directly handle or memorize payment account numbers, thus resolving the contradiction between convenient service access and payment account memorability
2Adaptability or versatility
If different service providers maintain separate account systems, then each provider can manage its services independently, but integration between services becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by making address information a common element that can be used across different service providers and account systems. By extracting address information from various sources (application accounts, payment accounts, logistics information) and using it as a universal key for mapping, the system enables integration between otherwise independent account systems without requiring complex custom integration logic for each provider pair
Solution Approach 2:
Address information serves as a mediator that connects different service provider account systems. The mapping relationship established through address matching allows services from different providers to be integrated and accessed through a unified interface, reducing integration complexity while preserving provider independence
3Reliability
If address information is extracted and matched between different account systems, then account mapping can be established, but data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments address information into extractable components from different data sources (application account information, payment account information, logistics information). By systematically extracting address elements from each source and matching them through standardized processing, the patent reduces the overall complexity compared to handling complete, unstructured account mapping between systems
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a mapping relationship by copying and matching address information patterns between different account systems. Instead of directly mapping complex account structures, the system copies address data from multiple sources and uses it as a simplified key for establishing relationships, thereby reducing processing complexity while maintaining mapping reliability

AI summary
The present application relates to the field of network technologies, and in particular, to an account mapping method and apparatus based on address information, for establishing an association relation between different account systems. The account mapping method based on address information provided in an embodiment of the present application includes: extracting first address information respectively from multiple pieces of first account information provided by a first service provider, and extracting second address information respectively from multiple pieces of second account information provided by a second service provider; for each piece of extracted first address information, searching various pieces of extracted second address information for second address information matching the first address information; and after the second address information matching the first address information is found, establishing a mapping relation between the first account information to which the first address information belongs and the second account information to which the found second address information belongs.
