Abstract
An input comprising a name to be matched is received, where the name includes a plurality of words. A first name set corresponding to the name is determined, where the first name set includes a plurality of elements. Each of the plurality of words is matched with each of the plurality of elements based on a similarity degree to generate a standard name set. Whether the name is synonymous with at least one standard name in the standard name set is determined, where one or more characters of the name is not identical with one or more characters of the standard name. In response to determining that the name is synonymous with the at least one standard name, a matching result of the name is generated.
