Abstract
A system and method for computer-aided heuristic adaptive attribute matching are disclosed. A system for computer-aided heuristic adaptive attribute matching comprises a server for receiving a status message and for further processing of the status message according to the following steps: (i) preparing a candidate list of the candidates; (ii) preparing a search list of search attributes; (iii) eliminating non-matching candidates; and, (iv) selecting a matching candidate. A method for computer-aided heuristic adaptive attribute matching in accordance with the invention comprises four steps. Those steps are: (1) preparing a candidate list comprising a plurality of candidates; (2) preparing a search list comprising at least one search attribute; (3) fuzzy matching at least one known attribute to the search attribute responsive to more than one candidate existing; and (4) returning a result of the fuzzy matching.
