Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for determining a person that matches a user request. A user request may be received that includes identification information at least partially identifying a person other than the requesting user, the request including a name of the person. Personal information regarding the requesting user and validated personal information regarding individuals potentially matching the request may be retrieved. A score may then be determined for each potentially matching individual, where the score is determined by comparing the personal information regarding the requesting user and the validated personal information regarding the given individual. A matching individual may then be determined based on the determined scores.
