SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING DATA FIELDS FOR REMOTE ADDRESS CLEANSING

摘要

A system and method for identifying data fields for remote address cleansing, whereby a plurality of address file hash values are stored and associated with a plurality of known address data file profiles. An uploaded address file is received at the processing site from a sender who wishes to have his address list processed. A received address data file profile is identified for the uploaded address the. A first hash value is calculated based on the identified received address data the profile. The first hash value is compared with the stored plurality of address the hash values. If the first hash value matches one of the stored plurality of hash values, then the known address data profile of the matching stored hash value is associated with the uploaded address file. If the first hash value does not match any of the stored plurality of hash values, then preparing a new address file profile, generating a new hash of the new profile, and storing the new profile along with the associated new hash.

1. A method of recognizing and verifying data formats of received address lists for address cleansing, the method comprising:
storing a plurality of address file hash values associated with a plurality of known address data file profiles, the a dress data file profiles including address data file formats and data field structure; receiving an uploaded address file: identifying a received address data the profile of the uploaded address file; calculating a first hash value based on the identified received address data file profile; comparing the first hash value with the stored plurality of address the hash values to determine whether the received address data file has a known data format and structure; and if the first hash value matches one of the stored plurality of hash values, then associating the known address data profile of the matching stored hash value with the uploaded address file; if the first hash value does not match any of the stored plurality of hash values, then preparing a new address file profile, generating a new hash of the new profile, and storing the new profile along with the associated new hash.
