Patent ID: 7949156

Claim:
A method for analyzing a dataset comprising biographic data and biometric data, the method comprising: reading a first biographic record from a first dataset comprising a plurality of biographic records including the first biographic record, wherein each biographic record of the first dataset includes non-biometric data normally meant for unique description of an individual; using the non-biometric data to determine a first biometric associated with the first biographic record; reading from a second dataset, the first biometric associated with the first biographic record; reading from the second dataset, a plurality of biometrics associated with other biographic records, the other biographic records meant to be descriptions of individuals different than a first individual associated with the first biometric; correlating the first biometric with the plurality of biometrics associated with the other biographic records to determine a plurality of biometric scores; correlating the first biographic record with a plurality of the other biographic records associated with the plurality of biometrics to determine a plurality of biographic scores; determining a plurality of aggregate scores for associated biometrics and biographic records by combining respective ones of the biometric scores with respective ones of the biographic scores; and assessing uniqueness of the first biographic record based, at least in part, on the aggregate scores.
