Real-time Internet data mining system and method for aggregating, routing, enhancing, preparing, and analyzing web databases

摘要

A real-time Internet data mining system comprising a database, data processing, clustering, segmentation, and classification algorithms, and a networking server. The system receives customer account data from subscriber servers and prepares it for analysis. The data is transmitted to third-party data depositories. The third-parties append selected consumer behavioral information matched by a key, such as a physical or an e-mail address. The appended information is returned to the data mining system where multiple algorithms analyze the accounts based on a desired prediction. The scored accounts and analyses are returned to the originating subscriber servers for use in marketing communications.
