Patent number: 8660593Abstract: A method and system for filtering unwanted wireless telecommunications includes structure and steps/function for monitoring traffic associated with roaming subscribers, the traffic being carried via inter-network Internet Protocol links. Structure and steps/function are also provided for intercepting a send-routing-information message from an originating node within the traffic, and initiating a response to the originating node so as to direct the originating node to send a short message service (SMS) or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) associated with the send-routing-information message to a SPAM-filter via an SMS or MMS delivery message. Structure and steps/function are further provided for receiving the SMS or MMS at the SPAM-filter, and determining, at the SPAM-filter, whether the SMS or MMS constitutes an unwanted message. Also, structure and steps/function are provided for invoking an action for managing the SMS based on results of the determining process.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2011Date of Patent: February 25, 2014Assignee: Redknee Inc.Inventors: Bohdan Zabawskyj, Armin Meisl, Rubens Rahim

Publication number: 20120327817Abstract: Disclosed is a species of control-message intercept method which includes a passive monitoring approach whereby the relevant control packets are inspected for the purpose of providing additional information for the purpose of facilitating the operation of some primary or ‘master’ Internet Protocol (IP) charging/rating middleware platform/ gateway system (intended to equip network operators with the ability to rate and bill IP traffic), and secondly, an invasive technique whereby control (GTP-C) messages are injected for the purpose of altering the state of a given data session in an more aggressive fashion (e.g. to drop a data session when the subscriber runs out of money in his/her prepaid account).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2012Publication date: December 27, 2012Applicant: REDKNEE INC.Inventors: Bohdan Zabawskyj, Rubens Rahim, Karthik Ramakrishnan

Patent number: 8131274Abstract: The invention of present speaks to a method and system for the prevention of unwanted wireless telecommunications which is implemented as part of a computer program product in (preferentially) the telecommunications operator's network, which meets and/or exceeds much of current, proposed and even academically anticipated legislative (and by necessity, technical) criteria, and indeed, thereby complies with the broader body of prima facie consumer requirements associated with wireless telecommunications spam filtering. Indeed, the invention provides for a remarkably flexible and customizable advance in the art through the utilization of a progressive filtering algorithm. This algorithm offers both the subscriber and the service provider with the capability to block and/or extract potentially harmful or unsolicited SMS, MMS and other such messages on the basis of an extensive range of parameters and rules.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2010Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: Redknee Inc.Inventors: Bohdan Zabawskyj, Armin Meisl, Rubens Rahim

Publication number: 20120036559Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for security management of an electronic device or subscriber are provided. In one aspect, the system includes a profile server and an inspection point server that are both connectable to a mobile electronic device. The mobile electronic device is configured to send contextual data such as location data or information pertaining to the identity of the subscriber from the device and into a network attached to the mobile electronic device. The profile server is configured to authorize (or deny authorization) the release of contextual data such as location data or information pertaining to the identity of the subscriber. The inspection point server is configured to intercept the contextual data such as location data or information pertaining to the identity of the subscriber being sent from the device and query the profile server to determine if the request was authorized.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2008Publication date: February 9, 2012Applicant: REDKNEE INCInventors: Bohdan Zabawskyj, Philip Steele, Vinay Kumar, Anthony Lau
