  • Patent number: 11330097
    Abstract: A system and method for incoming and outgoing RCS messages with inmates includes a database including a plurality of user records, wherein the user records include a plurality of user profiles and a plurality of inmate profiles, wherein each of the user profiles includes a user ID, a mobile ID, a carrier, and at least one inmate account number. Each of the inmate profiles includes an inmate user ID, a carrier, a current account balance, and at least one user account number. The system and method also includes an application server including a processor programmed to receive a RCS message from a new user profile, determine a carrier of the user profile, process the new user profile based on the carrier, wherein the carrier is determined by a triggering event, and send the new user profile to an appropriate list for future RCS messaging.

  • Patent number: 11277511
    Abstract: A system and method for incoming and outgoing electronic messages with inmates includes a database including user records having user profiles and inmate profiles, and action event records. The system and method are programmed to associate at least one inmate account number with a specific SIM card or phone number, detect the triggering event, trigger the action event to be performed based on the triggering event, perform the action event data based on the action event. The action event data includes determining whether the user profile is a current user or a new user, receiving at least one inmate account number associated with the message, processing the message according to predetermined criteria, upon determining that the user profile is a current user pairing the message with the at least one inmate account number, and sending the message to the at least one inmate account number.
