Patent number: 11968330Abstract: A system and method of providing caller identification (ID) over a public switched telephone network (PSTN). For outbound calls, the system and method enable a caller to provide a caller ID that differs from the native caller ID of their mobile phone. The system and method enable multiple phones tied to a single account to display the same caller ID for outbound calls. For forwarded inbound calls, such as calls being forwarded from an office, the system and method inform the recipient of the identification of the call as well as that the call is being forwarded. The system and method enable the recipient to have calls forwarded from more than one number and identify the identity of the caller as well as the specific number the call is being forwarded from.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2023Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Successful Cultures, Inc.Inventor: Michael Gayaldo

Patent number: 11962719Abstract: An electronic device and method for real-time verification of Caller IDs for live-human and robot call filtering is provided. A first electronic device receives an incoming first call from a second electronic device associated with a Caller identification (ID). The first electronic device transmits a verification text message to the second electronic device using the Caller ID, while the first call is still incoming. The first electronic device receives a response to the verification text message and compares the received response with a pre-defined response. If the response is correct and received within a predefined time, the first electronic device allows the call to connect. If a correct response is received beyond the predefined time, the Caller ID is added to a whitelist so that a next call from the same Caller ID is received automatically. In such case, the current first call is redirected to a voicemail system.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: SONY GROUP CORPORATIONInventor: Brant Candelore
