Patent number: 11924369Abstract: Provided is a voice communication system that notifies a terminal device of transmission restriction information when the number of received voice signals reaches a predetermined number. A server device continuously counts the number of simultaneously received voice signals. A first terminal device transmits, to the server device, a voice signal with identification information of a second terminal device. The server device transfers, to the second terminal device, the voice signal transmitted from the first terminal device. However, when the number of simultaneous receptions of the voice signals reaches a predetermined restriction value, the server device transfers, to the second terminal device, the received voice signal with transmission restriction information attached thereto. The second terminal device does not transmit a voice signal, even if a user performs a transmission operation, during reception of the voice signal with the attached transmission restriction information.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: ICOM INCORPORATEDInventor: Hisaaki Matsushima

Patent number: 11889024Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for passive caller verification and/or passive fraud risk assessments for calls to customer call centers. Systems and methods may be used in real time as a call is coming into a call center. An analytics server of an analytics service looks at the purported Caller ID of the call, as well as the unaltered carrier metadata, which the analytics server then uses to generate or retrieve one or more probability scores using one or more lookup tables and/or a machine-learning model. A probability score indicates the likelihood that information derived using the Caller ID information has occurred or should occur given the carrier metadata received with the inbound call. The one or more probability scores be used to generate a risk score for the current call that indicates the probability of the call being valid (e.g., originated from a verified caller or calling device, non-fraudulent).Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Pindrop Security, Inc.Inventors: John Cornwell, Terry Nelms, II
