  • Patent number: 8924488
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices that classify mobile messages and associated mobile message senders are presented. A communication network can comprise a message abuse detector component (MADC) that evaluates a mobile message, for example, labeled as abusive in an abuse report. The MADC can evaluate information relating to the abuse report, wherein the evaluations can include an abuse-report-hash-ratio, an abuse-report-sender-ratio, correlation of mobile message content to known spam content or non-spam content, and/or evaluation of reputation of the mobile message sender or abuse report sender, etc. Based at least in part on the evaluation, the MADC can classify mobile message as spam, subscription related, or as another type of mobile message, and can identify, select, and execute (e.g., automatically) a desired abuse management action(s) based at least in part on the evaluation and predefined message abuse criteria.

  • Patent number: 8892136
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices that identify abusive mobile messages and associated abusive mobile communication device users are presented. A core network can comprise a message abuse detector component (MADC) that can selectively or randomly monitor or sample mobile messages communicated in the core network. The MADC can evaluate origination and destination address information and can identify abusive mobile messages and associated abusive mobile message senders based at least in part on the respective address information and predefined message abuse criteria. The MADC also can distinguish between spam mobile messages, subscription mobile messages, harassing mobile messages, and other mobile messages, and can identify and implement a desired response (e.g., automated response) to the abusive mobile message.
