  • Call screening service for communication devices
    Patent number: 11889021
    Abstract: One example method of operation may include collecting call metric data over a predefined period of time for identified calls, querying the call metric data to identify whether one or more call filtering criteria parameters require changes, determining one or more call filtering criteria parameters require changes based on a deviation from one or more expected call metric data values included in the call metric data, modifying one or more of the call filtering criteria parameters, and updating an active call scam model stored on a call processing server based on the one or more call filtering parameters.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 13, 2023
    Date of Patent: January 30, 2024
    Assignee: FIRST ORION CORP.

  • Call screening service for communication devices
    Patent number: 11729314
    Abstract: One example method of operation may include identifying a call from a caller and destined for a callee, receiving a data message associated with the call, forwarding the data message to a call processing server, processing the data message to identify one or more call parameters, comparing the one or more call parameters to an active call scam model applied by the call processing server, determining a scam score for the call based on the comparing of the one or more call parameters to the active call scam model applied by the call processing server, and determining whether to notify the callee that the call is a scam based on the scam score.

  • Call screening service for communication devices
    Patent number: 11368583
    Abstract: One example method of operation may include identifying call data associated with a received call, identifying call parameters from the call data, and the call parameters include one or more call routing parameters associated with call routing of the call and one or more call session parameters associated with a call session of the call, assigning weights to one or more of the call routing parameters and the call session parameters, determining a scam score for the call based on a sum of the weights applied to the call routing parameters and the call session parameters, and blocking the call when the scam score is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold scam score.

  • Call screening service for communication devices
    Patent number: 11368582
    Abstract: One example method of operation may include receiving one or more data messages, identifying calls and corresponding call data from the one or more messages, identifying call parameters from the call data, applying a call activity filter criteria to the call parameters to identify a suspect sub-set of the call parameters which indicate an elevated likelihood of call scam, forwarding the call parameters and the suspect sub-set of call parameters to one or more call data tables, and assigning one or more scam designation threshold scores to the suspect sub-set of the call parameters in the one or more call data tables.
