  • Patent number: 12634252
    Abstract: A method can include receiving, from an input device processor associated with an input device, a request to transmit a text message to a terminating mobile device, the request comprises an invocation key indicating a user request to generate multimedia content. A method can include parsing the request to identify the invocation key and parsing the request to identify a set of descriptors for generating the multimedia content. A method can include generating, based on the set of descriptors, a prompt for providing to a generative AI model. A method can include transmitting the prompt to the generative AI model. A method can include receiving the generated multimedia content from the generative AI model. A method can include generating the text message including the generated multimedia content.

  • Patent number: 12561536
    Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a voicemail translation service of a telecommunications network. The voicemail translation service can receive a voicemail message communicated from a calling party to a called party. The voicemail translation service calls an application programming interface (API) to upload the voicemail message to a transcription service, which completes transcription of the voicemail message in a default language. In response to determining that the default language of the completed transcription does not match a target language of the called party, the voicemail translation service triggers another API to generate a translation of the transcription in accordance with the target language. The voicemail translation service then stores the translated transcription in a voicemail storage system that is accessible by the called party.

  • Patent number: 12302453
    Abstract: A mobile device, via a roaming platform, can switch IMSIs (e.g., Home IMSI-1, Roamer IMSI-2, etc.) depending on a location of the mobile device. Upon switching IMSIs, the roaming platform can forward the update location to an HLR of the home network and roaming network. If the MMSC on the home network receives an MMS message, the MMSC on the home network may query the HLR for a current location. From the query, if the message recipient is roaming, the MMSC on the home network may communicate with the MMSC on the roaming network to deliver the message. As a result, the roaming network can handle the routing of the message without a data session routed back through the home network.

  • Publication number: 20250141822
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing an anti-spam artificial intelligence service. Initially, a message is received at a user equipment (UE) corresponding to a user. Text corresponding to the message is forwarded to an anti-spam engine to determine if the message is spam. A response is received, at the UE, from the anti-spam engine. The user is prompted, at the UE, to select an action to perform corresponding to the message. In various aspects, the action is to ignore, delete, or read the message.

  • Publication number: 20240056779
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a safe sender list of one or more provider devices corresponding to one or more messages via a telecommunication network include a cell site and a safe sender system communicatively coupled to the cell site and a receiver device. The safe sender system to receive a message history including one or more messages, based on the message history, determine a subscriber relationship corresponding to one or more message exchanges between the receiver device and a provider device, the one or more message exchanges corresponding to a minimum exchange threshold, and generate a safe sender list including a provider identifier corresponding to the provider device in response to the determined subscriber relationship between the receiver device and the provider device.

  • Patent number: 11165910
    Abstract: Automated unavailability response for call handling is used to notify an incoming caller that a subscriber is unavailable to answer the incoming call. An incoming call that is initiated from an originating caller device is received at a network server for routing to a terminating user device of a specific subscriber. A user profile of the specific subscriber that includes one or more unavailability notification settings for the incoming call is retrieved from a user profile database. An unavailability notification message is selected from a data store based at least on the one or more unavailable notification settings. The unavailability notification message is sent from the network server to the originating caller device.

  • Publication number: 20200210373
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for storing and/or retaining message object data for subscribers of a wireless network. The systems and methods introduce a storage architecture that retains message objects in both hot storage (or local storage) and cold storage (remote or archive storage), to comply with the OMA and/or GSMA standards. After certain events associated with the message objects occur, such as an expiration of a time-to-live (TTL) parameter for the message objects, the systems and methods purge or remove message objects from the local storage, but maintain the message objects in the remote storage location.
