  • Patent number: 12615334
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for allocating originating calling party identifiers based on call traffic and population data. In exemplary embodiments, call records are ingested through a network interface and processed by classification, mapping, threshold evaluation, and quantity calculation modules. Results are persisted in structured databases and rendered as machine-actionable files and vector-encoded reports for automated procurement and compliance monitoring. The system incorporates stratified sampling to optimize performance on large datasets, caching to reduce latency, and audit logging with cryptographic integrity checks to ensure tamper-evident reconciliation. Identifier allocation can be applied across numbering plan areas, exchange blocks, IP address ranges, and URL-based partitions, enabling use across legacy and modern communication infrastructures.

  • Patent number: 12464073
    Abstract: The present invention relates to call routing, caller identification management, and telecommunications reputation and brand analysis. It provides methods for increasing call connections to consumers across multiple communications networks by analyzing call reputation and branding data associated with an originating calling party identifier and selecting the identifier with the most favorable reputation and accurate branding. The methods include configuring computing devices with distinct receiving called party identifiers, initiating inquiry call attempts to capture calling party reputation and brand analysis data, and communicating the data to a server. If an inquiry call attempt fails, a second attempt is made to an alternate receiving called party identifier. The server determines a preferred originating calling party identifier based on a computed risk factor derived from reputation and brand analysis data across multiple networks.

  • Patent number: 12244761
    Abstract: The present invention relates to originating calling party identifier lifecycle management methods that include the steps of capturing calling party reputation data for each originating calling party identifier with pending lifecycle status. Changing from pending to ready lifecycle status when calling party reputation data indicates correct labeling. Changing ready to warm-up and throttling up originating calling party identifier use frequency over a warm-up period, then setting lifecycle status active. Throttling down originating calling party identifier usage when lifecycle status is active and originating calling party identifier sustained use threshold is reached over a throttle-down period, then setting lifecycle status to cool-down. And, resting the originating calling party identifier for a non-use resting period before setting the lifecycle status to pending, and restarting the lifecycle management.

  • Patent number: 12107990
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of managing brand identity, security, and reputation delivered by communications networks by monitoring calling party reputation data associated with an originating calling party identifier used on the communications network. In operation, a first inquiry received call is attempted with the originating calling party identifier received at a computing device that is configured with a receiving called party identifier. The computing device captures a plurality of calling party reputation data and communicates it to a number sentry server. If the first attempt fails a second attempt is executed to a different computing device and different receiving called party identifier on the same communication network. The plurality of calling party reputation data is saved, tracked, and analyzed at the number sentry server, and brand identity, security, and reputation reports associated with the originating calling party identifier are generated and available to authorized users.

  • Patent number: 9325596
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for initiation, use, access, and control of functionality of a network. In one aspect, the systems and methods can be utilized to generate information defining signaling or control performance and operational characteristics associated with the functionality in a variety of network environments. In another aspect, based on such information, adaptive signaling can be utilized to monitor, analyze and detect specific signaling signatures associated with the functionality. Managing signaling or control messages in response to information collected by monitoring and analyzing the adaptive signaling permits originating or requesting the functionality without conventional operation of a network component.

  • Patent number: 5788843
    Abstract: A structure for treating water used in public water supplies for removing dissolved gases. The installation includes a closed outer tank for storage of water and a vented inner tank for water aeration contained at least partially within the outer tank. The inner tank includes a column of packing media for aerating the water which is delivered from the ground water source to a point above the column. A flow of air is delivered into the outer tank above the water level, and an air inlet causes air to flow into the inner tank and through the column in counter-current flow to the water. The air is then vented to the atmosphere.
