  • Patent number: 11483428
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically detecting and blocking robocalls. A robocall application on a server network device detects whether incoming calls from a first network device requesting a connection to a second network device are live voice calls are robocalls including natural synthesized voice data or artificial synthesized voice data. The robocall application on a server network device also detects whether incoming or outgoing calls from a third-party network device used to connect the first network device to the second network device are live voice calls or are robocalls including natural synthesized voice data or artificial synthesized voice data. Robocalls are automatically detected and blocked.

  • Patent number: 11153435
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically blocking robocalls. A set of incoming call data is captured from the incoming call. The set of incoming call data, including captured audio data, is checked with plural different tests to determine if the robocall includes a voice call component. The plural different tests provide additional levels of detection for robocalls. The method and system automatically identify and process robocalls and help prevent call spoofing and neighbor spoofing by robocalls.

  • Patent number: 10805458
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically blocking recorded robocalls. Caller identification information from an incoming is checked with plural different tests and with one test that requires a caller input a selection input. Requiring a response from such a selection input provides an additional level of detection for recorded robocalls. In addition, plural different cloud based databases of known robocall numbers are checked with plural different tests with cloud based Software as a Service (SaaS) applications to provide other levels of detection for recorded robocalls. The method and system automatically identify and process recorded robocalls and help prevent call spoofing and neighbor spoofing by recorded robocalls.

  • Patent number: 9809439
    Abstract: A sanitary touch-free automatic condiment dispensing apparatus and method of use. The automatic sanitary touch-free condiment dispensing apparatus includes a two-stage detection process for detecting and automatically dispensing a pre-determined amount of a condiment/sauce (e.g., ketchup, mustard, mayo, food sauces, desert sauces, syrups, salad dressing, etc.) or another fluid (e.g., soap, shampoo, etc.). without accidental or wasteful dispensing.
