  • Publication number: 20090279677
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium embodying a computer program for securing a communication against access by unintended users is presented. A communication is initiated from a person using an originating telecommunication device to an intended receiving wireless telecommunication device. In response to the communication failing to connect to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device, a telecommunications host carrier provider may re-route the communication to an alternate telecommunication device. A business authentication logic of the host carrier then determines any security or quality of service filters established by the user of the originating telecommunication device prior to the communication being initiated to prevent unintended users from accessing the communication. Upon the business authentication logic of the host carrier authorizing the communication, the communication is encrypted and re-routed to the alternate telecommunication device.

  • Patent number: 7539660
    Abstract: An automated method for creating only the necessary joins in a SQL query. The present invention comprises a Query Program (QP), a Query Generation Program (QGP), and a Clause Generation Program (CGP). The QP accepts the query fields, filters, and sort criteria from the user, generates the query, sends the query to the database, and displays the query results. The QGP creates the query clause strings and inserts the strings into the SQL template. The QGP generates the SELECT, (filter) WHERE, and ORDER BY clauses. The QGP analyzes each parameter in a parameter list to determine if the parameter is on the added aliases list. If the parameter is not on the added aliases list, the QGP runs the CGP for the parameter. The CGP generates the FROM, JOIN, and (join) WHERE clauses and adds the clauses to the appropriate clause strings.
