  • Patent number: 11395147
    Abstract: A telecommunications service provider's real time analysis system analyzes communications data to detect potentially fraudulent communications data, where the analysis is performed in real time in the routing path of the communications data. The communications data may include calls (e.g., SS7, VoIP, etc. based calls) and messages (e.g., SMS, MMS, etc.). The real time analysis system rejects potentially fraudulent communications data and non-fraudulent communications data in order to be used in real time in the routing path of the communications data. A rejection by the real time analysis system may cause non-fraudulent communications data to still be sent to the intended destination of the communications data. The real time analysis system can be in the routing path of the communications data without further routing non-fraudulent communications data traffic to the next appropriate hop in the routing path.

  • Patent number: 11190638
    Abstract: A method that detects unwanted calls based on information shared between a first telecommunications network provided by a first service provider and a second service provider providing a second telecommunications network including receiving, by a data-processing system, a request to provide a telecommunications service to the first telecommunications network, the request being received by the first telecommunications network from a user of the first telecommunications network through a first gateway, and wherein the request comprises a calling party identification that identified a calling party and a called party identification that identified a called party.

  • Patent number: 10447740
    Abstract: A system and method for connecting a call from an originating endpoint of a calling party to a terminating endpoint of a called party. The system comprises: a first computer system configured to i) receive, from a second computer system, a plurality of subscriber identifiers for a first over-the-top (OTT) call service, comprising a subscriber identifier of the called party, ii) receive, from a third computer system, a first series of plural updates for a predetermined connection characteristic and corresponding to the subscriber identifier of the called party, and iii) generate a signal for controlling the call, wherein the signal indicates to route the call either a) via the first OTT call service or b) via a different call service, based the first series of plural updates; and a networking device configured to route the call to the terminating endpoint, based on the signal.
