Patent number: 8655353Abstract: Disclosed is an enhanced system and method for bridging calls across telecommunications networks, including an illustrative application of the invention as it relates to international roaming among prepaid wireless subscribers. For instance, whenever wireless subscribers roam internationally they may invoke the system by keying in an Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) short code followed by the number to be dialed. Said subscriber's prepaid account is then decremented in real-time (until such account is fully depleted). A key feature of the disclosure generally is the bridging of the call legs between the wireless subscriber initiating the telephone communication and that of the receiving party through a series of general purpose databases and computers without requiring modifications to existing core network or handset infrastructure.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2013Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Redknee Inc.Inventors: Bohdan K. Zabawskyj, Rubens Rahim, Lucas Skoczkowski

Patent number: 8396075Abstract: The art of present discloses a method and system for enabling mobile network operators to collect charging information from various other network elements; and indeed, is intended to exploit the resiliency of open network architecture and lessen the requisite dependency on proprietary network elements services and billing systems. The Open Charging (OC) middleware platform and gateway system interacts with proprietary network elements and effectually creates a unifying, enabling layer in mobile networks. Indeed, the art is directed at permitting mobile subscriber access to, among others, third party content and services with the simplicity and convenience of such charges appearing on either mobile phone bill, or decremented from said mobile subscriber's pre-paid account.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2011Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Redknee Inc.Inventors: Lucas Skoczkowski, Rubens Rahim

Patent number: 8346599Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for providing a complete architectural and procedural solution to wireless subscriber loyalty issues. A flexible promotion creation environment allows mobile phone operators to rapidly create and deploy various incentive programs and other such loyalty schemes; together with a data mining and profiling method for tracking, monitoring and analysing subscriber (or aggregate) usage information associated with given promotions. The proposed data mining and profiling method purposely incents specific subscriber behaviors by triggering a point-based reward scheme based on the dynamic screening of event records which are correlated with incented behaviors. Wherein a threshold is assigned based on usage information for a particular promotion; upon realization of which, the subscriber is, immediately notified of the reward through a plurality of means including e-mail, voice notification and by way of Short Message Service (SMS) at their wireless handset.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Redknee, Inc.Inventors: Shyam Sheth, Rubens Rahim, Joel Hughes, Wai-see Candy Wong, Lucas Skoczkowski

Patent number: 7881286Abstract: A method of distributing and executing service logic across private and public networks for the generation and provision of telecommunication services is disclosed. The functionality and capabilities associated with both Intelligent Network (IN) and non-IN compliant elements of a public telecommunications system are abstracted using a set of control and informational parameters and variables which are associated with a given network element or network element category. A service creation and execution application programming interface provides access to a service creation and execution environment which is distributed in public network gateways, private network gateways, and in compatible software platforms.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2006Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: Redknee Inc.Inventors: Bohdan Konstantyn Zabawskyj, Duncan Ratcliffe, Rubens Rahim, Lucas Skoczkowski
