  • Patent number: 11962718
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing automated robocall detection. In various embodiments, a computing system may compare first abstracted raw data, obtained from a portion of call data from a first call from a first originating party, with each of a plurality of abstracted raw data, obtained from portions of call data from a plurality of calls from a corresponding plurality of originating parties. In some instances, the plurality of abstracted raw data and the first abstracted raw data may each include at least one of word count data, phoneme count data, inter-word timing data, voice pitch estimation data, and/or background noise data. The computing system may determine whether the first abstracted raw data is indicative of the first call being a suspected unsolicited or unwanted communication, based at least in part on the comparison. If so, the computing system may perform one or more tasks.

  • Publication number: 20230239397
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing enhanced 911 call functionalities. In various embodiments, in response to receiving a 911 call request from a caller using a calling device associated with an originating telephone number (“TN”), a computing system may determine whether a user profile associated with the caller and/or the originating TN contains registered third parties on a 911 call notification list. Based on a determination that the user profile contains at least one registered third party on the 911 call notification list associated with the caller and/or the originating TN, the computing system may send a message to each of the at least one registered third party indicating that the caller has called 911, and/or may establish a listen-in only bridged connection, a full bridge connection, or a shared communication to the 911 call for each registered third party.
