Abstract: Unsolicited electronic communications such as robocalls and person-initiated solicitation calls are reduced by imposing tolls for completion of the connections to the called parties, and refunding the tolls to the entities indicated by the electronic communications as the calling parties. In this way, a dishonest originator of a spoofed call bears the cost of the toll, and the toll is not refunded to the dishonest originator. On the other hand, the toll collected from an honest originator of a non-spoofed call is refunded to the honest originator, making the toll transparent to the honest originator and avoiding annoyance of the honest caller caused by the toll. Unsolicited calls may be subjected to filtering, particularly filtering based on the indications of the origins of the calls.

Abstract: The disclosed method encompasses moving an object such as a medical device or instrument to a desired spatial position based on tracking data provided by a tracking system. Once it is determined from the tracking data that the object has reached the desired spatial position, a projection image is generated, which is registered with the desired spatial position and shows the object. Based on the image data, it is possible to verify whether the object has actually reached the desired position, or whether the object's actual position deviates from the desired position due to errors or inaccuracies, allowing measures to be taken to compensate for these errors or inaccuracies.
