Abstract: An illustrative behavior analysis system and a corresponding method are designed to analyze telecommunications-event records and other relevant records associated with wireless terminals to infer whether a wireless user's pattern of behavior is substantially similar or even identical to the pattern of behavior of another user, possibly a known actor. A pattern of behavior typically comprises call-related and location attributes over a period of time. Accordingly, the illustrative embodiment infers an identity or a substantial similarity as between two seemingly distinct users of wireless terminals, based on: (i) how precisely a candidate's pattern of behavior matches a pre-defined pattern of behavior, and/or (ii) how precisely a candidate's pattern of behavior matches another candidate's pattern of behavior.

Abstract: An illustrative geo-temporal analysis system analyzes telecommunications-event records and other records associated with wireless terminals to infer a collaborative relationship between users who do not telecommunicate with each other, based on how precisely a first geo-temporal pattern matches a second geo-temporal pattern. When a collaborative relationship is inferred, the system transmits an indication thereof and a request for an estimated location of the respective wireless terminals.

Abstract: A behavior analysis system analyzes large volumes of records that report on telecommunications events associated with wireless terminals. The behavior analysis system filters the large volume of available records based on investigation-specific rules, resulting in a set of candidate wireless terminals. The illustrative embodiment determines a pattern of behavior for each candidate. Each candidate is measured for how precisely it satisfies the investigation-specific rules. Each candidate is further analyzed for aberrations, if any, relative to the established pattern of behavior. An aberration tends to prove or disprove whether a candidate is more likely to be a true suspect in the given investigation.

Abstract: A method and system, employing IP telephony, for providing continuous, uninterrupted voice communications during disaster conditions wherein the disaster site telephone infrastructure has been rendered inoperable or inaccessible. The system uses Voice over IP (VoIP) and emerging IP telephony standards to enable users to receive telephone calls, normally destined for their work phone, at a personal computer terminal connected to the Internet. Users can also place calls from their terminal to the PSTN or to other users on the system. Combining telephone line redirection with IP telephony capabilities enables the construction of a system that provides users with unlimited flexibility in responding to a severe business interruption with full voice communications. The system can be customized so calling parties will be presented with precisely the same greetings and messages, for each user telephone extension, that were present in the disaster site's telephone system.
