Patent number: 8750482Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with the present invention screen calls. A first server receives information pertaining to a call to a user from a calling party. The first server then determines whether a real-time call management function is enabled for the user and determines whether a calling party number associated with the calling party is valid when the realtime call management function is not enabled. A call screening function is performed when the calling party number is invalid. The first server provides a notification of the call to a device associated with the user when the real-time call management function is enabled. A second server initiates the call screening function when the user selects a call screening option included in the notification.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2003Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignees: Verizon Data Services LLC, Telesector Resources Group, Inc.Inventors: Robert A.
