Abstract: A method and system are provided for processing large amounts of data associated with messages and other transmissions that are routed through a data communications system. A distributed system is used to process the data in parallel. The system includes a master processor and at least one additional processor. The master processor is responsible for obtaining the data and routine the data to the additional processors. The additional processors filter the data for information pertaining to the data and the filter results are combined. An on-demand filter can be run in parallel from a web server which allows dynamic filtering of information that is of interest at a particular time.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of modifying policy settings in a network having a plurality of subscriber devices. An embodiment includes a plurality of base stations, each capable of wirelessly transmitting across a geographic region and a server. A cell-phone, capable of roaming between regions, is operable to establish a wireless link with the base stations and through the base stations, with the server. The network contains a communication policy determining from which other communication devices a subscriber device can receive voice calls. The communication policy is updated, by the server, based on requests from the subscriber devices. Once a request is received from a subscriber device, the determination whether to update the communication policy can be based on a record of rejections respective to the caller requested to be blocked.
