Patent number: 11698955Abstract: Some implementations provide input-triggered user verification. This may involve trigging a user verification (e.g., capture of an image, sound, fingerprint, etc.) to verify a user's identity based on input (e.g., typing) received ad the device. Triggering the user-verification based on receiving input may help ensure that the image, sound, fingerprint, etc. is captured at a time when the user is close to the device, touching the finger-print sensor, and/or in view of the camera during the capturing. Some implementations provide user verification based on a user-identification of a previously selected image. This may involve using an inmate-selected picture or other image to recover a forgotten alphanumeric reference. Some implementations of the invention disclosed herein provide user verification based on a computer-vision identification of a wearable identification tag. This may involve using an image of the user's identification tag worn on the user's wrist to verify the user's identity.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Confinement Telephony Technology, LLCInventors: Timothy Edwin Pabon, John Vincent Townsend, III, Robert James Deglman, Rick Allen Lubbehusen

Patent number: 11658497Abstract: Implementations disclosed herein provide a charging station configured to attach to or be positioned adjacent to a wall in a confinement institution and to simultaneously charge multiple tablets, mobile phones, laptops, or other portable electronic devices. In some implementations, the charging station is configured with protective sides that may help protect inserted electronic devices from damage. The charging and use of the electronic devices within the confinement institution may be automatically managed based connections at the charging stations, communications with the electronic devices, audio, images, or video of the electronic devices or users captured cameras on the charging station or the electronic devices, and/or information provided by the users.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Confinement Telephony Technology, LLCInventors: John Vincent Townsend, III, Rick Allen Lubbehusen, Jeffrey Adam Livaudais, Timothy Edwin Pabon, Johnnie Richard Tayloe

Patent number: 11075964Abstract: Systems and techniques for permitting, establishing, monitoring and controlling calls based on messages from outside parties, outside party availability information, institution's call restriction information, and/or account holder preferences. In one example, a message from an outside party app on an outside party computing device is receive by an inmate app on an inmate device. The inmate device displays the message at the inmate calling app including a request for the inmate to call the outside party device during a time period. When the inmate initiates a call to the outside party the call is permitted or not permitted based on determining whether the call is within the specified time period.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2020Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: CONFINEMENT TELEPHONY TECHNOLOGY, LLCInventors: Todd Russell Thomasson, Margaret Suzanne Haffner, Zachary Alan Way, Timothy Edwin Pabon, Johnnie Richard Tayloe

Patent number: 10237404Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for establishing inbound calls and outbound calls involving inmates and outside parties. One exemplary technique receives input identifying authorized sources who are authorized to initiate and conduct calls with an inmate and stores a list of the authorized sources. The list, for example, can include telephone numbers, VOIP caller identifiers, and/or call privileges associated with the sources. The technique receives an inbound call directed to the inmate and determines whether the source of the inbound call is authorized or not, for example, by comparing information about the source with information in the list of authorized sources and/or based on the call privileges. If the source is authorized, the call is permitted. If not the technique routes the call to a payment interface for the caller to provide payment information.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2017Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: CONFINEMENT TELEPHONY TECHNOLOGY, LLCInventors: Zachary Alan Way, Timothy Edwin Pabon, Todd Russell Thomasson, Rick Allen Lubbehusen
