  • Patent number: 10079933
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring, analyzing and acting upon voice calls in communication networks. An identification system receives monitored voice calls that are conducted in a communication network. Some of the monitored voice calls may be conducted by target individuals who are predefined as suspects. In order to maintain user privacy, the system selects and retains only voice calls that are suspected of being conducted by predefined targets. The techniques disclosed herein are particularly advantageous in scenarios where the network identifiers of the terminal used by the target are not known, or where the target uses public communication devices. In accordance with the disclosure, context-based identifiers such as speaker recognition or keyword matching are used.

  • Patent number: 9866507
    Abstract: A client system for monitoring elders in a residential setting, the client system comprising communication apparatus operative for sending real time localization data and elder body motion data toward at least one server configured for performing at least one elder-supporting backend service responsive to at least one of THE real time localization data and elder body motion data; and at least one real-time location subsystem including: at least one wearable (“tag”) including at least one ultra-wide-band (UWB) communication transceiver and an accelerometer operative for sensing at least one body motion of an elder wearing the tag thereby to provide the elder body motion data; and at least one anchor device for deployment in an elder's domicile including an ultra-wide-band (UWB) communication transceiver operative for real time sub-meter localization of the tag, thereby to provide the real time localization data.

  • Publication number: 20160014176
    Abstract: A system and method for content solicitation may include receiving, from a remote data server, a description of a target of interest. The server or a communication device may perform a proximity comparison between a location of the received target of interest and a location of the communication device. Based on the proximity comparison, a processor may operate the communication device to capture media content onto a recording device. The communication device may then transmit the captured media content to a remote content receiving server.

  • Patent number: 9179302
    Abstract: A Candidate Isolation System (CIS) detects subscribers of phone call services as candidates to be surveillance targets. A Voice Matching System (VMS) then decides whether or not a given candidate Communication Terminals (CTs) should be tracked by determining, using speaker recognition techniques, whether the subscriber operating the candidate CT is a known target subscriber. The CIS receives from the network call event data that relate to CTs in the network. The CIS detects candidate CTs using a unique candidate isolation process, which applies predefined selection criteria to the received call events data.

  • Patent number: 8483672
    Abstract: Methods and systems for monitoring mobile communication terminals. A correlation system selects candidate communication terminals to be monitored, and then attempts to identify whether the candidate terminals are indeed operated by target users. Following successful correlation of a candidate terminal with a target user, various surveillance actions can be performed with respect to the terminal. Correlation of candidate communication terminals with target users is based on identification of speech key-phrases. When evaluating a given candidate terminal, the system analyzes speech that is communicated via the candidate terminal and attempts to detect one or more of the speech key-phrases in the analyzed speech.
