| 20080198993 | Lawful Interception Method and Architecture for Transparent Transmission of Interception Information - Method for providing intercepted Content of Communications CC information from Intercepting Control Element ICE to at least one Law Enforcement Monitoring Facility LEMF through Delivery Functions in a telecommunications network, comprising the steps of: splitting the intercepted CC information into CC control information and CC payload information; at a Lawful Interception Content of Communications Control Point LI CC CP, receiving the CC control information and processing the CC control information; at an LI CC Gateway, receiving the CC payload information from the ICE over a payload interface X3, said LI CC Gateway being controlled by said LI CC CP according to said CC control information; and at said LI CC Gateway, switching the CC payload information to said at least one LEMF over a payload Handover Interface 3 HI3. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20090141883 | IP-based call content intercept using repeaters - A computer-readable medium for performing IP-based call intercept includes instructions for receiving call initiation data, a first IP packet from the first communications device, and a second IP packet from a second communications device, generating copies of the first IP packet and the second IP packet, and transmitting one of the first IP packets to the second communications device according to the call initiation data, another of the first IP packets to a surveilling agency computer system without encoding a decoding the IP packet, one of the second IP packets to the first communications device according to the call initiation data, and another of the second IP packets to the surveilling agency computer system without encoding or decoding the IP packet. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090168987 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE TO ERRONEOUS TELEPHONE CALLS - A method and system for providing directory assistance to erroneous calls. The method and system includes an intercept system that intercepts erroneous calls and automatically routes them to a directory assistance service. The directory assistance service provides a least one advertisement and a variety of other services to the callers using a business subscriber information service, a white page database service; a yellow pages database service; a business intelligence database service; rule-based expert system service; and/or an Internet search service. The directory assistance service accepts fees from advertisers, businesses and providers of the variety of services to refer information to callers. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090175431 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE TO ERRONEOUS TELEPHONE CALLS - A method and system for providing directory assistance to erroneous calls. The method and system includes an intercept system that intercepts erroneous calls and automatically routes them to a directory assistance service. The directory assistance service provides a least one advertisement and a variety of other internal and external information services to the callers using a business subscriber information service, a white page database service; a yellow pages database service; a business intelligence database service; and/or an Internet search service. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100086119 | LAWFUL INTERCEPTION IN WIRELINE BROADBAND NETWORKS - Systems and methods are provided for lawful interception of data transmissions through at least one broadband network. Data transmissions, including voice and data services as well as high bandwidth transmissions such as multimedia and video, are intercepted and routed to authorized agencies such as law enforcement monitoring facilities. The systems and methods also enable interception of data transmissions such as peer to peer type data transmissions that pass through broadband networks from source to recipient without passing through centralized core network elements. These transmissions are intercepted at access points distributed throughout the broadband networks and forwarded to lawful intercept node elements for transmission to authorized entities. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20120008759 | CALL INTERCEPTOR - An apparatus for selectively allowing calls to a device, such as a fax machine, that may receive calls on a signal line. The apparatus is arranged to, upon detecting an incoming call, initiate a blocking period during which the incoming call is prevented from reaching the device, and to terminate the blocking period when a predetermined threshold, for example a number of rings or period of time, has elapsed, and upon termination of the blocking period to initiate said enabled time period. Hence, incoming calls are not prevented from reaching the device if their duration exceeds the predetermined threshold. The apparatus helps to reduce the number of unwanted calls being received since spam calls commonly emanate from automated sending devices with a ring duration that is typically less than that of legitimate callers. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20130034224 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE TO ERRONEOUS TELEPHONE CALLS - A method and system for providing directory assistance to erroneous calls. The method and system includes an intercept system that intercepts erroneous calls and automatically routes them to a directory assistance service. The directory assistance service provides a least one advertisement and a variety of other services to the callers using current caller data and to one or more alternative numbers for the callers. | 02-07-2013 |
| 20130034225 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE TO ERRONEOUS TELEPHONE CALLS - A method and system for providing directory assistance to erroneous calls. The method and system includes an intercept system that intercepts erroneous calls and automatically routes them to a directory assistance service. The directory assistance service provides a least one advertisement, directory assistance information and a variety of other information and services to the callers based on a highest expected revenue value of the advertisement or directory assistance services provided. | 02-07-2013 |
| 20130301822 | PARALLEL FORKING WITH AOR CHAINING - The concept of chained parallel forking is introduced. Addresses of record are included in a contactee's contact resolution preferences to enable an incoming INVITE message to be routed to one or more users as well as other devices, per the contactee's contact resolution preferences. A communication system configured to execute the chained parallel forking contact resolution process is also described. | 11-14-2013 |
| 20140192969 | OPTIMIZED CALL HANDLING FOR RECYCLED TELEPHONE NUMBERS - In a method for processing a telephone call, a telephone call originating from a first telephone number and being placed to a second telephone number is intercepted, the second telephone number being previously associated with a telephone service account of a first customer and currently associated with a telephone service account of a second customer. A determination that the first customer is more likely the intended recipient of the telephone call than the second customer is made. Making the determination includes determining that the first telephone number is included at a point in time in a call history of the second telephone number when the second phone number was associated with the telephone service account of the first customer. An action relating to the call is performed in response to the determination that the first customer is more likely the intended recipient of the telephone call than the second customer. | 07-10-2014 |
| 20150036812 | System for Connecting Two Client Entities - A system is provided for connecting a first client entity to a second client entity in a communications network. The first client entity has subscribed to a connection service. A routing module routes via a connecting device a first call made by the second client entity to the first client entity and redirected to a third client entity. The connecting device inserts a linking module for the interception of the first call. A first branch is established between the second client entity and the linking module and a second branch is established between the linking module and the third client entity. The connecting device then detects a second call associated to the connection service made by the first client entity via the linking module, and then connects the first and second client entities by connecting the first branch and this second call by means of the linking module. | 02-05-2015 |
