Simplified Explanation

Abstract Explanation

The patent application describes methods and systems for preventing illegitimate calls from being connected within a telecommunications network. It involves receiving an incoming call notification with caller information, sending a provisional response with callee information, and then sending a request to a second device to determine if it initiated the call. If the second device did not initiate the call, an action is taken to prevent the call from being connected.

  • Incoming call notification is received from the telecommunications network
  • Provisional response is sent with callee information
  • Request is sent to second device based on caller and callee information
  • Response from second device is received
  • Action is taken to prevent connection of the call if second device did not initiate the call

Original Abstract Submitted

Various embodiments may include methods and systems for avoiding connecting an illegitimate call within a telecommunications network. Various embodiments may include receiving, from a telecommunications network, an incoming call initiating message notifying the first wireless device of an incoming call, in which the incoming call initiating message includes caller information. Some embodiments may further include transmitting a provisional response message including callee information of the first wireless device in response to receiving the incoming call initiating message, transmitting a request message to a second wireless device based on the caller information and the callee information, determining whether the second wireless device initiated the incoming call based on a response message from the second wireless device, if received, in response to the request message, and taking an action to prevent connection of the incoming call in response to determining that the second wireless device did not initiate the incoming call.
