SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING UNWANTED CALL ORIGINATION IN COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031479 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING UNWANTED CALL ORIGINATION IN COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method and system for identifying and locating the source of unwanted communication in a communications network. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves creating a database that stores data of communication campaigns and instances of those campaigns that are automatically identified.
  • The instances of the campaigns are then matched against known communication traffic of cooperating telecommunication carriers.
  • The communication campaigns in the database include related fingerprints and patterns that identify a sequence of characters, audio, or video associated with instances of the same campaign.
  • The campaigns can be either legitimate or illegitimate/fraudulent.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Identifying and locating the source of spam emails, text messages, or phone calls.
  • Tracking down the source of phishing campaigns or other fraudulent communication.
  • Assisting law enforcement agencies in investigating and prosecuting cybercriminals.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • It helps in reducing unwanted communication and spam, improving the overall user experience.
  • It enables the identification and tracking of malicious actors involved in fraudulent communication.
  • It provides a systematic approach to analyzing and categorizing communication campaigns.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved network security and protection against cyber threats.
  • Enhanced user privacy by reducing unwanted communication.
  • Efficient identification and mitigation of fraudulent activities.
  • Facilitates collaboration between telecommunication carriers in combating unwanted communication.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method and system for discovering and locating the source of unwanted communication origination in a communications network, the method comprising compiling a communication campaign database storing data of one or more communication campaigns along with automatically identified instances of those campaigns, and simultaneously or sequentially matching those instances against known communication traffic of a set of cooperating telecommunication carriers. the one or more communications campaigns include a grouping of related fingerprints and patterns that identify a sequence of characters, audio or video associated with instances of a same likely campaigns, either legitimate or illegitimate/fraudulent.
