AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing call-blocking technologies are inadequate in effectively identifying and blocking unwanted communications, as they rely on predetermined lists or caller ID spoofing, failing to provide comprehensive protection against unsolicited calls and messages.

Method used

A data processing system that utilizes communication fingerprinting to identify callers as wanted or unwanted by comparing inbound messages to a database of stored fingerprints, analyzing features such as phone number, message duration, call frequency, keywords, and speech patterns, and deploying a bot to interact with unknown callers to record and transcribe calls for further analysis.

Benefits of technology

Effectively blocks unwanted communications while allowing desired ones to reach the recipient, reducing distractions and costs associated with unsolicited calls and messages.

Abstract

A method for identifying communicators as wanted or unwanted based on messages from such communicators comprising receiving, by the data processing system, an inbound message from a communicator, comparing, by the data processing system, the inbound message to fingerprints stored in a database accessible to the data processing system, determining, by the data processing system, at least one match to the fingerprints, determining, by the data processing system, an identity of the communicator by determining whether and how likely the communicator is wanted or unwanted based on the at least one match to the fingerprints, and configuring, by the data processing system, handling of calls from the communicator based on the identity, system and method for identifying unwanted communications using communication fingerprinting
