A voicemail system (also known as voice message or voice bank) is a computer-based system that allows users and subscribers to exchange personal voice messages; to select and deliver voice information; and to process transactions relating to individuals, organizations, products, and services, using an ordinary telephone. The term is also used more broadly to denote any system of conveying a stored telecommunications voice messages, including using an answering machine. Most cell phone services offer voicemail as a basic feature; many corporate private branch exchanges include versatile internal voice-messaging services, and *98 vertical service code subscription is available to most individual and small business landline subscribers.

Ai agent in visual voicemail daemon

Disclosed is technology that analyzes voicemail data and takes a particular action based on the analysis of the data. For example, a user device (e.g., a smart phone) can receive a voicemail from an external caller and analyze data representative of the voicemail with an artificial intelligence agent. The artificial intelligence agent can utilize contextual data including user device contextual data and past voicemail contextual data to determine the appropriate task to perform based on the voicemail. Based on that determination, the user device can automatically perform the task that is relevant to the voicemail on behalf of the user.

Voice message and interactive voice response processing system and method

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the voice message analysis system receives a voice message from a voicemail system, performs a voice-to-text transcription, and applies a set of rules to the transcription of the voice message. The actions have associated data that is used when implementing the action. The rules specify criteria for triggering various actions that map to functions of the voicemail system or other functions. The actions have associated data that is used in implementing the actions. A voice message analysis system applies the voice message analysis rules to the transcript of the voice message. Based on a determination that the voice message matches a voice message analysis rule, the voice message system implements the appropriate action, such as by programmatically calling the appropriate function of the voicemail system and providing data for the function based on the data associated with the first action.

Method for preventing voicemail and message inbox flooding within mobile networks

Techniques and architecture are described for preventing bad actors or scammers from flooding voicemail, as well as SMS / MMS message inboxes, of mobile devices associated with users of mobile networks. A server / database may determine if messages and calls are from a bad actor or scammer. Thus, when a mobile originating (MO) device originates a signal for sending to a mobile terminating (MT) device utilizing one or more mobile networks, the components of one of the mobile networks may query the server / database to determine if the signal, e.g., phone call or message, is from a scammer. If the signal is a call from a scammer, an announcement may be provided to the MO device that the MO device is attempting to reach is busy. In the situation where the signal is a message, (e.g., a SMS or a MMS message), a notification may be provided to the MO device indicating delivery failure.

Advanced SIP-based caller identification and voicemail analysis system for fraud prevention in telecommunications

Systems and processes are disclosed for a multi-layered approach to fraud prevention by leveraging a machine learning engine integrated with the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to attempt caller identification before transitioning to a voice call, allowing for the potential blocking of unwanted calls. If SIP-based identification remains inconclusive, an anomaly detection engine employing the Viterbi algorithm analyzes the caller's speech patterns during voicemail messages. The Viterbi algorithm converts spoken language into text, identifying suspicious characteristics such as unusual speech patterns, inconsistencies, and keywords associated with scams. If suspicious characteristics are detected, the system automatically blocks callback attempts and notifies the customer of potential spam or unwanted calls. This proactive approach addresses both live and recorded fraudulent calls, enhancing the security of telecommunications by preventing fraudulent interactions before they can cause harm. The system continuously learns from new data, adapting to evolving fraud tactics, providing robust, long-term protection for telecommunications users.
