Dynamic Error Mapping for Auto-Initiated Communication Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Malicious users generate auto-initiated communication requests, such as robocalls and spam calls, that increase network traffic and attempt to steal information/resources, with existing systems struggling to efficiently detect and mitigate these threats.
Innovation Solution
Systems and methods dynamically modify communication operations by spoofing information, decoding and rearranging header data, and encoding it to simulate spoofed communications for testing, while identifying and denying auto-initiated requests, thereby reducing network traffic and processing delays.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional error mapping operations are used during communication operations, then error handling is straightforward, but malicious auto-initiated communication requests cannot be effectively detected or mitigated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the error mapping operation configurable and modifiable during runtime. The system dynamically adjusts error mapping based on communication operation characteristics, allowing adaptive detection of malicious requests without requiring a completely complex new system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes error mapping parameters dynamically based on the type of communication operation detected. By modifying error codes and mapping behavior in response to detected patterns, the system enhances detection capability while maintaining manageable complexity through parameter adjustment rather than structural overhaul.
2Productivity
If auto-initiated communication requests are allowed to proceed, then network traffic flow is maintained, but network traffic increases and resources are stolen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent converts potentially harmful auto-initiated communication requests into beneficial detection opportunities. By mapping specific error codes to identify patterns characteristic of malicious requests, the system filters harmful traffic while allowing legitimate traffic to proceed, thus protecting network resources without significantly impacting overall throughput.
3Measurement precision
If error mapping operations are modified to detect malicious requests, then detection accuracy improves, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by selectively applying enhanced error mapping operations only to suspicious communication patterns rather than all traffic. This approach maintains high detection accuracy for malicious requests while minimizing processing delays for legitimate traffic that follows normal patterns.
4Reliability
If dynamic error mapping is implemented, then auto-initiated requests are detected and prevented, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the error mapping function into distinct, manageable components that can be independently configured and modified. This segmentation allows the system to implement dynamic error mapping for enhanced security while maintaining lower overall complexity by organizing the functionality into modular, manageable segments.

AI summary
An apparatus comprises a memory and a processor communicatively coupled to one another. The memory may be configured to store one or more configuration commands configured to trigger one or more error mapping operations and a service directory comprising one or more recipients configured to access one or more entitlements in multiple services. The processor may be configured to receive a communication request from a sender comprising sender information and receiver information, obtain multiple recipients from the service directory, determine whether any recipient from the recipients matches the receiver information, and generate an error log indicating that the communication request is directed towards a recipient engaged on an ongoing communication in response to determining that none of the of recipients match the receiver information. Further, the processor is configured to transmit a report comprising the error log to the sender.
