Enhanced user profile information display on terminating handset
10778836 · 2020-09-15 · ·

The disclosed system enables the display of enhanced user profile information on a terminating handset of a call recipient. A caller initially submits enhanced user profile information to a telecommunications service provider, such as the caller's name, company name, physical address, e-mail address, and photograph. When the caller places a phone call, the enhanced user profile information is displayed on a terminating handset of the call recipient. The enhanced user profile information may be transmitted directly to the call recipient or may be retrieved by a network associated with the called party. The disclosed system provides management options for both the caller and the call recipient. For example, the call recipient may specify a preference to automatically save the enhanced user profile information on the terminating handset, or the caller may specify a preference to disable or enable the display of enhanced user profile information on the terminating handset.

Systems and methods for intercepting communications

Tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media include instructions that cause a processor to receive a first indication that a user is attempting to communicate with a provider, and intercept communication between the user and the provider based on the first indication being received. The instructions also cause the processor to send user information to a provider application server based on the first indication being received, and display a visual interface that establishes communication with the relevant provider department or performs a transaction based on the first indication being received. The instructions further cause the processor to receive a second indication associated with performing the action associated with the provider via the visual interface; and performing the action based on the second indication being received.

Methods and systems that include, by a client computing device of a first user of a social-networking system, receiving from the first user an identifier associated with an intended recipient to which outgoing communication is to be initiated, wherein the identifier is received via a user interface of an application, identifying, based on the intended recipient, social information relevant to the first user, and displaying, in the user interface, the social information that is relevant to the first user. The identifier may include a phone number or an email address of the intended recipient. The social information may include a name of the intended recipient, and/or a social-network profile of the intended recipient. The intended recipient may be a second user of the social-networking system, and the social information may be identified based on how many degrees of separation there are between the first user and the second user.

User customizable handling of multiple calls
10757545 · 2020-08-25 · ·

In a multi-call scenario, a UE can receive an incoming call while an active call is already established on the UE. In response to receiving the incoming call, a process for handling the incoming call in a user-customizable manner can include accessing a history of user input received by the UE in context of handling multiple contemporaneous calls on the UE, and handling the incoming call based at least in part on the history of the user input. By the UE considering past user input received by the UE in context of handling multiple contemporaneous calls, the UE is configured to learn from past user behavior during multi-call scenarios, and adjust its call handling approach for the incoming call based on the past user behavior.

System and method for using public registry to enhance caller information and determine call handling for called parties
10757250 · 2020-08-25 · ·

Systems and methods are provided for using a registry to assure parties receiving a communication, such as an incoming phone call, that the party sending the communication, such as the caller is, who it appears to be. In some embodiments the registry is a publicly accessible database which stores communication identifiers such as telephone numbers for parties in association with other data including data provided by the parties or others. The other data may include the name of the party associated with the identifier, a cryptographic public key used by the party as part of a public/private key pair, data representing the intent of the party in sending a communication, and parameters set by parties to be satisfied to receive communications or in determining how such communications should be handled. The system may provide the data representing the party's specific intention in that call or other communication to the party receiving the communication.
