An example method of operation may include one or more of identifying an outbound call placed by a mobile device subscribed to a protected carrier network, determining the outbound call is destined for a destination telephone number that was stored in a call history of the mobile device, determining the destination telephone number is a scam call suspect telephone number based on one or more identified call filter parameters associated with the destination telephone number, and forwarding a scam call notification to the mobile device while the outbound call is dialing the destination telephone number.

An in-vehicle navigation apparatus with a handsfree function establishes a Bluetooth communication link with a cellular phone. When receiving from the cellular phone outgoing call history data and incoming call history data, which were stored in the cellular phone before establishing the Bluetooth communication link, the in-vehicle navigation apparatus stores, in a work memory, the received outgoing call history data and the received incoming call history data, equally to, of the navigation apparatus itself, outgoing call history data and incoming call history data. An outgoing call operation then becomes possible using outgoing call history data and incoming call history data, which are stored in the work memory.

A device includes a communication unit configured to receive a call request from a calling user; and a control unit configured to control the communication unit to provide a response message including information about a current situation based on information about an application currently being executed to the calling user in response to a rejection regarding the call request.

Various systems and methods for a collaborative phone reputation system are described herein. A system for implementing a collaborative phone reputation system includes a compute device comprising: a call handling module to detect, at the compute device, an incoming call for a user of the compute device; a scoring module to determine a local probabilistic score that the incoming call is desirable for the user; and an execution module to perform an action at the compute device based on the local probabilistic score.

An example method of suggesting contacts in a communications routing system includes: routing, via a routing engine, communications events between a communications device and a plurality of further communications devices coupled to the communications routing system as VoIP calls using respective VoIP telephone numbers; storing, for a user account associated with the communications device, a contact database representing VoIP telephone numbers stored in a contact tracking application of the communications device; storing, in the contact database for the user account, a log of communications events including a record for each new telephone number; and when the record for a new telephone number satisfies a threshold condition, providing a prompt, at the communications device, to add the new telephone number to the contact tracking application.

The invention generally relates to systems and methods that enable processor readable instruction(s) (e.g., an un-wired algorithm, an un-wired application, an un-wired services, etc.), stored in processor readable media(s), to be accessed and/or processed on mobile electronic devices (e.g., “mobile phones”) and/or networks such that, for example, when activated by user(s) and/or authorized parties, the mobile electronic device's alert (e.g., audiovisual alert, vibrator, etc.) can be deactivated. Further, when the un-wired application is activated customizable replies can automatically and/or substantially automatically be communicated in response to missed communication attempts (e.g., voice calls, video calls, texts, e-mail, etc.).

A method and system for identifying an unwanted caller using a call answering system. The method comprises receiving, by a call records server, information about callers from a plurality of telephony devices and one or more phone number data sources, classifying, by the call records server, one or more of the callers as either wanted or unwanted callers based on the received information, and storing, by the call records server, the received information and the classification of the one or more of the callers into a directory. The method further comprises identifying, by a call answering server, that a call from a given caller from a phone number to a receiving telephony device is from an unwanted caller by searching the directory, and handling, by the call answering server, the call from the given caller according to one or more preferences of the user, the one or more preferences including rejecting the call from the receiving telephony device, playing a recorded message, and disposing of the call.

Systems and methods for providing conversation assistance include receiving from at least one user device of a user, conversation information and determining that the conversation information is associated with a conversation involving the user and a first person that is associated with first conversation assistance information in a non-transitory memory. Body measurement data of the user is retrieved from the at least first user device. A need for conversation assistance in the conversation involving the user and the first person is detected using the body measurement data. First conversation assistance information associated with the first person is retrieved from the non-transitory memory. The first conversation assistance information associated with the first person is provided through the at least one user device.

A method of providing a user interface for managing voice call information and text message information in a mobile terminal including a voice call management part to process manage a voice call, and a text message management part to process and manage a text message, the method including the steps of accessing the voice call management part and the text message management part to retrieve the voice call information and the text message information, editing the voice call information and the text message information according to a predetermined message block format to generate integrated message information, generating message blocks including the integrated message information, and arranging the message blocks according to a receiving time and a transmitting time of the voice call information and the text message information to display the message blocks on a message management user interface of the mobile terminal.

In an embodiment, a computer-implemented process is programmed or configured to allow a first computing device to generate and send enriched pin data to a geographical messaging system. The geographical messaging system may then broadcast the enriched pin data to a second computing device belonging, for instance, to a team member in the same geographical region as the first computing device. The second computing device may then use the enriched pin data to display, on a geographical map, a map pin that corresponds to the enriched pin data for a selected map pin type.
