Methods and Systems for Controlling the Blocking of Telephone Calls

Номер: US20120014517A1
Автор: Charles David Orr, Timothy Edwin Pabon
Принадлежит: Individual

Computer-implemented systems and methods for controlling the blocking of telephone calls are disclosed. A person, for example, bothered by calls from a prison inmate may desire to block future call attempts from that inmate or even desire to block all calls from the confinement/correctional institution at which the inmate is housed. To reduce accidental and fraudulent call blocking, various techniques are used to verify that the party requesting the block is, in fact, the party in control of the telephone number requested to be blocked. Embodiments herein enable call blocking using systems that require little or no human interaction to process a block request, reduce or eliminate accidental blocks via a callback confirmation process, create a documentation trail via the use of a profile and PIN system used for the processing of a block, and/or reduce fraudulent blocks by parties other than those authorized to do so via CNAM (Caller ID) verification.

Принадлежит: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I LP

A method of diagnosing a transmission loop in an Internet protocol television (IPTV) network includes configuring the loop as an open loop and performing a single-ended loop test (SELT), configuring the loop as a terminated-loop and performing another SELT, subtracting a trace of the first SELT from a trace of the second SELT, and determining the length of the loop from the result. A service assurance system in an IPTV network includes a test module and a DSLAM coupled to a residential gateway by a transmission loop. The test module operates to determine that a fault condition on the IPTV network is caused by a fault in the loop, direct the DSLAM to perform an open loop SELT and a terminated-loop SELT on the loop, receive the results of the SELTs, and determine a location of a tap on the loop based upon the results.

Systems and methods for handling crosstalk vectoring failures in multi-card vectoring groups

Номер: US20120224674A1
Автор: Arlynn Wayne Wilson, Fred Chu, Richard Goodson
Принадлежит: Individual

A communication system comprises a plurality of line cards having transceivers coupled to a plurality of subscriber lines. Each line card has at least one active transceiver within the same vectoring group, and each line card also has vector logic capable of cancelling crosstalk induced by an active transceiver that is a member of the vectoring group. In the event of a vectoring fault that prevents a line card from receiving vectoring information from at least on other line card, the vector logic is configured to disable vectoring for the interferers affected by the error in order to prevent vectoring operations based on obsolete vectoring coefficients from adversely affecting the quality of the communicated signals. The transceivers communicating signals affected by the suspended vectoring operations are also configured to adjust their constellation density profiles, thereby reducing their data rates, to accommodate the increased noise level resulting from the loss of vectoring. By handling the vectoring fault in such manner, communication can continue without requiring a retrain.

Systems and methods selectively excluding tones from vectoring

Номер: US20120224683A1
Автор: Arlynn Wayne Wilson, Fred Chu, Richard Goodson
Принадлежит: Individual

A discrete multi-tone (DMT) transceiver communicates tones across a subscriber line. Vectoring is employed in an effort to reduce the effects of crosstalk. However, for some tones, such as tones significantly affected by radio frequency interference (RFI) or other forms of alien noise, vectoring may actually introduce distortions such that the vectoring degrades rather than improves overall signal quality. Control logic of the DMT transceiver is configured to sense when tones are affected by significant levels of alien noise and to exclude such tones from vectoring, thereby improving signal quality for such tones. The control logic also may lower the constellation densities of such tones in order to accommodate the vectoring exclusions applied to such tones.

An anonymous communication establishing device establishes a communication session between a first communication terminal and a second communication terminal if the anonymity level of a calling party terminal, designated in a communication connection request received from the first communication terminal, is allowable for a communication from the first communication terminal to the second communication terminal. Then, when the anonymous communication establishing device receives, from the second communication terminal, a communication transfer request designating the first communication terminal as the calling party terminal and designating a third communication terminal as a transfer destination communication terminal, the anonymous communication establishing device determines whether or not the anonymity level of the first communication terminal as the calling party terminal, designated in the communication transfer request, is allowable for a communication from the first communication terminal to the third communication terminal. If the anonymity level is not allowable, the anonymous communication establishing device determines an anonymity level of the first communication terminal allowable for the communication from the first communication terminal to the third communication terminal, and performs transfer control of the communication session with use of the determined anonymity level.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING A DIAGNOSTIC TRANSMISSION MODE AND COMMUNICATING OVER THE SAME

Номер: US20170034343A1
Автор: JR. Robert Edmund, Krinsky David M., Pizzano
Принадлежит:

Upon detection of a trigger, such as the exceeding of an error threshold or the direction of a user, a diagnostic link system enters a diagnostic information transmission mode. This diagnostic information transmission mode allows for two modems to exchange diagnostic and/or test information that may not otherwise be exchangeable during normal communication. The diagnostic information transmission mode is initiated by transmitting an initiate diagnostic link mode message to a receiving modem accompanied by a cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The receiving modem determines, based on the CRC, if a robust communications channel is present. If a robust communications channel is present, the two modems can initiate exchange of the diagnostic and/or test information. Otherwise, the transmission power of the transmitting modem is increased and the initiate diagnostic link mode message re-transmitted to the receiving modem until the CRC is determined to be correct. 1. A diagnostic link system for communicating data between modems using multicarrier modulation comprising:an initiate diagnostic mode trigger that instructs a transmitting modem to forward an initiate diagnostic mode message to a receiving modem;a message determination device that determines a diagnostic link message; anda receiving modem diagnostic device that receives the diagnostic link message and determines the accuracy of the diagnostic link message.243-.

To maximize efficiencies and to reduce termination costs of inter-carrier exchanges, an auto-dialer detection system enables an inter-carrier network switch to detect, in real-time or in near real-time, calls that are originated by auto-dialers. A call router of the switch may receive an incoming call attempt that includes a particular Automatic Number Identification (ANI). The auto-dialer detection system allows for a real-time or near-real time determination, based on the ANI and contents of a cache during a sliding window of time coincident with the reception of the origination, whether or not the call should be routed through the switch. Further, the auto-dialer detection system provides a real-time or a near real-time update to the cache contents to enable further real-time or near-real time detection and blocking of auto-dialed calls. Overrides to the cache (e.g., to always allow and/or to always block calls that include certain ANIs) may be provided. 1.
