Abstract

A dynamic communication management system manages the exchange of phone-based communications between devices using dynamically determined routing data. The routing for the phone-based communications can be dynamically determined such that certain identifying information is provided to destination devices instead of the identifying information that would be provided without the services of the dynamic communication management system.

Abstract

A denial of service (DoS) detection and circumvention system is described herein. The DoS detection and circumvention system can track phone calls that are initiated and store a list of phone numbers that are called. The DoS detection and circumvention system can also track the number of carrier congestion messages over a certain time window. Using the list of called phone numbers and the tracked number of carrier congestion messages, the DoS detection and circumvention system can identify excessive congestion. If the DoS detection and circumvention system identifies excessive congestion, the DoS detection and circumvention system can delay calls so as to prevent a possible DoS condition.

Abstract

A text communication management system is provided that receives, analyzes, and enforces recipient actions regarding phone-based text communications. The text communication management system can obtain recipient action data regarding a recipient's action with respect to a particular text communication, and enforce the recipient action with respect to future text communications. The management system can also or alternatively analyze the recipient action data in connection with recipient action data from multiple other recipients to generate a model for use in determining whether future phone-based text communications should be permitted, determining the likelihood that such communications will cause recipients to opt-out, and the like. Third parties, such as phone service carriers and text communication originating entities, may access the management system via an application programming interface (“API”) to submit data regarding recipient actions, initiate analysis of a potential text communication using the model, and the like.

Abstract

Systems and methods for protected verification of user information are provided. Multiple computing systems may transmit or receive communications from one or more other computing systems as part of the protected user information verification. For example, a user may utilize a verification service to independently verify the user's information to third-party systems without the verification service actually storing, receiving, accessing, or otherwise coming into contact with the user-specific information that it is verifying. In this way, the system can protect a user's personal information while streamlining the user's verification with one or more third parties.

Abstract

A communication management system manages the exchange of messages between devices using different communication networks and/or protocols. A sender device may transmit a message (e.g., a short message service “SMS” message) to a destination associated with a traditional “landline” phone number. The message may be delivered over a traditional landline phone network. The communication management system can receive the message via the phone network, process the message, and provide the message to one or more electronic devices over a packet switched network, such as a local area network or the Internet. The electronic devices may use chat-based application software to process and display the message, provide robust message handline functionality, and facilitate responses to the message.

Abstract

A device that is capable of sending/receiving telephony-based messages may communicate with a blockchain network without having a direct connection (e.g., internet connection) to the blockchain network. A message may be communicated via a telephony network to a telephony carrier system. The telephony carrier system may translate the telephony-based message into a blockchain-based communication and provide the blockchain-based communication to the blockchain network. In addition, an entity on the blockchain network may communicate with a device that does not have an internet connection to the blockchain network. The entity may initiate a blockchain-based communication that is received by an on-chain interface of a telephony network carrier. In response, the telephony network carrier may generate a telephony-based message and communicate the telephony-based message to the user device.

Abstract

A denial of service (DoS) detection and circumvention system is described herein. The DoS detection and circumvention system can track phone calls that are initiated and store a list of phone numbers that are called. The DoS detection and circumvention system can also track the number of carrier congestion messages over a certain time window. Using the list of called phone numbers and the tracked number of carrier congestion messages, the DoS detection and circumvention system can identify excessive congestion. If the DoS detection and circumvention system identifies excessive congestion, the DoS detection and circumvention system can delay calls so as to prevent a possible DoS condition.

Abstract

A device that is capable of sending/receiving telephony-based messages may communicate with a blockchain network without having a direct connection (e.g., internet connection) to the blockchain network. A message may be communicated via a telephony network to a telephony carrier system. The telephony carrier system may translate the telephony-based message into a blockchain-based communication and provide the blockchain-based communication to the blockchain network. In addition, an entity on the blockchain network may communicate with a device that does not have an internet connection to the blockchain network. The entity may initiate a blockchain-based communication that is received by an on-chain interface of a telephony network carrier. In response, the telephony network carrier may generate a telephony-based message and communicate the telephony-based message to the user device.

Abstract

Systems and methods for protected verification of user information are provided. Multiple computing systems may transmit or receive communications from one or more other computing systems as part of the protected user information verification. For example, a user may utilize a verification service to independently verify the user's information to third-party systems without the verification service actually storing, receiving, accessing, or otherwise coming into contact with the user-specific information that it is verifying. In this way, the system can protect a user's personal information while streamlining the user's verification with one or more third parties.

Abstract

A communication management system manages the exchange of messages between devices using different communication networks and/or protocols. A sender device may transmit a message (e.g., a short message service “SMS” message) to a destination associated with a traditional “landline” phone number. The message may be delivered over a traditional landline phone network. The communication management system can receive the message via the phone network, process the message, and provide the message to one or more electronic devices over a packet switched network, such as a local area network or the Internet. The electronic devices may use chat-based application software to process and display the message, provide robust message handline functionality, and facilitate responses to the message.

Abstract

A centralized system manages application configuration parameters in a network computing environment. The system centralizes the storage and management of application configuration parameters, and dynamically updates the networked application servers when parameter values are changed at the centralized system. The application servers can subscribe to and receive parameter updates from the centralized system, determine whether the updates are applicable to configuration parameters being used by the application, and implement any such updates. In some embodiments, the centralized system determines which application servers are affected by a particular parameter update, and only transmits data regarding the parameter update to the affected application servers.

Abstract

A method for generating digital events in response to inbound or outbound phone calls on analog phone systems is described. The method monitors a public switched telephone network (PSTN) phone line to detect a call. The analog audio signal of the detected call is amplified. The method acquires call information regarding the detected call from the phone line. The call information is sent to a server as a digital event over a network interface. Voice call recording for the call is initiated. The method uploads a data record that contains the voice call recording to the server over the network interface after the completion of the call. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
