Systems and methods for providing calling party information
System and methods for providing calling party information are disclosed. In one implementation, a server for providing calling party information includes one or more processors configured to receive a query for calling party information from a carrier. The query includes an identifier associated with the calling party. The processors are further configured to determine a score based on one or more previously obtained queries, generate the calling party information based on the score, and transmit the calling party information to the carrier. The carrier transmits the calling party information to a device associated with the called party as a Caller ID Name (CNAM).
1. A server for providing calling party information, comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
receive a query for the calling party information from a carrier, the query including a telephone number associated with a calling party;
determine a score based on one or more previously obtained queries, wherein the score is based on a number of times the telephone number associated with the calling party was ported from one carrier to another over a predetermined period of time;
generate the calling party information based on the score; and
transmit the calling party information to the carrier, wherein the carrier transmits the calling party information to a device associated with a called party as a Caller ID Name (CNAM).
2. The server of claim 1 , wherein the score is indicative of a likelihood that a call from the calling party is a robocall, scam, or otherwise an undesirable call.
3. The server of claim 1 , wherein the calling party information is generated further based on a policy associated with a terminating carrier.
4. The server of claim 1 , wherein the query includes a result of call verification obtained by the carrier, and the calling party information is generated further based on the result of the call verification.
5. The server of claim 4 , wherein the result of the call verification is performed by a call authentication system connected to the carrier.
6. The server of claim 1 , wherein the query includes a result of call verification obtained by the carrier, and the score is determined further based on the result of the call verification.
7. A method for providing calling party information, comprising:
receiving a query for the calling party information from a carrier, the query including a telephone number associated with a calling party;
determining a score based on one or more previously obtained queries, wherein the score is based on a number of times the telephone number associated with the calling party was ported from one carrier to another over a predetermined period of time;
generating the calling party information based on the score; and
transmitting the calling party information to the carrier, wherein the carrier transmits the calling party information to a device associated with a called party as a CNAM.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the score is indicative of a likelihood that a call from the calling party is a robocall, scam, or otherwise an undesirable call.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the calling party information is generated further based on a policy associated with a terminating carrier.
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the query includes a result of call verification obtained by the carrier, and the calling party information is generated further based on the result of the call verification.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the result of the call verification is performed by a call authentication system connected to the carrier.
12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the query includes a result of call verification obtained by the carrier, and the score is determined further based on the result of the call verification.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method for providing calling party information, the method comprising:
receiving a query for the calling party information from a carrier, the query including a telephone number associated with the calling party;
determining a score based on one or more previously obtained queries, wherein the score is based on a number of times the telephone number associated with the calling party was ported from one carrier to another over a predetermined period of time;
generating the calling party information based on the score; and
transmitting the calling party information to the carrier, wherein the carrier transmits the calling party information to a device associated with a called party as a Caller ID Name (CNAM).
14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the score is indicative of a likelihood that a call from the calling party is a robocall, scam, or otherwise an undesirable call.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the calling party information is generated further based on a policy associated with a terminating carrier.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the query includes a result of call verification obtained by the carrier, and the calling party information is generated further based on the result of the call verification.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the result of the call verification is performed by a call authentication system connected to the carrier.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the query includes a result of call verification obtained by the carrier, and the score is determined further based on the result of the call verification.
