Abstract

A method and system for adding a caller ( 102 ) in a blocked list is provided. The blocked list is stored at a communication server ( 104 ). The method includes receiving ( 604 ) a call from the caller ( 102 ) at a communication device ( 108 ). Further, the method includes receiving ( 606 ) a set of inputs at the communication device ( 108 ) in response to the call. The set of inputs includes a set of instructions to add the caller ( 102 ) in the blocked list. Furthermore, the method includes transmitting ( 608 ) a call termination request to the communication server ( 104 ). The call termination request includes the set of instructions to add the caller ( 102 ) in the blocked list. Transmission of the call termination request initiates addition of the caller ( 102 ) in the blocked list at the communication server ( 104 ).

Claims (14)

1. A method for adding a caller to a blocked list, the method comprising:

receiving a voice signal from the caller;

comparing, in response to receiving of the voice signal, a voice data associated with the voice signal received from the caller with a predefined data by converting the voice data associated with the voice signal to a particular format and comparing the particular format of the voice data associated with the voice signal with the predefined data, wherein the predefined data is in the particular format; and

based on the comparison, adding the caller to the blocked list when the voice data associated with the voice signal is comparable to the predefined data.

2. A communication network device comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a voice signal from a caller;

a memory that stores predefined data; and

a processor configured to:

compare, in response to receiving of the voice signal, a voice data associated with the voice signal received from the caller with the predefined data;

convert the voice data associated with the voice signal to a particular format;

compare the particular format of the voice data associated with the voice signal with the predefined data, wherein the predefined data is in the particular format; and

based on the comparison, add the caller in a blocked list when the voice data associated with the voice signal is comparable to the predefined data.

3. The communication network device as recited in claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to reject one or more call set-up requests from the caller.

4. The communication network device as recited in claim 2 further comprising a recorder configured to record the predefined data, wherein the predefined data is a voice data.
