Abstract:
An electronic device and method for real-time verification of Caller IDs for live-human and robot call filtering is provided. A first electronic device receives an incoming first call from a second electronic device associated with a Caller identification (ID). The first electronic device transmits a verification text message to the second electronic device using the Caller ID, while the first call is still incoming. The first electronic device receives a response to the verification text message and compares the received response with a pre-defined response. If the response is correct and received within a predefined time, the first electronic device allows the call to connect. If a correct response is received beyond the predefined time, the Caller ID is added to a whitelist so that a next call from the same Caller ID is received automatically. In such case, the current first call is redirected to a voicemail system.
