Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for a called party to report unwanted telephone calls to jurisdictional authorities. These calls may be unwanted, unlawful, or other calls. In the methods of the present invention, the called party dials a code comprised of a series of digits, which triggers the switching node associated with the called party to generate a series of messages, at least one of which encompasses the originating telephone number of the unwanted call. At least one of the messages is directed to the proper reporting authority such that the called party reports the unwanted event. Called parties can take further actions, such as including additional messaging or blocking subsequent calls from the calling party number. The reporting authority can take further action as well, such as matching the called party number with subscriber or geographic information.

Abstract: A method of implementing call compliance at a central facility, the method involving: receiving a call from a caller on an incoming connection; enabling the caller on the incoming connection to initiate an outgoing call on an outgoing connection; receiving over the incoming connection an identifier of a destination to which a call is to be initiated over the outgoing connection; checking a do-not-call database for an indication of whether the destination is a do-not-call destination; if it is determined that the destination is a do-not-call destination, blocking the outgoing call from taking place over the outgoing connection; and if it is determined that the destination is not a do-not-call destination, allowing the outgoing call to take place over the outgoing connection.

Abstract translation: 一种在中央设施实现呼叫合规性的方法，所述方法包括：在呼入连接上从呼叫者接收呼叫; 使来电连接上的呼叫者能够在外发连接上发起呼出呼叫; 通过传入连接接收通过传出连接发起呼叫的目的地的标识符; 检查不呼叫数据库以指示目的地是否是不呼叫目的地; 如果确定目的地是不呼叫目的地，则阻止去话呼叫在出局连接上发生; 并且如果确定目的地不是不呼叫目的地，则允许呼出呼叫通过呼出连接发生。

Abstract: A system and process for automatic storage, enforcement and override of consumer do-not-call (DNC) requests includes a control device for selectively blocking communication between a communication device and a destination over a communication medium. The control device is connected to the communication medium and to a database for storing identifiers of destinations for which communication is to be blocked. The communication device has an input mechanism responsive to a user to generate an identifier of the destination. The input mechanism is also responsive to an update signal indicating that the identifier should be added to the database or an override signal indicating that the blocked call should in fact, be permitted, thereby overriding the blocking mechanism. The communication device is automatically updated with information stored in the database which may be used by the communication device to process further communication.
