Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing a telephone call screener are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving a telephone call. The actions further include determining characteristics of the telephone call. The actions further include, based on the characteristics of the telephone call, determining a level of screening to apply to the telephone call. The actions further include determining screening data based on screening the telephone call according to the level of screening. The actions further include providing, for output, the screening data.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for implementing menu-based communication are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes the actions of receiving, from a first computing device, a communication and data identifying a second computing device as a recipient of the communication. The actions may further include determining a first and second candidate response to the communication. The actions may further include providing, to the second computing device, the communication, the first and second candidate responses, and instructions to provide, for output by the second computing device, the first and second candidate responses as selectable responses to the communication. The actions may further include receiving, from the second computing device, the selection of the first or second candidate response. The actions may further include providing, for output to the first computing device, data indicating the selection of the first or second candidate response.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for determining whether a communication request is associated with a legitimate communication or spoof communication, prior to establishing the connection. A Parallel Path Caller Verification (PPCV) controller is described that is configured to intercept a communication request from an originating device and generate a proof-of-identity (PoI) message for delivery to the originating device. Upon receipt of a reply message that is responsive to the PoI message, the PPCV controller may determine whether the communication is a legitimate communication. If the communication is determined as legitimate, the PPCV controller may establish a communication based on the communication request.
