Abstract

Described herein are methods and systems for admission control of a communication session over a communication network. The methods and systems of the present disclosure may comprise determining whether a communication session originates from an originating device that is part of an autodialing system. If the communication session does originate from an autodialing system, the methods and systems can determine whether the autodialing system is a valid autodialing system or an invalid autodialing system. The methods and systems can process or block future communications sessions from the originating device depending on whether the autodialing system is a valid autodialing system or invalid autodialing system, respectively.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method comprising:
 determining, based on a correspondence between a plurality of communication sessions associated with an originating device identifier associated with an originating device, that the originating device identifier is associated with an autodialing system;   determining, based on one or more of the plurality of communication sessions, the autodialing system is invalid; and   blocking, based on determining that the autodialing system is invalid, one or more future communication sessions associated with the originating device identifier.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining the autodialing system is invalid comprises:
 determining, based on the one or more of the plurality of communication sessions, text data of at least one of the one or more of the plurality of communication sessions; and   determining, based on comparing the text data to keywords associated with an invalid autodialing system, the autodialing system is invalid.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the correspondence between the plurality of communication sessions comprises determining a correspondence between a portion of audio data associated with a first communication session of the plurality of communication sessions and a second portion of audio data associated with a second communication session of the plurality of communication sessions. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising storing the originating device identifier in a database of invalid autodialing systems. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 determining that the originating device identifier is on an exceptions list; and   processing, based on determining that the originating device identifier is on the exceptions list, the one or more future communication sessions.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving the one or more future communication sessions; and   determining, based on the originating device identifier for the one or more future communication sessions, the one or more future communication sessions are associated with an invalid autodialing system.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein determining the autodialing system is invalid comprises:
 determining, based on the one or more of the plurality of communication sessions, text data of at least one of the one or more of the plurality of communication sessions; and   determining, based on comparing the text data to keywords associated with a valid autodialing system, the autodialing system is invalid.   
     
     
         8 . A method comprising:
 determining, based on a correspondence between a plurality of communication sessions associated with an originating device identifier associated with an originating device, that the originating device identifier is associated with an autodialing system;   determining, based on one or more communication sessions of the plurality of communication sessions, the autodialing system is valid; and   establishing, based on determining the autodialing system is valid, one or more future communication sessions associated with the originating device identifier.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising receiving the plurality of communication sessions. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein determining the autodialing system is valid comprises:
 determining, based on the one or more of the plurality of communication sessions, text data of at least one of the one or more of the plurality of communication sessions; and   determining, based on comparing the text data to keywords associated with a valid autodialing system, the autodialing system is valid.   
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein determining the autodialing system is valid comprises:
 determining, based on the one or more of the plurality of communication sessions, text data of at least one of the one or more of the plurality of communication sessions; and   determining, based on comparing the text data to keywords associated with an invalid autodialing system, the autodialing system is valid.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the correspondence between the plurality of communication sessions comprises determining a correspondence between a portion of audio data associated with a first communication session of the plurality of communication sessions and a second portion of audio data associated with a second communication session of the plurality of communication sessions. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising determining, based on one or more attributes of the one or more communication sessions of the plurality of communication sessions, that a communication threshold for the originating device identifier is satisfied, wherein the communication threshold comprises one or more of an answer seizure rate threshold, a call rate threshold, or a call hold time threshold. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 determining that an additional communication session initiated by the originating device is invalid; and   blocking, based on determining that the additional communication session is invalid, another one or more future communication sessions associated with the originating device identifier.   
     
     
         15 . A method comprising:
 establishing a first communication session between an originating device and a first target device;   determining, based on a correspondence between a portion of the first communication session and a second communication session, that the originating device is associated with an autodialing system;   determining, based on the first communication session, that the autodialing system is invalid;   receiving a request to establish a third communication session between the originating device and a second target device; and   blocking, based on determining that the autodialing system is invalid, the request to establish the third communication session.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein determining the autodialing system is invalid comprises:
 determining, based on the first communication session, text data of the first communication session; and   determining, based on comparing the text data to keywords associated with an invalid autodialing system, the autodialing system is the invalid.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein determining the autodialing system is invalid comprises:
 determining, based on the first communication session, text data of the first communication session; and   determining, based on comparing the text data to keywords associated with a valid autodialing system, the autodialing system is the invalid.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 receiving another request to establish a fourth communication session, the another request comprising a device identifier of a second originating device; and   determining, based on information associated with the device identifier, that the second originating device is associated with a second autodialing system, wherein the information associated with the device identifier of the second originating device comprises one or more of an answer seizure rate, a call rate, or a call hold time.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising blocking, based on determining that the autodialing system is invalid, one or more future communication sessions comprising the originating device. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising:
 receiving another request to establish a fourth communication session between the originating device and a third target device, wherein the another request comprises a device identifier of the originating device; and   establishing, based on determining that the originating device is on an exceptions list, the fourth communication session between the originating device and the third target device.
