Call protect geolocator display for 5g or other next generation network

Abstract

Call spoofing can be mitigated by providing geolocation information to the called device. For example, when a call rings, a geolocator can be invoked and the incoming call display screen can show a carrier logo and/or a geolocator globe illustrating the location of the call originator. The geolocation session initiation protocol data can be confirmed by a network device and compared against carrier specific data of the calling device to authenticate voice calls for called devices. In one embodiment location data of the calling device can purposely be shared in order to facilitate the mitigation of call spoofing.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method, comprising:
 receiving, by a first user equipment comprising a processor, from network equipment, an incoming call originated from a second user equipment;   receiving, by the first user equipment, from the network equipment, information about the second user equipment, wherein the information comprises a verified current location of the second user equipment that has been verified by the network equipment; and   displaying, by the first user equipment, via a display of the first user equipment, an incoming call display associated with the incoming call, wherein the incoming call display comprises a location display element identifying the verified current location of the second user equipment.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the incoming call display further comprises a prompt element comprising a user selectable accept call element to send a first notification to the network equipment to accept the incoming call, and a user selectable reject call element to send a second notification to the network equipment to reject the call. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the prompt element further comprises a user selectable send to voicemail element to send a third notification to the network equipment to send the incoming call to voicemail. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the prompt element further comprises a user selectable mark as spam element to send a third notification to the network equipment to classify the incoming call as spam. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the prompt element further comprises a user selectable block caller element to send a third notification to the network equipment to block the incoming call. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the location display element comprises a world globe, and wherein the verified current location of the second user equipment is marked on the world globe. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising executing, by the first user equipment, an automated call disposition routine that performs an automated action with respect to the incoming call based on the verified current location of the second user equipment, wherein the automated action is selected from a group of actions comprising acceptance of the incoming call, rejection of the incoming call, sending the incoming call to voicemail, classifying the incoming call as spam, and blocking the incoming call. 
     
     
         8 . A first user equipment, comprising:
 a processor; and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising: 
 receiving, from network equipment, an incoming call originated from a second user equipment; 
 receiving, from the network equipment, call data about the second user equipment, wherein the call data comprises an authenticated current location of the second user equipment that has been authenticated by the network equipment; and 
 presenting, via an output device of the first user equipment, an incoming call presentation associated with the incoming call, wherein the incoming call presentation comprises a location element identifying the authenticated current location of the second user equipment. 
   
     
     
         9 . The first user equipment of  claim 8 , wherein the incoming call presentation further comprises a prompt presentation comprising a user selectable accept call element to initiate a first action to inform the network equipment to accept the incoming call, and a user selectable reject call element to initiate a second action to inform the network equipment to reject the call. 
     
     
         10 . The first user equipment of  claim 9 , wherein the prompt presentation further comprises a user selectable send to voicemail element to initiate a third action to inform the network equipment to send the incoming call to voicemail. 
     
     
         11 . The first user equipment of  claim 9 , wherein the prompt presentation further comprises a user selectable mark as fraudulent element to initiate a third action to inform the network equipment to classify the incoming call as fraudulent. 
     
     
         12 . The first user equipment of  claim 9 , wherein the prompt presentation further comprises a user selectable block caller element to initiate a third action to inform the network equipment to block the incoming call. 
     
     
         13 . The first user equipment of  claim 8 , wherein the location element comprises a map of a geographic region, and wherein the authenticated current location of the second user equipment is identified on the map. 
     
     
         14 . The first user equipment of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise performing an automated call disposition action with respect to the incoming call based on the authenticated current location of the second user equipment, and wherein the automated call disposition action is at least one of accept the incoming call, reject the incoming call, send the incoming call to voicemail, classify the incoming call as fraudulent, or block the incoming call. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor a first mobile device, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 receiving, from network equipment, an incoming call originated from a second mobile device;   receiving, from the network equipment, call information about the second mobile device, wherein the call information comprises a confirmed current location of the second mobile device that has been confirmed by the network equipment; and   display, via a screen of the first mobile device, a graphical display associated with the incoming call, wherein the graphical display comprises a location graphical element identifying the confirmed current location of the second mobile device.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the graphical display further comprises a prompt graphical element comprising a user selectable accept call graphical element to accept the incoming call, and a user selectable reject call graphical element to reject the call. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein the prompt graphical element further comprises a user selectable send to voicemail graphical element to send the incoming call to voicemail. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein the prompt graphical element further comprises a user selectable mark as spam graphical element to classify the incoming call as spam. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 16 , wherein the prompt graphical element further comprises a user selectable block caller graphical element to block the incoming call.
