Patent
This patent addresses a growing problem of spam, robocalls, and unwanted telephone solicitations. It proposes an innovative method for screening unfamiliar calls using a simple yet powerful “trivial question and password” approach. By verifying a caller’s response before allowing them through, users can effectively block nuisance callers while still welcoming legitimate new contacts.
Key Components
Call-Blocking App or Service
GeeseCall offers a dynamic method for filtering incoming calls, leveraging advanced algorithms to detect and block unwanted or unfamiliar callers.
Trivial Question & Password
Each unfamiliar caller is prompted with a simple, customizable question, and the user defines one or more passwords (correct answers) to ensure only trusted individuals can connect.
Storage & Verification
A secure storage table holds valid passwords, verifying the caller’s response. If the caller answers correctly, the connection is made; otherwise, the call is automatically blocked.
How Our Patent Works
GeeseCall’s patented call-blocking method provides a seamless and secure way to manage incoming communications. Here’s how our innovative technology ensures only trusted callers can reach you:
1. Identify Incoming Call
The system automatically determines whether an incoming call is from a known contact, such as someone in your address book, or an unknown caller who may be unwanted. Calls from familiar contacts are seamlessly connected as usual.
2. Trivial Question Prompt
When an unfamiliar caller is detected, the app automatically plays a short, pre-recorded question such as, "Please enter the answer to continue." This trivial question serves as an additional layer of security.
3. Caller Response
The caller responds by either entering a specific keypad code (dial tones) or speaking a pre-set password. If the response matches one of the user-defined passwords, the system proceeds to connect the call.
4. Call Connection or Rejection
The caller responds by either entering a specific keypad code (dial tones) or speaking a pre-set password. If the response matches one of the user-defined passwords, the system proceeds to connect the call.
Match Found
If the caller’s response is correct, the call is successfully connected, and the phone rings normally.
No Match
If the response is incorrect or no password is provided, the call is automatically blocked, with an optional notification sent to the user to inform them about the blocked call.
