Front End Robo Call Filter

" Touch Tone Sequence/ Speed of dialing Monitoring:" Robo call dialing is completed by an automated computer system. So we need to identify these type of calls and block them or hold them for additional authentication. When an automated system dials hundreds or thousands of numbers, each outgoing calls have the exact same length of time pauses (measured in tenths of seconds) between each digit entered/ tone sequence. Human dialing is much more random in terms of pauses between digits. This could be used potentially to identify Robo Calls. Also, another indicator is that computers can dial a number in less than a half second where a human would take 2-3 seconds to dial all 10 digits. The outgoing robo calls are dialed much faster than a human. We need to flag outgoing calls that are dialed in less than 1 second, (or some predetermined other time) because these are robo calls. This speed monitoring could be combined with the touch tone sequence monitoring to identify and flag robo calls, then HOLD or BLOCK them. So, in summary, robo calls would be identified by a. the touch tone time sequencing between digits and the total speed entry of the 10 digit number. The monitoring technology would need to be installed on the front end outgoing call computers/switch boards at all the major phone carriers. Any businesses obtaining phone service would be required to have their outgoing calls filtered for sequencing time and speed of dialing time. These calls would be placed in a hold queue, the business would then be required to contact the phone carrier to provide justification and authentication for the large queue of outgoing calls.
