U.S. Patent #12,432,294

    AI-Based Real-Time
    Fraud Detection

    Patented technology powering SipShield's advanced fraud detection system. Our innovative approach uses machine learning and artificial neural networks to protect VoIP infrastructure from fraudulent calls in real-time.

    Patent Protection Notice

    The use of artificial intelligence or machine learning to detect fraud, spam, or malicious activity in live voice calls, text messages, or multimedia communications in real-time is protected under U.S. Patent #12,432,294.

    This includes any system that captures communication data, extracts features, processes them through neural networks or ML models, and generates real-time fraud verdicts or spam classifications. Whether analyzing call metadata, voice patterns, message content, or behavioral signals—if your system uses AI/ML to make real-time determinations about fraudulent or spam communications, it may fall under our patent claims.

    This protection extends to voice calls (VoIP, SIP, PSTN), SMS/MMS messaging, and any communication platform utilizing predictive analytics, feature vector processing, or artificial neural networks for fraud/spam detection during live sessions.

    Patent Overview

    U.S. Patent #12,432,294 B1

    Granted September 30, 2025

    Method and System for AI-Based Real-Time Fraud Detection Based on Call Data

    A system for automated real-time fraud detection based on predictive analytics of call data. The system includes a processor of a call analysis server (CAS) node configured to host a machine learning (ML) module connected to user-entity nodes over a network. The system integrates AI, machine learning, and blockchain technology for secure and transparent fraud detection.

    The processor captures user call data including key elements such as call duration, originating and terminating numbers, call routing data, caller behavior patterns, and geolocation data. It parses this data to extract classifying features, queries local and remote databases for historical calls-related data, and generates feature vectors for ML analysis.

    When fraudulent activity is detected, the system automatically sends alerts to the Network Operations Center (NOC) and can shut down routes carrying fraudulent traffic based on media IPs. All fraud verdicts are recorded on a permissioned blockchain ledger for transparency and audit trails.
