SS8 Networks Granted New Patent for Enhancing Voice Processing

SS8 Networks was granted a U.S. patent for a system designed to locate subscribers using a "best guess" algorithm.



With the best guess location (BGL) technology, the telephony service first attempts to reach the subscriber at the phone number where it last reached the subscriber to connect an incoming call. Otherwise, the telephony service will use an alternative method to poll the remaining numbers associated with the subscriber. Polling alternatives can be driven by the subscriber, who specifies the order of the telephone numbers to be polled, or by a history database, which computes the likelihood that the subscriber is located at a specified telephone number at a particular time.



SS8 Networks said the technology also is applicable to other types of real-time communications, such VoIP, where the subscriber is assigned an IP address instead of a telephone number. http://www.ss8.com/
