9,300,790 | Multi-Party Conversation Analyzer and Logger | A monitoring system which sets a frequency of periodic voice verification based on either an Incarcerated Individual or a called party using spectral analysis for detecting a voice of an unauthorized person. The system may automatically increase the frequency of the periodic voice verification if an unauthorized voice is detected and simultaneously takes into account the computational load. |
9,300,791 | Controlled-Environment Facility Resident Communication Detection | A system to detect unauthorized calls that inserts signals into calls. The system can detect if multiple signals are present in which case it could notify an authority. This invention is useful to detect calls in which Incarcerated Individuals are attempting to communicate with other Incarcerated Individuals via three way or call forwarding. |
Notice of Allowance Number TBD | Distribution of Satellite-Broadcast Content to Controlled Environment Facilities | A system for providing satellite (news, radio, music etc.) to controlled environment facility residents. The system comprises security measures to ensure users are only able to access approved content. |
