Systems and methods for automatically authenticating an incoming call are disclosed. In one implementation a method for automatically authenticating an incoming call includes receiving a call from a calling device. The call includes an identifier associated with the calling device. The method further includes receiving, separately from the call, authentication data associated with a device or a user, determining, using the identifier and the authentication data, that the authentication data is associated with the same calling device that initiated the call, verifying the authentication data, and based on a result of the verification, determining that the call is initiated by an authenticated device or user.

Systems and methods for automatically authenticating communications with a calling device

Systems and methods for providing called devices with sets of context data associated with communication sessions are disclosed. In one implementation, a method for generating context data associated with a communications session may include receiving, from a calling device at a first subsystem, a request to establish a communications session. The request may include a first identifier associated with the calling device. The method may further include receiving, at a second subsystem, activities data associated with the calling device that transmitted the request to establish the communications session. The activities data may include a second identifier associated with the calling device and may be indicative of device activities of the calling device. In addition, the method includes determining, using the first identifier and the second identifier, that the received activities data is associated with the calling device that transmitted the request to establish the communications session, generating context data associated with the communications session based on the received activities data, generating visual content based on the generated context data, and establishing the communications session in response to receiving, from a user of the called device, an input command to accept the request.

Systems and methods for providing context data associated with a communications session to the called device

A contact information system provides an independent network authority for providing contact information in connection with incoming calls or messages. The contact information system utilizes a database of communication identifiers to provide contact information for end user devices that receive incoming communications which specify communication identifiers that are stored in the database.

Computing device and system for rendering contact information that is retrieved from a network service

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing mobile call authentication. For instance, a token indicative of a call request can be received from a calling party. The token can include a called party number and a time of the request. A subscriber database can be accessed to determine identifying information associated with the calling party based at least in part on the token. The token can be authenticated based at least in part on the identifying information and using one or more predefined authentication protocols. The token can be stored in a call session registry storing data indicative of a plurality of active telephone call events. A verification request for the call request can be received from the called party. The call request can be verified based at least in part on the token. The called party can be notified that the call request has been verified.

End-to-end management of authenticated communications

Computer systems and methods for displaying on a device associated with a calling party visual content customized by a called party are disclosed. In one implementation, a device associated with a calling party includes one or more processors may be configured to obtain a request to establish a communication session with a device associated with a called party. The one or more processors may be further configured to, in response to obtaining the request to establish the communication session, attempt to initiate the communication session and transmit an identifier associated with the called party to a server and obtain display data from the server. The display data may be generated based on configuration data associated with the called party. The one or more processors may be further configured to cause display of visual content generated based on the display data.

Communication systems and methods for causing display of visual content on a screen associated with a calling device

In one implementation, a communications device operable by a calling party may include one or more processors configured to receive an identifier associated with a called device from the calling party, and receive an input command to establish a communications session with the called device from the calling party. After the receiving of the input command, the one or more processors may attempt to establish the communications session with the called device. Further, the one or more processors may transmit the identifier to a called-party analyzer. The called-party analyzer, in response to receiving the identifier, may generate a reputation value based on analysis of data originating from at least one of: (i) a communications service provider, (ii) a caller-name lookup service provider, and (iii) an identity information provider. The reputation value may be indicative of a likelihood that at least one of the called device and a called party associated with the called device is involved in attempting to establish unwanted communications sessions. Further, the called-party analyzer may transmit the reputation value destined for the communications device. The communications device may receive the reputation value originating from the called-party analyzer and cause an output generated based on the reputation value on an output the communications device.
