Abstract

An approach for handling undesired communication at a mobile device is disclosed. A call scoring platform detects a request for delivery of a communication from an originator to a recipient. The call scoring platform then collects data feeds from data sources associated with the communication, the originator, the recipient, or a combination thereof and based on the data feeds, a score is computed for the communication, the originator, or a combination thereof. Further, based on the computed score filtering and/or blocking of delivery of the communication to the recipient is initiated. In addition, the call scoring platform creates a personal scoring system for one or more users wherein the users may assign scores for an incoming communication.
