Abstract
A telephone communication network analyzes network usage data to find patterns in communications by user of a device in the network. The patterns are analyzed and associated with signals, for example, location, time of day and day of week which are then used to suggest recommended actions to the user. The network usage data may include call data records (CDRs) and Per Call Measurement Data (PCMD), for example. Network elements may send notifications to a client application on the user device. Network elements may also send communication patterns to the client application. Communications analyzed by the network may include voice calls, text messages and IP sessions.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method in a telephony communications network comprising a plurality of network elements, the method comprising:
- receiving call or session specific data associated with at least one user device from one or more network elements, said call or session specific data comprising information about communications in the telephony communications network associated with at least one user device;
- analyzing the call or session specific data to determine one or more communication patterns, wherein the one or more communication patterns are derived from one or more communications, and such one or more communication patterns are associated with a real-time signal;
- and
- provisioning the one or more communication patterns in a recommendation network element, said recommendation network element using said one or more communication patterns to implement a communication notification to the at least one user device upon an occurrence of the associated real-time signal.
An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of telephony communication network elements, said network elements further comprising a non-transitory storage and a processor, said network elements being configured to:
- receive call or session specific data associated with at least one user device, said call or session specific data comprising information about communications in the telephony communications network associated with at least one user device;
- analyze the call or session specific data to determine one or more communication patterns, wherein the one or more communication patterns are derived from one or more communications, and such one or more communication patterns are associated with a real-time signal;
- and
- provision the one or more communication patterns in a recommendation network element, said recommendation network element using said one or more communication patterns to implement a communication notification to at least one user device upon the occurrence of an associated real-time signal.
