User-customized call filtering system and method

A user-customized call filter system for filtering unwanted calls, said system comprising:

• a cloud system hosting a user-customized call filter application platform stored in a computer-readable memory and executed by one or more processors on one or more servers and including databases and a dynamic query engine;
• wherein the cloud system receives requests, generated by calling devices over a communication network, to communicate with end-user devices;
• wherein the requests comprise signals representing telephone numbers associated with the calling devices;
• wherein the user-customized call filter application communicates with a native call filter app provided on the end-user devices for comparing telephone numbers of incoming calls to telephone numbers prestored in call lists to selectively allow the calling devices to communicate with the end-user devices;
• wherein the dynamic query engine generates at least one verification filter that is presented to callers associated with the calling devices to solicit a verified human response from the callers to selectively allow communication access of the calling devices to the called devices upon receiving a correct response to the verification filter, and immediately terminating incoming calls upon receiving an incorrect response to the verification filter.

• wherein the system is assembled to be capable of executing a method of:
• hosting a user-customized call filter application platform on a cloud-based system;
• wherein the call filter application software is stored in a computer-readable memory and executed by one or more processors on one or more servers communicating with databases;
• wherein the cloud system receives incoming call requests, generated by calling devices over a communication network, to communicate with end-user devices including a call filter native application;
• wherein the incoming call requests are associated with telephone numbers generated by the calling devices;
• wherein end-users customize the call filter native application to create call lists including prestored telephone numbers that are compared to incoming call requests to filter the incoming call requests;
• wherein the method includes a schedule filter associated with one of the call lists for selectively receiving incoming calls based on a geographic location of the calling devices, based on end-users, or based on a date and time, and a dynamic query engine that generates a verification filter presented to callers associated with the incoming call requests that do not correspond to telephone numbers on the call list to solicit verified human responses from callers to selectively allow communication access of one or more incoming call requests to end-user devices;
• and wherein incoming call requests corresponding to telephone numbers provided in one of the call lists are immediately terminated and logged in a call log.
