The granted patent (Publication Number: US12015737B2) discloses a method for processing communications involving the generation of communication media fingerprints and corresponding information by network equipment devices. The method includes labeling individual communication media fingerprints as either desired or undesired based on specific characteristics, such as the type of communication and destination. A model is then trained using the labeled data to identify and distinguish between desired and undesired communications effectively.

Furthermore, the patent describes a system for processing communications that includes a communications processing device controlled by a processor to perform operations related to generating communication media fingerprints, labeling them based on type, and comparing them to identify undesired communications. The system aims to automate the process of distinguishing between desired and undesired communications by utilizing labeled training data and classification models. The method also involves deploying the trained model to a communications processing device to identify and take action on undesired communications, such as blocking them from reaching their intended destination. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to efficiently processing and managing communications based on their type and characteristics, enhancing communication network security and efficiency.
