Application: Method and system for preventing illicit use of a telephony platform (Patent ID: US20240121256A1)

The patent filed by Twilio Inc. describes a system and method for preventing illicit use of a telephony platform by enrolling multiple accounts and analyzing usage data to calculate fraud scores based on a set of fraud rules. These fraud scores trigger action responses when they exceed a predetermined threshold. The system utilizes machine learning to generate rules based on data patterns, collects usage data from various sources like call logs and billing data, and can perform actions such as suspending or rate-limiting accounts based on the calculated scores.

The system also includes the ability to configure rules through an API, apply machine learning techniques like Bayesian learning and neural networks to generate rules, and perform actions like removing communication privileges or requesting additional verification based on the calculated fraud scores. The method involves obtaining usage data from operational components of the communication platform, analyzing this data using machine learning-based fraud scoring systems, and taking actions on the accounts based on the calculated scores. Additionally, the patent covers a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for executing these operations, including configuring rules, receiving input via an API, and performing actions based on the calculated scores.
