Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer programs for constructing a billing statement from detailed usage file (DUF) records received from an Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC). A master file contains routing information associating each of a plurality of telephone numbering plan addresses plus additional telephone number digits (NPA-NXX) with a corresponding local access transport area (LATA). Telephone operator services (TOPS) assignment files are downloaded and used to edit the master file, thereby generating an enhanced master file. DUF records are downloaded. A set of enhanced DUF records is generated by filtering the downloaded DUF records. A rate table of customer price plans is applied to the set of enhanced DUF records and the enhanced master file to construct a billing statement.

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer program products collect and deliver call data associated with court ordered trap and/or traces. A method involves receiving a request to monitor calls to and/or from a target telephone number where the request includes request parameters such as the target telephone number. The method further involves storing the request where the target telephone number is stored in association with a court order and utilizing the request to identify and retrieve call records matching the request parameters. Utilizing the request to identify and retrieve call records matching the request parameters may involve creating a text file including the request parameters, reading the request parameters from the text file, monitoring call records for call records matching the request parameters, and storing call records that match the request parameters. The call records that match are stored in association with the court order and the target telephone number.
