Abstract:
The wireless device may include logic that enables the wireless device to interface with the external computing device, and rule logic to direct handling by the external computing device of call events of the wireless device.
Integration Of Wireless And External Computing Devices
Information is received from a caller via a wireless device and communicated to an external computing device. Contact information for the caller is located using at least one of a name and phone number of the caller, and when the contact information for the caller is located, it is displayed on a display of the external computing device.

Abstract:
A system and method is provided for detecting fraudulent use of a unique identifier associated with an authorized mobile station in a wireless telecommunications network. A monitoring system passively collects data associated with the registration of one or more mobile stations utilizing the unique identifier. A fraud detection processor analyzes the collected data using a first pattern recognition device. The pattern recognition device determines the periodicity of successive registration messages associated with the unique identifier of the authorized mobile station and a suspected fraudulent event is identified when the time between successive registration messages is non-periodic. A second pattern recognition device may be utilized alone or in combination with the first pattern recognition device to identify suspected fraudulent activity when an apparent velocity of the mobile station utilizing the unique identifier between successive registration messages exceeds a predetermined maximum velocity. The apparent velocity is based upon the approximated geographical distance and time between successive registration messages.
