Controlled recorded 3-way calling
First Claim
1. A computer based method comprising:
- receiving, from an operator device, a controlled call request comprising a first address corresponding to a first contact device and a second address corresponding to a second contact device;
in response to receiving the controlled call request;
transmitting a first connection request to the first contact device based on the first address; and
transmitting a second connection request to the second contact device based on the second address, the second connection request having a spoofed source address that indicates the first address as a source of the second connection request;
wherein establishment of connections based on the first connection request and the second connection request enables controlled audio communications between the first contact device and the second contact device and disables audio communications from the operator device to the first contact device and the second contact device, the operator device receiving audio communications between the first contact device and the second contact device and controlling the audio communications.

Abstract
Agencies issue recording devices to personnel for administrating and monitoring controlled calls during the course of their duties. To provide flexible capabilities to agencies, a virtual number is provisioned and configured to enable an operator to administrate controlled calls without dedicated recording devices. Using the virtual number, the operator may setup a controlled call between a victim and a baddie. The victim is contacted via the virtual number by the operator and optionally informed about the controlled call process. In turn, the baddie is contacted using number information of the victim'"'"'s phone and connected with the victim. Call audio between the victim and baddie is transmitted to the operator. When necessary, the operator may terminate the call remotely from the telephonic device the operator used to setup the call.
