Abstract
A phone anti-stalk system operates by determining when a user has carried out actions that are unacceptable. This can operate according to a rule, for example, which prevents the user from being allowed to receive calls after the user carries out some kind of action like making too many calls in a row. Rules are set which block communications from those users who carry out specified actions, like calling repeatedly without leaving messages. The user is then automatically blocked for some amount of time. The user anti-stalk criteria is stored associated with the contact'"'"'s information, so that any time a communication comes in from that contact, it is automatically prevented from being indicated. The contacts of the user can also be set so that they automatically update based on information from a remote database.
