System and method for reporting calls
First Claim
1. A method for reporting calls having associated call transaction data, the calls being from a call originator to a call recipient, the method comprising:
- accessing the call transaction data, including at least one of a plurality of possible call originator location parameters;
correlating one or more of a plurality of possible call originator location parameters provided with the call transaction data with one or more of a plurality of stored location parameters;
determining an approximate longitude and latitude of the call originator for each call based on a closest correlation of the stored location parameters and the call originator location parameters associated with the call transaction;
assigning a value to the determined longitude and latitude, the value indicating a degree of accuracy of the determined longitude and latitude; and
storing the approximate longitude and latitude.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for reporting calls. The system first receives call transaction data from a telephone company. The system verifies the validity of the data before proceeding with processing the data. Next the data is geocoded so that the calls can be traced to a given location. The resultant call detail data is then transmitted to parties who have subscribed to the service. A report generator uses the call detail data to generate tables, graphs, and maps which are useful to the subscriber. When generating maps, the report generator uses the geocoded information to geographically locate given calls on a map.
