Method and inference engine for processing telephone communication data
First Claim
1. A method of processing telephone communication data, the method comprising:
- obtaining telephone communication data that associates telephone parties, identifiable by telephone network identifiers, with usage data that describes usage of one or more services of a telephone network,generating contact structure data for a set of said telephone parties based on said telephone communication data, said contact structure data expressing a degree of connectivity between each member of at least a part of said set and one or more other members of said set, the degree of connectivity being based at least in part on a duration, frequency and number of interactions between members of the set of said telephone parties,analyzing the contact structure data to identify a subset of said set of telephone parties, andadjusting a network service of a telephone party based on the analysis of the contact structure data, the adjusting a network service including at least one of the following;
providing a secure communication for said telephone party,increasing the throughput of the communications of said telephone party,adapting a service charge for said telephone party, andadapting a multi-party service to said telephone party.

Abstract
A method and an inference engine for processing telephone communication data of telephone parties of a telephone network are provided to allow better services and better allocation of resources in a telephone network. The inference engine comprises an obtainer for obtaining telephone communication data that associates telephone parties identifiable by telephone network identifiers with usage data that describes usage of one or more services of a telephone network. Further, the inference engine also comprises a generator for generating contact structure data for a set of the telephone parties based on the telephone communication data, wherein the contact structure data expresses a degree of connectivity between each member of at least a part of the set and one or more other members. The generated data gives the required information to improve services and resource allocation in the network.
