Verifying an association between an application and a mobile device through a telecommunication network
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for verifying an association between a mobile computing device and an application, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system, a request to verify an application on a mobile computing device, wherein the application has an associated application instance identifier;
obtaining a mobile device identifier used to communicate with the mobile computing device;
initiating, by the computing system, one or more telephone call setup requests directed to the mobile computing device using the mobile device identifier and signaling to the mobile computing device a voice call, the one or more telephone call setup requests associated with a voice channel, wherein the one or more telephone call setup requests are used in verifying an association of the application instance identifier with the mobile device identifier; and
associating the application instance identifier with the mobile device identifier based on receiving an indication that the one or more telephone call setup requests were detected at the mobile computing device.

Abstract
A system for verifying an association between an application and a mobile computing device. The system receives a request to verify the application, which has an application instance identifier, on the mobile computing device. The system also obtains a mobile device identifier used to communicate with the mobile computing device. The system initiates one or more telephone call setup messages, which signal a voice call request, to the mobile computing device using the mobile device identifier. Based on receiving an indication that the one or more telephone call setup messages were detected at the mobile computing device, the system associates the application instance identifier with the mobile device identifier.
