Providing SIP signaling data for third party surveillance
First Claim
1. A system for facilitating surveillance of a targeted user associated with an initiation request received by a session initiation protocol (SIP) server requesting at least one communication session between the targeted user and one or more communicators, the system comprising:
- an application programming interface (API) operable to receive a surveillance subscription request from a third party subscriber, the subscription request identifying at least the targeted user; and
a SIP events monitoring module operable to detect occurrence of one or more predetermined SIP events related to the at least one communication session and notify the third party subscriber of the one or more detected SIP events, wherein the SIP events monitoring module;
monitors communication sessions of the targeted user for a duration specified in the subscription request;
generates a report identifying an initiator of the at least one communication session and a recipient of the at least one communication sessionidentifying which of the initiator or the recipient terminated the at least one communication session; and
sends the report to the third party subscriber.

Abstract
A method for facilitating surveillance of a targeted user participating in communication sessions conducted over a communications network, such as a voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) network, that employs a session initiation protocol (SIP). The method includes receiving a subscription request from a third party subscriber, the subscription request identifying a targeted user to be monitored, monitoring communication sessions in which the targeted user is a participant, to detect SIP events corresponding to state transitions associated with the communication sessions. A system for facilitating surveillance of a targeted user includes an application programming interface (API) operable to receive a subscription request from a third party subscriber, the subscription request identifying the targeted user, wherein the third party subscriber is not a participant in the one or more communication sessions, and a SIP events monitoring module operable to detect one or more predetermined SIP events associated with the communication sessions based on the subscription request and notify the third party subscriber of the detected SIP events.

8. A method for facilitating surveillance of a targeted user associated with an initiation request received by a session initiation protocol (SIP) server requesting at least one communication session between the targeted user and one or more communicators, the method comprising:
-
receiving a surveillance subscription request from a third party subscriber, the subscription request identifying at least the targeted user; monitoring communication sessions of the targeted user for a duration specified in the surveillance subscription request; detecting occurrence of one or more predetermined SIP events related to at least one communication session; and notifying the third party subscriber of the one or more detected SIP events, wherein the notifying comprises; identifying an initiator of the at least one communication session and a recipient of the at least one communication session; identifying whether the initiator or the recipient terminated the at least one communication session; and sending at least one notification to the third party subscriber identifying the initiator, the recipient, and informing the third party subscriber which of the initiator or the recipient terminated the at least one communication session. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system for facilitating surveillance of a targeted user associated with an initiation request received by a session initiation protocol (SIP) server requesting at least one communication session between the targeted user and one or more communicators, the system comprising:
-
at least one processor; memory, operatively connected to the at least one processor and containing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method, the method comprising; receiving a surveillance subscription request from a third party subscriber, the subscription request identifying at least the targeted user; monitoring communication sessions of the targeted user for a duration specified in the surveillance subscription request; detecting occurrence of one or more predetermined SIP events related to at least one communication session; and notifying the third party subscriber of the one or more detected SIP events, wherein the notifying comprises; identifying an initiator of the at least one communication session and a recipient of the at least one communication session; identifying whether the initiator or the recipient terminated the at least one communication session; and sending at least one notification to the third party subscriber identifying the initiator, the recipient, and informing the third party subscriber which of the initiator or the recipient terminated the at least one communication session. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
