Abstract

The subject technology discloses configurations for receiving a request from a user to log into a communications server in which the request includes user credentials. The user is authenticated based on the included user credentials in the request. The user is then permitted to log into the communications server if the user is successfully authenticated. An input selecting a person of interest is received. The subject technology retrieves information associated with the selected person of interest. A dossier of information including the retrieved information associated with the selected person of interest is generated. The subject technology transmits the generated dossier to the user or an indicated recipient.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:

receiving a request from a user to log into a communications server, wherein the request includes user credentials;

authenticating the user based on the included user credentials in the request;

permitting the user to log into the communications server if the user is successfully authenticated;

receiving a first input selecting a person of interest;

retrieving information associated with the selected person of interest;

generating a dossier of information including the retrieved information associated with the selected person of interest; and

transmitting a link to the generated dossier to the user or to an indicated recipient, wherein the link expires after a predetermined amount of time.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the selected person of interest comprises a detainee.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a second input defining one or more filters for restricting information associated with the selected person of interest;

determining a set of user restrictions associated with the user;

retrieving information associated with the selected person of interest based on the defined one or more filters and the determined set of user restrictions;

receiving a third input selecting a download format for the retrieved information;

generating a second dossier of information including the retrieved information associated with the selected person of interest; and

transmitting the generated second dossier to the user or to a respective indicated recipient based on the selected download format.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the set of user restrictions associated with the user comprises at least one of user privileges, access to data, or download permissions.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the defined one or more filters comprise at least one of a time period, a type of data, a second person associated with the selected person of interest, or any person connected to the selected person of interest.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the second person associated with the selected person of interest comprises a friend of the selected person of interest or a family member of the selected person of interest.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the generated dossier includes one or more checksum values for verifying the retrieved information included in the generated dossier.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the retrieved information associated with the selected person of interest includes data pertaining to at least one of an audio file, a video file, an attempted call, a completed call, a rejected call, a voicemail, a message left for customer service, a call to customer service representative, a call to automated customer service, an exchanged text, an exchanged photo, an exchanged video, a video visit scheduled, a video visit completed, a kiosk deposit, a deposit by mail, a deposit over a phone, a grievance or inmate request attempted, a grievance or inmate request submitted, a do not contact block via customer service, a do not contact block via web site, an investigator note, a customer service note, a visited website, a game played, a contact searched, a video station login, a web login by a friend or family, an inmate balance check, or an inmate balance transfer.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein all recording files and data are compressed or merged into a single downloadable file.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the selected download format comprises one of an e-mail including a link to the generated dossier, a compressed file, a Portable Document Format (PDF) file, an MHTML file, or and webarchive file.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein the link to the generated dossier expires after a predetermined period of time.

12. A system, the system comprising:

a memory comprising instructions; and

one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to;

receive a request from a user to log into a communications server, wherein the request include user credentials;

authenticate the user based on the included user credentials in the request;

permit the user to log into the communications server if the user is successfully authenticated;

receive a first input selecting a person of interest;

receive a second input defining one or more filters for restricting information associated with the selected person of interest;

determine a set of user restrictions associated with the user;

retrieve information associated with the selected person of interest based on the defined one or more filters and the determined set of user restrictions;

receive a third input selecting a download format for the retrieved information;

generate a dossier of information including the retrieved information associated with the selected person of interest; and

transmit a link to the generated dossier to the user or an indicated recipient based on the selected download format, wherein the link expires after a predetermined period of time.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the selected person of interest comprises a detainee.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the defined one or more filters comprise at least one of a time period, type of data, a second person associated with the selected person of interest, or any person connected to the selected person of interest.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the second person associated with the selected person of interest comprises a friend of the selected person of interest or a family member of the selected person of interest.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the generated dossier includes one or more checksum values for verifying the retrieved information included in the generated dossier.

17. The system of claim 12, wherein the retrieved information associated with the selected person of interest includes data pertaining to at least one of an audio file, a video file, an attempted call, a completed call, a rejected call, a voicemail, a message left for customer service, a call to customer service representative, a call to automated customer service, an exchanged text, an exchanged photo, an exchanged video, a video visit scheduled, a video visit completed, a kiosk deposit, a deposit by mail, a deposit over a phone, a grievance or inmate request attempted, a grievance or inmate request submitted, a do not contact block via customer service, a do not contact block via web site, an investigator note, a customer service note, a visited website, a game played, a contact searched, a video station login, a web login by a friend or family, an inmate balance check, or an inmate balance transfer.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein all recording files and data are compressed or merged into a single downloadable file.

19. The system of claim 12, wherein the set of user restrictions associated with the user comprise at least one of user privileges, access to data, or download permissions.

20. A non-transitory, computer readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

receiving a request from a user to log into a communications server, wherein the request includes user credentials;

authenticating the user based on the included user credentials in the request;

permitting the user to log into the communications server if the user is successfully authenticated;

receiving a first input selecting a person of interest;

receiving a second input defining one or more filters for restricting information associated with the selected person of interest;

determining a set of user restrictions associated with the user;

retrieving information associated with the selected person of interest based on the defined one or more filters and the determined set of user restrictions;
