Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007101821A1] The invention relates to a method for the computer-assisted identification of a class of VolP calls of a first type (spam) in a communication network (internet). Said communication network has a plurality (N) of first subscribers (TnI-I,..., Tnl-5) and a plurality (M) of second subscribers (Tn2-1,..., Tn2-7), the first and the second subscribers being allocated a definite characteristic (IP address, telephone number, e-mail address) wherein, at least some of the first subscribers (TnI-I,..., Tnl-5) are allocated, respectively, with at least one list (white list, black list) which contains at least one definite characteristic of the second subscriber. During a call of one of the second subscribers to one of the first subscribers, a control screens to see whether the characterisitc of the second subscriber is on the list of the first subscriber and in the event that the second subscriber is not on the list of the called first subscribers, the lists of the additional first subscriber are used to make a decision whether the call is classified as a call of the first type (spam or trusted caller).
