U.S. Patent 10756912 was awarded to Avaya Inc. on August 25, 2020 and is entitled “Distributed ledger and blockchain to confirm validity of call recordings.” The first named inventor is Mehmet C. Balasaygun of Freehold, NJ. The abstract contains an overview of the patent disclosure:
A conference call is recorded. For example, a voice conference call between a group of users is recorded. Information about the recording of the conference call is identified. For example, a date, a time, a length, an agenda, and a list of participants are identified for the conference call. A block is added to a blockchain with the information about the recording of the conference call. The blockchain with the information about the recording of the conference call is sent to a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger is where copies of the blockchain are stored on multiple nodes on one or more networks. By having multiple copies distributed in one or more networks, it is much more difficult to remove all the information that the conference call actually took place. Link to Full Patent
