The distant ran 29 October 2014 when Xiaomi's idea was to have unwanted calls automatically blocked. A very nice idea which, however, has not seen the birth of any concrete project, at least until today. After six years it seems that something has unlocked and that the patent in question has been reopened in some way. A very useful service that would allow us to get rid of all those annoying switchboards (with all respect for the switchboard operator profession) who call us even though we have never given authorization to do so. Here are a few detail.
An innovative system that acts as a shield to block unwanted calls: this is Xiaomi's idea of six years ago
According to the source that (we) put at the end of the article, the system in question would take the name of "Method and device for blocking calls". A name is a guarantee: as the name suggests, this system acts for Xiaomi as a blocking for unwanted calls. The patent solves the problem that when a number marked as "unfamiliar" calls, the our device reminds us that we need to hang up or don't answer. Below is the patent presented.
But let's see what the brand came up with at the time to prevent spam calls from clogging up our day. In short, the technology aims at block a call while it starts from the main device; subsequently the system identify the phone from which this call starts and "decides" if it belongs to a malicious number or less; if the call is identified as malicious then our device does not receive any message. If, on the other hand, the number is not recognized as harmful, then we will receive the call in the simplest way possible. Based on what was revealed the system would be able to recognize those calls that are routed from server to server. These are the very first that will be blocked.
A system that years ago saw no luck but now it would be really useful to implement. How about? You would need a automatic system on your Xiaomi for call blocking?
Hi, I have a xiaomi redmi 9 pro and I find this lock feature useful. But unfortunately this does not allow me to receive phone calls from my operator (in this case Vodafone) from which I am waiting to be contacted but they promptly pass as spam. I was wondering and wondering if there is any way to unblock spam?
Thank you!
Hi Alfredo. What you read in the article is a patent and not a function already active on Xiaomi and Redmi smartphones. As for spam calls, I know that Vodafone uses special filters. It is certainly not a problem born of your smartphone. I recommend that you contact Vodafone for further clarification.
