Numbers-as-a-Platform Patent

Numbers-as-a-Platform Patent

Invented a Verizon identity platform concept for routing notifications and services across apps, devices, and channels.

Challenge

Modern users jump between devices and apps, but identifiers (phone numbers, enterprise IDs, federation tokens) and notifications remain siloed. We needed a carrier-grade way to expose numbers-as-a-platform for third parties without losing control, while respecting activity context and user priority.

Approach

Directed design of a services layer that ingests app/client configurations, links identifiers across endpoints, and continuously scores activity windows. Routed incoming events through a ranking service that selects the optimal destination while preserving centralized governance and partner extensibility.

Outcome

Delivered a reusable platform capability that improved partner reach and reduced wasted notifications, while aligning SDKs, scoring logic, and governance controls with carrier-grade security and reliability requirements.
