METHOD TO TAG A PHONE CALL TO COMMUNICATE PURPOSE OF THE CALL

摘要

Phone calls may be tagged with the importance or the context of the call to be displayed along with the caller ID information on the display of a receiving phone. The context information is thus made available even before the call is answered to aid the user in determining whether or not to answer the call or how long thereafter it would be appropriate to wait before the call is returned.
