NETWORK DELIVERY OF PERSONALIZED CALLER IDENTIFICATION

摘要

A subscriber (180) is provided (211) with personal caller identification information when a telephone call is placed (201) to the subscriber (180). In particular, a network service platform (110) is supplied (202) with a calling party number. A network caller ID database (130) is queried (204) using the calling party number to retrieve (205) network caller ID information. A central personal address book (100) is queried (206), using the calling party number, to retrieve (207) personal caller identification information associated with the calling party number. Then a network element (120) forwards (211) the network caller identification information supplemented with the personal caller identification information to the subscriber (180) when connecting the telephone call to the subscriber.
