At this time, the number identification unit 120 may refer to the storage unit 130 to identify whether there is a carrier identification number or a country code stored in the storage unit 130 in the 4th to 6th digits of the first digit. In FIG. 2, the calling number '1099893421' excluding the carrier identification number 365 and the country code 82 may be the telephone number of the calling terminal.

At this time, the number identification unit 120 checks whether a receiving terminal that is an international call is subscribed to the calling party display service, and when the calling party is subscribed to the calling party display service, identifies the carrier identification number or the country code from the international calling number .

The screen display unit 140 displays the caller information corresponding to the international origination number excluding the identified communication carrier identification number or country code on the screen of the receiving terminal. That is, the screen display unit 140 can display the caller information of the calling terminal stored in the phone book of the receiving terminal on the screen. Caller information may include a telephone number, caller name, picture, and the like.

In another embodiment, the number identification unit 120 may identify the country code by checking the location of the originating terminal. The country code is easily obtainable when the location of the calling terminal is roughly confirmed. Accordingly, the number identification unit 120 can identify the carrier identification number of the foreign communication company to which the calling terminal is subscribed, based on the identified location, by confirming the location of the caller. Domestic mobile communication companies to which an originating terminal is subscribed may cooperate with an overseas telecommunication company to provide communication services when they go abroad with the originating terminal. Therefore, the number identification unit 120 can easily know the information of the overseas communication company by country if the country is known to the confirmed location.

In an embodiment, the storage unit 130 may store caller information associated with the calling number. The calling number may be the telephone number of the calling terminal and may be stored in the telephone directory of the receiving terminal. The telephone directory is stored in the storage unit 130. Caller information may include a telephone number, caller name, picture, and the like.

The number comparing unit 150 may compare the stored number with the stored number from the first digit of the international origination number excluding the identified carrier identification number or country code. For example, in the case of '001 1 405 XXX XXXX' or '0035 1 405 XXX XXXX', since '1' is a U.S. country code, the number comparing unit 150 compares the identified carrier identification number (001) 405 XXX XXXX 'of the international originating number except for "

As a result of the comparison, the screen display unit 140 can display the caller information associated with the corresponding caller number on the screen of the receiving terminal. That is, as a result of the comparison, the screen display unit 140 may display the caller information for the calling number having the same number from the first number of the international calling number except for the communication service provider identification number or the country code.

Example  2

The storage unit 130 stores caller information associated with the calling number. The calling number may be the telephone number of the calling terminal and may be stored in the telephone directory of the receiving terminal. The telephone directory is stored in the storage unit 130. Caller information may include a telephone number, caller name, picture, and the like.

The telephone receiving unit 110 receives an international call including an international call number from the calling terminal. The international originating number includes the originating number (telephone number) of the originating terminal, and may include a carrier identification number or a country code.

The number comparing unit 150 compares the number from the last digit of the international calling number to a predetermined digit number with the stored calling number. In general, the number comparing unit 150 can identify at least one phone number that is the same as the calling number among the phone numbers stored in the phone book by comparing only the last four digits of the incoming call number. Accordingly, the number comparing unit 150 may compare the number from the last digit of the international origination number to the digit number of four or more digits with the stored originating number.

The screen display unit 140 displays caller information associated with the outgoing call number, which is compared according to the comparison result, on the screen of the receiving terminal. That is, as a result of the comparison, the screen display unit 140 can display the caller information for the calling number having the same number from the last digit of the international calling number to the 4-digit number on the screen.

At this time, the screen display unit 140 may display the international caller's number from the first digit to the selected digit number so as to be distinguished from the caller's information. Alternatively, the screen display unit 140 may display a number corresponding to a communication carrier identification number or a country code so as to be distinguished from the caller information.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of a caller information display method in an international call according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 (Example 1), in step S410, a caller information display method (hereinafter, referred to as 'caller information display method') stores the carrier identification number or the country code in the storage unit. The country code is a code number corresponding to the country in the area where the calling terminal that made an international call is located. The communication company identification number is an identification number of an overseas communication company in which the originating terminal is interlocked with the mobile communication company of the originating terminal. Accordingly, the caller information display method may store the information in the storage unit in order to identify the carrier identification number or the country code from the international origination number when an international call is received.

In step S420, the caller information display method receives an international call including an international call number from a calling terminal.

In step S430, the calling party information display method refers to the storage unit and identifies the carrier identification number or the country code from the international calling number. In general, since the first four digits of the international origination number correspond to the carrier identification number or the country code, the calling party information display method identifies the carrier identification number or country code from the first four digits of the international originating number .

Alternatively, the caller information display method may identify the country code by checking the location of the calling terminal, and may identify the carrier identification number of the foreign communication company to which the calling terminal subscribes based on the identified location. When the location of the originating terminal is confirmed, the originating terminal can be identified, and the originating terminal can identify an overseas carrier that has a business alliance with a domestic mobile communication company to which the originating terminal subscribes, The location of the originating terminal can be used to identify the country code and the carrier identification number.

In step S440, the caller information display method displays caller information corresponding to the international caller ID except the identified communication carrier identification number or country code on the screen of the receiving terminal.

In an exemplary embodiment, the caller information display method may store caller information associated with an origination number in a storage unit, and may compare the stored originator number with a prefix number of an international origination number excluding the identified carrier identification number or country code . As a result of the comparison, the caller information display method may display caller information for a calling number having the same number from the first number of the international calling number excluding the carrier number or the country code.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure of a caller information display method in an international call according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5 (second embodiment), in step S510, the calling party information display method stores the calling party information associated with the calling number in the storage unit. The calling number is the telephone number of the calling terminal, the telephone number of the receiving terminal, and the telephone number can be stored in the storing unit. Caller information may include a telephone number, caller name, picture, and the like.

In step S520, the caller information display method receives an international call including an international call number from a calling terminal.

In step S530, the calling party information display method compares the last number of the international calling number to a predetermined number of digits with the stored calling number. In general, if only the last four digits of the calling number are compared, at least one telephone number that is the same as the calling number among telephone numbers stored in the telephone directory can be identified. Therefore, the caller information display method may compare the number from the last digit of the international origination number to the digit number of 4 or more digits with the stored originating number.

In step S540, the calling party information display method displays caller information associated with the calling number compared based on the comparison result on the screen of the receiving terminal. The caller information display method may display caller information for a calling number having the same number from the last digit of the international calling number to the 4-digit number on the screen.

Alternatively, the caller information display method may display, from the international caller's number, a number ranging from a first digit to a predetermined digit number so as to be distinguished from the caller's information. Accordingly, the caller information display method may display a number corresponding to a communication carrier identification number or a country code in a distinguishable manner from the caller information. This is because the caller information display method can display other numbers than the caller information separately from the caller information because the first to fourth digits of the international origination number are the country code and the carrier identification number.

In the foregoing detailed description of the present invention, specific examples have been described. However, various modifications are possible within the scope of the present invention. The technical idea of the present invention should not be limited to the embodiments of the present invention but should be determined by the equivalents of the claims and the claims.
