Abstract

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for determining how an outgoing phone call is identified by recipient other than by Called Line Identification (CLI-P). When Caller 'A' initiates a call to Recipient 'B' the system sends a predefined signal, including, but not limited to, text, logo, icon, ring tone, music clip, video clip etc. ('Signal') to Recipient B's receiver or handset to identify Caller 'A', even if 'A' is unknown to 'B' and does not appear on any of B's lists of identified callers. Caller 'A' is the subscriber to the service and he determines the Signal to be identified with, on B's telecommunication apparatus.

Description

Method and apparatus for calling identification controlled by caller
B ackground of the Invention
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to caller's identification on telecommunications calls.
2. Description of Related Art
The need of identification of incoming calls has become an increasingly popular service. To-date, by using the service known as "Incoming Calling Line Identification" (ICLED), the recipient initiates the identification by creating a list of selected callers, recognized by the telecommunication apparatus and when a call comes in from a listed caller, it is identified and recipient can decide whether or not to answer the call.
The main disadvantage of prior art of ICLID is, that identification occurs only if callers' name, number, or other means of identification is recognized by recipients' telecommunication apparatus. This means that, unless recipient whishes to use some kind of special identification features that use the ICLID, the caller remains unknown to recipient apart from his number.
U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,283,824 & 5,784,444 assigned to Shaw provided some sort of solutions to a situation where the caller is not calling from a number recognized by recipients' apparatus, (like making a calling card call or using a different phone) by providing a telecommunication switching system which enables a protocol between the calling phone and the PBX switch. When the calling phone signals the PBX switch to set up a calling card call, the switch sends a tone to the phone requesting the calling card number. Then the caller dials or enters a number recognized by recipients' apparatus with or without a brief message. In any case, the need of recipient to have a pre-existing list of selected callers is required and the aforementioned setbacks have not been resolved. The present invention as described herein below is based on callers' mode of identification with no intervention of recipient.
Recipient will get an identified call, (in addition to the Network ICLID), sent to him by caller even if said caller is unknown to recipient and recipient is not a subscriber to any identification system or service. Identification can be by all known means including, but not limited to, text, logo, icon, ring tone, audio clips, video clips etc. The present invention enables a caller to add a brief message such as but not limited to brief contact details, business card, email address, etc. which is received by recipient, even if he decides not to answer the call. Recipient in this invention is passive.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention relates to a telecommunication system where recipient is passive and caller is a subscriber to an identification system. Recipient is not required to have a pre-existing list that includes caller name or other identification means, in order to receive an identified call from said caller.
Caller can always transmit his message and/or identification without been dependant on recipient's active act of either, including said caller in his callers list or receiving the call in order to read the message. From recipient's point of view, he is always able to better identify caller and decide whether or not to answer the call, without him having to take any active steps or pre defined setting.
The incoming identified call is not limited to caller's personal telephone number. As long as he is a subscriber to the identification system, he can place his call from any equipment of his choice. For example, when caller, who is a subscriber to the service, initiates a call including, his logo, to recipient, the system sends a predefined signal of the logo to recipient's receiver or handset to identify caller by his logo. The display of the logo appears on recipient's display means when incoming call is placed, as described in illustration Fig. 1. The signal that transfers the content can be set to be sent before the call, while calling, after calling or upon caller's request at any given time.
When caller A initiates a call to recipient B from a telecommunication apparatus (a wireless or wire line hand set), the switch Database (DB) acknowledges A as a subscriber to the service and forwards the call handling to Intelligent Network (IN) component. Once caller A is identified and the call is transferred to IN component, IN sends a Hold request to the switch. IN component retrieves information from IN database regarding caller's A predefined identification content to be sent to recipient B.
From this point some parallel activities occur: a. IN component sends the predefined identification content to the relevant distribution component for further treatment; b. The IN component waits a few seconds from retrieving information from the IN database regarding caller's A predefined identification content. When said time has elapsed, the IN component sends a release command in order to engage the dialing procedure to recipient B via switch; c. The switch initiates the call to recipient B and treats it as a regular call from caller A, including any call control option provisioned by recipient B.
The distribution component sends the predefined identification content to recipient B's telecommunication apparatus with no action by recipient. Once predefined identification content is displayed on recipient B's apparatus and waits for the incoming call. Upon receiving the incoming call signal, his active part is required to accept or revoke the identified call. The distributing component sends the sending procedure information to the IN component for log.

2. Detailed Description of Drawings
Fig. 1 Step by Step Illustration of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a simplified block diagram of present invention.
Caller A initiates a call (Ia) from his telecommunication apparatus (a wireless or wire line hand set) (1) to recipient' B telecommunication apparatus (3) through Provider Network NW (2). Switch Database (DB) (4) acknowledges A as a subscriber to the service and forwards (6) the call handling to Intelligent Network (IN) component (7).
IN sends a Hold request (5) to the switch (4). IN component retrieves information (8) from IN database (9) regarding caller's A predefined identification content to be sent to recipient B (3). IN component (7) sends (13) the predefined identification content to distribution component (12) for further treatment. IN component (7) waits a few seconds from retrieving information (8) from the IN database (9) regarding caller's A predefined identification content. At this break Distribution component (12) sends (14) the predefined identification content to recipient's telecommunication apparatus (3) and receives confirmation (15). When said break is over, IN component (7) sends a release command (10) in order to engage the dialing procedure to recipient B (3) via switch (4). Switch (4) initiates the call to recipient B's apparatus (3).
Fig, 3 is a simplified block diagram of step 1 - Initialization
