Methods and systems for augmenting caller ID information

A system for augmenting and transmitting telephonic entity data, comprising:

• at least one data storage, the data storage comprising a collection of data, the collection containing an augmented data record;
• a telephonic apparatus, the apparatus being configured to:
• receive an incoming call from a caller entity at a caller device;
• receive from a switched telephone network (STN) telephone calls;
• receive caller ID information from the STN, the caller ID information comprising a caller data element, the caller data element representing the caller's telephone number;
• communicate over one or more networks with a computing apparatus;
• at least one network-connected computing apparatus to:
• at least partially execute computer code with a processor;
• communicate over the one or more networks with a telephonic apparatus;
• access the data storage over the one or more networks;
• generate a trigger event upon detection of telephony signaling indicative of receipt of an incoming telephone call from the switched telephone network (STN);
• in response to the trigger event, search for and retrieve within the data storage the augmented data record, the augmented data record comprising at least one augmented data element associated with the caller data element, the at least one augmented data element not being included within the received caller ID information;
• associate within the data storage a second augmented data record having at least one association between an augmented data element of the augmented data record with a second augmented data element from within the second augmented data record;
• transmit the first augmented data element or the second augmented data element to a receiving device over the one or more networks.

A method for augmenting and transmitting telephonic entity data, comprising:

• providing a telephonic switching and computing framework, the framework to connect with a switched telephone network (STN) and a data network;
• providing access to a data storage over the data network, the data storage comprising a collection of data, the collection containing an augmented data record;
• providing access to at least one data storage over the data network, the at least one data storage comprising at least one collection of data;
• providing access to a collection of data containing an augmented data record;
• receiving an incoming telephone call from the STN, the incoming telephone call originating from a caller;
• receiving caller ID information from the STN, the caller ID information comprising a caller data element, the caller data element representing the caller's telephone number;
• providing access to a collection of data containing a second augmented data record, the second augmented data record having at least one association between an augmented data element of the augmented data record with a second augmented data element from within the second augmented data record, the augmented data element of the augmented data record not being contained within the caller ID information;
• generating a trigger event upon detection of telephony signaling associated with receipt of the incoming telephone call from the switched telephone network (STN) within the telephonic switching and computing framework;
• in response to the trigger event, searching for and retrieving within the data storage the augmented data record, the augmented data record comprising the augmented data element associated with the caller data element;
• further in response to the trigger event, searching for and retrieving within the one or more data storages the second augmented data record;
• further in response to the trigger event, saving the second augmented data element or a variation of the second augmented data element to a data storage over the network;
• further in response to the trigger event, transmitting the first augmented data element or the second augmented data element to a receiving device over the network.
