Abstract
A method, system, and program for identifying parties to a call to an incoming calling party are provided. A context for a current call is identified, wherein the context comprises at least an identity of a caller and an identity of a callee to the current call. An identifier for an incoming calling party to the current call is identified. The context is filtered according to the identifier for the incoming calling party. Output of the filtered context to the incoming calling party is controlled.
Claims52
A method for identifying call parties, said method comprising:
- identifying a context for a current call, wherein said context comprises at least an identity of a caller and an identity of a callee to said current call;
- detecting an identifier for an incoming calling party to said current call;
- filtering said context according to said identifier for said incoming calling party;
- and
- controlling output of said filtered context to said incoming calling party.
A system for identifying call parties, said system comprising:
- a context inference service server communicatively connected to a trusted telephone network;
- means for identifying a context for a current call at said context inference service server, wherein said context comprises at least an identity of a caller and an identity of a callee to said current call;
- means for detecting an identifier for an incoming calling party to said current call at said context inference service server;
- means for filtering said context according to said identifier for said incoming calling party;
- and
- means for controlling output of said filtered context to said incoming calling party.
A computer program product for identifying call parties, said computer program product comprising:
- a recording medium;
- means, recorded on said recording medium, for identifying a context for a current call, wherein said context comprises at least an identity of a caller and an identity of a callee to said current call;
- means, recorded on said recording medium, for detecting an identifier for an incoming calling party to said current call;
- means, recorded on said recording medium, for filtering said context according to said identifier for said incoming calling party;
- and
- means, recorded on said recording medium, for controlling output of said filtered context to said incoming calling party.
A method for controlling call identification, said method comprising:
- identifying a caller identifier and a callee identifier for a caller and a callee of a call;
- responsive to detecting an incoming calling party identifier for an incoming calling party to said call, only transferring said caller identifier and said callee identifier to said incoming calling party if said incoming calling party identifier is included in a plurality of preferred incoming parties for said caller and said callee.
A system for controlling call identification, said system comprising:
- a telephone network for managing a call;
- identifying a caller identifier and a callee identifier for a caller and a callee of said call;
- responsive to detecting an incoming calling party identifier for an incoming calling party to said call, only transferring said caller identifier and said callee identifier to said incoming calling party if said incoming calling party identifier included in a plurality of preferred incoming parties for said caller and said callee.
A computer program product for controlling call identification, said computer program product comprising:
- a telephone network for managing a call;
- identifying a caller identifier and a callee identifier for a caller and a callee of said call;
- responsive to detecting an incoming calling party identifier for an incoming calling party to said call, only transferring said caller identifier and said callee identifier to said incoming calling party if said incoming calling party identifier is included in a plurality of preferred incoming parties for said caller and said callee.
A method for identifying an incoming call, comprising:
- detecting an incoming call request from an incoming calling party to a party from among a caller and callee to a current call;
- determining a context for said call in view of said incoming calling party;
- and
- distributing said context for said call to said caller and to said callee.
