Abstract
A method for processing a communication between a first party and a second party is disclosed. A communication is received from the first party, the communication having first party information, and second party information. An entry in a database is identified that matches at least one of the first party information and the second party information and for which a predetermined rule is satisfied. A telephone number associated with the matching database entry is selected. The selected telephone number is transmitted to the second party.

A system for processing a call to a call target, the system comprising:
- a database storing outbound call originator identifying information indexed by call modification triggers;
- and
- an information processor configured to:
- receive information for the call including at least an area code of the phone number of the call target;
- access the database to determine whether one of the call modification triggers is satisfied by the area code of the call target;
- retrieve outbound call originator identifying information indexed to the satisfied call modification trigger, where the retrieved outbound call originator identifying information is a phone number having an area code matching the area code of the phone number of the call target;
- and
- transmit the retrieved outbound call originator identifying information to the call target in connection with an outbound call.
A computer for processing a call to a call target, comprising:
- memory having at least one region for storing computer executable program code;
- and a processor for executing the program code stored in the memory, wherein the program code comprises:
- code for receiving information for the call by an information processor including at least an area code of the call target;
- code for accessing a database by the information processor, the database storing outbound call originator identifying information indexed by call modification triggers;
- code for determining by the information processor that at least one of the call modification triggers is satisfied by an area code from a geographic region the same as a geographic region of an area code of the call target;
- code for retrieving outbound call originator identifying information indexed to the at least one satisfied call modification trigger from the database by the information processor where the retrieved outbound call originator identifying information is a phone number having an area code from a geographic region the same as a geographic region of the area code of the call target;
- and
- code for transmitting the retrieved outbound call originator identifying information to the call target in connection with an outbound call.
A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium having computer-executable software code stored thereon, the code for processing a call to a call target comprising:
- code for receiving information for the call by an information processor including at least an area code of the call target;
- code for accessing a database by the information processor, the database storing outbound call originator identifying information indexed by call modification triggers;
- code for determining by the information processor that at least one of the call modification triggers is satisfied based on an area code from a geographic region the same as a geographic region of an area code of the call target;
- code for retrieving outbound call originator identifying information indexed to the at least one matching call modification trigger from the database by the information processor where the retrieved outbound call originator identifying information is a phone number having an area code from a geographic region the same as a geographic region of the area code of the call target;
- and
- code for transmitting the retrieved outbound call originator identifying information to the call target in connection with an outbound call.
