Method, Device, and System of Providing Caller Identification Information to a User of a Wireless Device

A wireless device configured for providing caller identification information, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to receive, at the wireless device, a calling party phone number to be displayed by the wireless device;
• the at least one processor configured to search for the calling party phone number and a corresponding caller identification in a wireless device memory;
• the at least one processor configured to determine that the calling party phone number and a corresponding caller identification are not stored in the wireless device memory;
• the at least one processor configured to perform, in response to the determination that the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification are not stored on the wireless device memory, an external database search by connecting the wireless device to the Internet to search for the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification;
• the at least one processor configured to determine that the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification have been identified in the external database search;
• the at least one processor configured to display, in response to the determination that the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification have been identified in the external database search, the calling party phone number and the caller identification;
• the at least one processor is further configured to determine that the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification have been identified in the external database search and display webpage information on a display of the wireless device that allows a user to load a webpage where the caller identification is found;
• and
• the at least one processor is further configured to provide an option to the user to add the calling party phone number identified in the external database search to a “do not answer list” stored in the wireless device,
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to implement the search for the calling party phone number and a corresponding caller identification in the wireless device memory, the determination that the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification are not stored in the wireless device memory, the external database search for the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification, the determination that the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification have been identified in the external database search, and the display of the calling party phone number and the caller identification.

A tangible non-transitory memory storing a computer program, the computer program comprising one or more code segments that, when executed by a wireless device, cause at least one processor of the wireless device to:

• receive, at a wireless device, a calling party phone number to be displayed by the wireless device;
• search for the calling party phone number and a corresponding caller identification in a wireless device memory;
• determine that the calling party phone number and a corresponding caller identification are not stored in a wireless device memory;
• perform, in response to the determination that the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification are not stored on the wireless device memory, an external database search by connecting the wireless device to the Internet to search for the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification;
• determine that the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification have been identified in the external database search;
• display, in response to the determination that the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification have been identified in the external database search, the calling party phone number and the caller identification;
• and
• determine that the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification have been identified in the external database search further comprises:
• displaying webpage information on a display of the wireless device that allows a user to load a webpage where the caller identification is found;
• storing in the wireless device memory the calling party phone number, the webpage information, and the corresponding caller identification identified in the external database search;
• and
• providing an option to a user to add the calling party phone number identified in the external database search to a “do not answer list” stored in the wireless device,
• wherein the search for the calling party phone number and a corresponding caller identification in the wireless device memory, the determination that the calling party phone number and a corresponding caller identification are not stored in a wireless device memory, the external database search of the Internet to search for the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification, the determination that the calling party phone number and the corresponding caller identification have been identified in the external database search, and the display of the calling party phone number and the caller identification are performed by the at least one processor of the wireless device.
