## Abstract

A method, system, and computer readable medium comprising instructions for providing Internet protocol enabled information delivery are provided. Information from a calling party is received at an Internet protocol enabled device. A lookup of information relating to the calling party is performed in a database via an Internet protocol connection. A message is received from the database comprising information relating to the calling party.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method, comprising:
sending, by an Internet Protocol enabled device, a query for information relating to a calling party to a database based on an Automatic Number Identification (ANI)-related identifier of the calling party;
receiving, by the Internet Protocol enabled device and based on the identifier, the information relating to the calling party, from a database;
displaying, by the Internet Protocol enabled device, the information relating to the calling party on a display of the Internet Protocol enabled device;
wherein the information is an alert in response to an occurrence of an event related to the calling party.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, comprising receiving an identifier, by the Internet Protocol enabled device, of a called party.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, comprising determining, by the Internet Protocol enabled device, whether a called number is a paying subscriber by verifying with a database or a Website, wherein if the called number is not a paying subscriber then forgoing downloading, by the Internet Protocol enabled device, a software program.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1 comprising receiving a message from the database, by the Internet Protocol enabled device, comprising information relating to the calling party.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising at least one of:
determining, by the Internet Protocol enabled device, whether the identifier is located in the database;
returning, by the Internet Protocol enabled device, information from the database relating to the calling party if the identifier is located in the database; and
not returning, by the Internet Protocol enabled device, information from the database relating to the calling party if the identifier is not located in the database.

### Claim 6 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, further comprising matching the identifier of the calling party against a plurality of identifiers stored in the Internet Protocol enabled device by said device

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The method of claim 2, further comprising retrieving information relating to the calling party by the Internet Protocol enabled device when a match exists.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the database is at least one of a calling name database and another database.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the information relating to the calling party comprises at least one of a telephone number of the calling party, a name, a city, a state, an address, a photo, a video, a text, a hyperlink, and any other information that can be sent via the Internet Protocol connection.

### Claim 10

A system, comprising:
at least one Internet Protocol enabled device; and
at least one database configured to store information relating to a calling party, wherein the at least one database is communicably coupled to the at least one Internet Protocol enabled device;
wherein the at least one called Internet Protocol enabled device is configured to:
send a query for information relating to a calling party to a database based on an Automatic Number Identification (ANI)-related identifier of the calling party;
receive, based on the identifier, the information relating to the calling party, from the database;
display the information relating to the calling party on a display of the Internet Protocol enabled device;
wherein the information is an alert in response to an occurrence of an event related to the calling party.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The system of claim 10, wherein the at least one Internet Protocol enabled device is configured to perform a lookup of information relating to the calling party.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The system of claim 11, wherein the at least one Internet Protocol enabled device is further configured to determine whether the identifier is located in the database, return information from the database relating to the calling party when the identifier is located in the database, and not return information from the database relating to the calling party if the identifier is not located in the database.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The system of claim 11, wherein the at least one Internet Protocol enabled device is further configured to match the identifier of the calling party against a plurality of identifiers stored in the Internet Protocol enabled device.

### Claim 14 (depends on 11)

The system of claim 11, wherein the at least one Internet Protocol enabled device is further configured to retrieve information relating to the calling party from the Internet Protocol enabled device when a match exists.

### Claim 15 (depends on 10)

The system of claim 10, wherein the at least one database is at least one of a calling name database and another database.

### Claim 17

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for:
sending, by an Internet Protocol enabled device, a query for information relating to a calling party to a database based on an Automatic Number Identification (ANI)-related identifier of the calling party;
receiving, by the Internet Protocol enabled device and based on the identifier, the information relating to the calling party, from a database;
displaying, by the Internet Protocol enabled device, the information relating to the calling party on a display of the Internet Protocol enabled device;
wherein the information is an alert in response to an occurrence of an event related to the calling party.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 comprising instructions for receiving a message from the database, by the Internet Protocol enabled device, comprising information relating to the calling party.

### Claim 19 (depends on 17)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 comprising instructions for determining whether the identifier is located in the database.

### Claim 20 (depends on 19)

The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 comprising instructions for:
returning information from the database relating to the calling party when the identifier is located in the database; and
not returning, by the Internet Protocol enabled device, information from the database relating to the calling party if the identifier is not located in the database.
