Claims16
A method for communicating between first and second communication devices in a telephone connection for voice communications, comprising:
- receiving, at a server associated with the first communication device, a first signal from the first communication device, the first signal comprising a first request for a data object associated with a second communication device and including at least an identity of the second device;
- providing the first communication device the data object associated with the second communication device;
- as a result of the first request by the first communication device, providing identification information of the first communication device that enables the second communication device to access a data object associated with the first communication device;
- and
- providing to the second communication device a data object associated with the first communication device based on the provided identification information of the first communication device;
- wherein the second communication device is provided a data object associated with the first communication device only if the first communication device requested a data object associated with the second communication device;
- and
- wherein the data objects have at least one of visual information and aural information that is to be presented to a requesting party.
A method for communicating between a second communication device and a first communication device in a telephone connection for voice communications, comprising the steps of:
- identifying, at the second communication device, the occurrence of a triggering event;
- transmitting to a server associated with the second communication device a request for a data object associated with the first communication device;
- and
- receiving the requested data object from the second server;
- wherein the request for a data object by the second communication device for a data object associated with the first communication device is fulfilled only if the first communication device requested a data object associated with the second communication device;
- and
- wherein the data objects have at least one of visual information and aural information that is to be presented to a requesting party.
