Abstract

An enhanced caller-id service providing calling name and calling number information to subscribers via a server system. The server system can combine the caller-id information with other data to provide more detailed reports for the subscriber. The server can also be used to maintain long-term calling records for subscribers. The caller-id information can be accessed remotely by the subscriber and can be downloaded from the server to another computer for use with other applications.

Claims

1. A method for recording and providing enhanced caller information using an advanced intelligent network, said method comprising:

provisioning a trigger on a subscriber'"'"'s telephone line at a service switching point;

receiving a call from a caller to the subscriber at the service switching point, wherein said call encounters the trigger;

sending a query to a service control point in response to the trigger;

sending a message from the service control point to a server in response to the query, said message comprising a calling number and a called number; and

providing the calling number and other information to the subscriber from the server.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the message further comprises a calling name.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the other information further comprises a calling name.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the other information further comprises a calling name, a calling date and a calling time.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the other information further comprises a calling name, a calling date, a calling time, and a call length.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the other information further comprises a calling name, a calling date, a calling time and a call stop time.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the other information further comprises a caller address.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the other information further comprises a map showing the caller'"'"'s address.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the other information further comprises a caller location.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the other information further comprises a map showing the caller location.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the server is a web-server accessible via the Internet.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the server is a file transfer protocol-server accessible via the Internet.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the server is an email-server accessible via the Internet.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the server is an interactive voice response server accessible via a telephone call.

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of receiving a username and a password on the server before the step of providing the calling number and other information.

16. The system of claim 1, wherein the server is accessible by the subscriber via a wireless device.

17. A system for providing enhanced caller information using an advanced intelligent network, said system comprising:

a trigger provisioned on a subscriber'"'"'s telephone line at a service switching point;

a service control point in communication with the service switching point; and

a server in communication with the service control point,

wherein when a call to the subscriber is received at the service switching point, a query is sent from the service switching point to the service control point, and wherein in response to the query, the service control point sends a message to the server, and wherein in response to a request by the subscriber, the server provides a calling number to the subscriber.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the server further provides a calling name to the subscriber.

19. The system of claim 17, wherein the server further provides a calling name, a calling date and a calling time to the subscriber.

20. The system of claim 17, wherein the server further provides a calling name, a calling date, a calling time, and a call length to the subscriber.

21. The system of claim 17, wherein the server further provides a calling name, a calling date, a calling time and a call stop time to the subscriber.

22. The system of claim 17, wherein the server further provides a caller address to the subscriber.

23. The system of claim 22, wherein the server further provides a map showing the caller'"'"'s address to the subscriber.

24. The system of claim 17, wherein the server further provides a caller location to the subscriber.

25. The system of claim 24, wherein the server further provides a map showing the caller'"'"'s address to the subscriber.

26. The system of claim 17, wherein the server is a web-server accessible via the Internet.

27. The system of claim 17, wherein the server is a file transfer protocol-server accessible via the Internet.

28. The system of claim 17, wherein the server is an email-server accessible via the Internet.

29. The system of claim 17, wherein the server is accessible by the subscriber via a wireless device.

30. A method for providing enhanced caller information using an advanced intelligent network, said method comprising:

provisioning a trigger on a subscriber'"'"'s telephone line at a mobile switching center;

receiving a call from a caller to the subscriber at the mobile switching center, wherein said call encounters the trigger;

sending a query to a service control point in response to the trigger;

sending a message from the service control point to a server in response to the query, said message comprising a calling number and a called number; and

providing the calling number and other information to the subscriber from the server.

31. The method of claim 30, wherein message further comprises a calling name.

32. The method of claim 30, wherein the other information further comprises a calling name.

33. The method of claim 30, wherein the other information further comprises a calling name, a calling date and a calling time.

34. The method of claim 30, wherein the other information further comprises a calling name, a calling date, a calling time, and a call length.

35. The method of claim 30, wherein the other information further comprises a calling name, a calling date, a calling time and a call stop time.

36. The method of claim 30, wherein the other information further comprises a caller address.

37. The method of claim 36, wherein the other information further comprises a map showing the caller'"'"'s address.

38. The method of claim 30, wherein the other information further comprises a caller location.

39. The method of claim 38, wherein the other information further comprises a map showing the caller'"'"'s address.

40. The method of claim 30, wherein the server is a web-server accessible via the Internet.
