Abstract

The invention relates to a method for providing data relating to a user of a communication terminal (KEG2) for a querying communication terminal (KEG1). The method involves the communication terminal receiving a data query message (DAN), the data query message being used to transmit an identifier (MSISDN) for the querying communication terminal or for a user of the querying communication terminal. The communication terminal then outputs an identifier (MSISDN) for the querying communication terminal or for a user of the querying communication terminal using an output device (ANZ). The communication terminal accepts an input (G3) made following the identifier which has been output, the input providing the communication terminal with information about a group of communication subscribers with which the identifier (MSISDN) can be associated. A data store (DS) is read to determine which information types (A1, A3) are associated with this group (G3), and the querying communication terminal is then provided with the data (D) relating to the user of the communication terminal which are connected with these information types (A1, A3).

Claims

1. A method for providing data relating to a user of a communication terminal (KEG2) for a querying communication terminal (KEG1), where the method involves

the communication terminal (KEG2) receiving a data query message (DAN), the data query message (DAN) being used to transmit an identifier (MSISDN) for the querying communication terminal (KEG1) or for a user of the querying communication terminal (KEG1),

the communication terminal (KEG2) then outputting an identifier (MSISDN) for the querying communication terminal (KEG1) or for a user of the querying communication terminal (KEG1) using an output device (ANZ),

the communication terminal (KEG2) accepting an input (G3) made following the identifier which has been output, the input providing the communication terminal (KEG2) with information about a group of communication subscribers (G3) with which the identifier (MSISDN) can be associated,

a data store (DS) being read to determine which information types (A1, A3) are associated with this group (G3), and

the querying communication terminal then being provided with the data (D) relating to the user of the communication terminal which are connected with these information types (A1, A3).

2. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that

the data store (DS) is arranged at a network node (R) in a telecommunication network (KN) which connects the communication terminal (KEG2) and the querying communication terminal (KEG1).

3. The method as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that

the information about the group of communication subscribers (G3) with which the identifier (MSISDN) can be associated is stored in a store (DS) at the network node (R).

4. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that

provision of the data (D) relating to the user of the communication terminal involves these data (D) being read from a storage unit (DB) at the network node (R).

5. The method as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that

the network node used is a presence server (R).

6. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that

the output device used is a display unit (ANZ) on the communication terminal (KEG2).

7. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that

the input is accepted using a keypad (EE) on the communication terminal (KEG2).

8. The method as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that

the input provides the communication terminal (KEG2) with information (G4-I) about a new group of communication subscribers which is to be set up with which the identifier (MSISDN) can be associated.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8, characterized in that

the information (G4-I) about the new group which is to be set up also comprises the information types (A1, A2) which can be associated with this group.

10. The method as claimed in claim 8, characterized in that

the communication terminal (KEG2) transmits the information (G4 -I) about the new group which is to be set up and information about the association between the identifier (MSISDN) and the new group which is to be set up to the network node (R) in order to store this information there.
