Communicaton system
First Claim
1. A method of receiving a communication event from a calling entity located in a communication network comprising a first network and a second network, at a receiving device associated with a user located in the communication system, the method comprising:
- associating a first identity recognisable in the first network with a second identity recognisable in the second network for both the user and the calling entity at a data store located in the second network;
providing the first and second identities for the calling entity to the receiving device via the second network;
receiving at a node in the second network associated with the user, the communication event together with the second identity for the calling entity via the second network, wherein the communication event is addressed with the second identity of the user;
querying the data store with the second identity of the calling entity and the second identity of the user to determine the first identity of the calling entity and the first identity of the user;
receiving at the receiving device associated with the user the communication event together with the first identity for the calling entity via the first network, wherein the communication event is addressed with the first identity of the user; and
determining the second identity of the calling entity at the receiving device associated with the user using the first identity of the calling entity.

Abstract
A method of receiving a communication event from a calling entity located in a communication network comprising a first network and a second network, at a receiving device associated with a user located in the communication system, said method comprising associating a first identity recognisable in the first network with a second identity recognisable in the second network for both the user and the calling entity at a data store located in the second network; providing the first and second identities for the calling entity to the receiving device via the second network; receiving at a node in the second network associated with the user, the communication event together with the second identity for the calling entity via the second network, wherein the communication event is addressed with the second identity of the user; querying the data store with the second identity of the calling entity and the second identity of the user to determine the first identity of the calling entity and the first identity of the user; receiving at the receiving device associated with the user the communication event together with the first identity for the calling entity via the first network, wherein the communication event is addressed with the first identity of the user; and determining the second identity of the calling entity at the receiving device associated with the user using the first identity of the calling entity.

1. A method of receiving a communication event from a calling entity located in a communication network comprising a first network and a second network, at a receiving device associated with a user located in the communication system, the method comprising:
-
associating a first identity recognisable in the first network with a second identity recognisable in the second network for both the user and the calling entity at a data store located in the second network; providing the first and second identities for the calling entity to the receiving device via the second network; receiving at a node in the second network associated with the user, the communication event together with the second identity for the calling entity via the second network, wherein the communication event is addressed with the second identity of the user; querying the data store with the second identity of the calling entity and the second identity of the user to determine the first identity of the calling entity and the first identity of the user; receiving at the receiving device associated with the user the communication event together with the first identity for the calling entity via the first network, wherein the communication event is addressed with the first identity of the user; and determining the second identity of the calling entity at the receiving device associated with the user using the first identity of the calling entity. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A network node for receiving a communication event for a user of a communication network from a calling entity, said communication network comprising a first network and a second network, said network node executing a communication instance arranged to store a first identity recognisable in the first network in association with a second identity recognisable in the second network for both the user and the calling entity;
-
to transmit the first and second identities for the calling entity to a receiving device associated with the user via the second network; to receive the communication event together with the second identity for the calling entity via the second network, wherein the communication event is addressed with the second identity of the user; to determine the first identity of the calling entity and the first identity of the user using the second identity of the calling entity and the second identity of the user; wherein the communication instance is further arranged to transmit the communication event together with the first identity for the calling entity to the receiving device via the first network using the first identity of the user such that the receiving device may determine the second identity of the calling entity using the first identity of the calling device.

18. A receiving device arranged to receive a communication event from a calling entity via a communication system comprising a first network and a second network, the receiving device comprising:
-
a processor executing a client program arranged to receive a first identity recognisable in the first network and a second identity recognisable in the second network for the calling entity; a receiver arranged to receive a communication event together with the first identity of the calling entity via the first network; wherein the client program is further arranged to determine the second identity of the calling entity using the first identity. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
