Abstract

A caller identification service providing system including: a biz lettering database recording identification information with respect to at least one originating terminal belonging to a subscriber and predetermined multimedia data registered by the subscriber; and a biz lettering server receiving a call request signal from the at least one originating terminal, reading the multimedia data corresponding to the identification information of the at least one originating terminal from the biz lettering database, and transmitting the call request signal including the read multimedia data to a terminating terminal.

Claims

1. A caller identification service providing system comprising:

a biz lettering database recording identification information with respect to at least one originating terminal belonging to a subscriber and predetermined multimedia data registered by the subscriber; and

a biz lettering server receiving a call request signal from the at least one originating terminal, reading the multimedia data corresponding to the identification information of the originating terminal from the biz lettering database, and transmitting the call request signal including the read multimedia data to a terminating terminal.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the originating terminal transmits the call request signal via a private branch exchange (PBX).

3. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the biz lettering database further records a callback number with respect to the originating terminal; and

the biz lettering server extracts the callback number corresponding to the originating terminal from the biz lettering database and transmits the call request signal including the read callback number to the terminating terminal; and

the terminating terminal receives the call request signal, displays the multimedia data on a predetermined display unit, and transmits a call request to the callback number included in the call request signal when a request of calling the originating terminal back is inputted from a user of the terminating terminal.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the biz lettering server inserts the callback number in a caller identification area of the call request signal.

5. The system of claim 3, wherein the biz lettering server comprises:

a communication unit receiving the call request signal from the originating terminal belonging to the subscriber;

a callback lettering read unit reading the callback number and multimedia data corresponding to the identification information of the originating terminal from the biz lettering database;

a callback lettering insertion unit inserting the callback number and multimedia data in the caller identification area of the call request signal; and

a transmission control unit transmitting the call request signal including the callback number and multimedia data to the terminating terminal via the communication unit.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein:

the callback number insertion unit inserts the callback number in the multimedia data; and

the terminating terminal displays the multimedia data and the callback signal on the predetermined display unit.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the biz lettering database further records a callback number with respect to the originating terminal; and

the biz lettering server extracts the callback number corresponding to the identification information of the originating terminal from the biz lettering database and controls call connection to the callback number to be performed, when receiving the callback request signal transmitted as the identification information of the originating terminal from the terminating terminal.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the biz lettering server comprises:

a communication unit receiving the call request signal from the originating terminal belonging to the subscriber;

a data read unit reading the multimedia data corresponding to the identification information of the originating terminal from the biz lettering database;

a data insertion unit inserting the multimedia into a caller identification area of the call request signal; and

a transmission control unit transmitting the call request signal to the terminating terminal via the communication unit,

wherein, when receiving the callback request signal from the terminating terminal via the communication unit, the data read unit reading the callback number corresponding to the identification information of the originating terminal from the biz lettering database and controlling a call connection to the callback number to be performed.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein:

the data read unit extracts the callback number corresponding to the identification information of the originating terminal from the biz lettering database;

the data insertion unit inserts the callback number in the multimedia data; and

the terminating terminal displays the multimedia data and the callback number on the predetermined display unit.

10. A caller identification service providing method comprising:

receiving identification information and multimedia data with respect to at least one originating terminal from a subscriber via a predetermined communication network;

recording the identification information and the multimedia data in a biz lettering database;

receiving a call request signal with respect to a terminating terminal from the at least one originating terminal;

reading the multimedia data corresponding to the identification information of the originating terminal from the biz lettering database;

inserting the multimedia data in the call request signal; and

transmitting the call request signal to the terminating terminal.

11. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

receiving and recording a callback number with respect to the originating terminal from the subscriber in the biz lettering database;

reading the callback number corresponding to the identification information of the originating terminal from the biz lettering database; and

inserting the callback number in the call request signal,

wherein the terminating terminal receives the call request signal, displays the multimedia data on a predetermined display unit, and controls a call connection to the callback number to be performed when receiving a request of calling the originating terminal back which is inputted from a user of the terminating terminal.

12. The method of claim 11, further comprising inserting the callback number in the multimedia data.

13. The method of claim 10, further comprising:

receiving and recording a callback number with respect to the originating terminal from the subscriber in the biz lettering database;

receiving a callback request signal with respect to the call request signal from the terminating terminal;

reading the callback number corresponding to the identification information of the originating terminal from the biz lettering database; and

controlling a call connection to the callback number to be performed.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

reading the callback number with respect to the originating terminal from the biz lettering database; and

inserting the callback number in the multimedia data.

15. A computer-readable recording medium comprising program code for causing a computer to perform a method comprising:

receiving identification information and multimedia data with respect to at least one originating terminal from a subscriber via a predetermined communication network;

recording the identification information and the multimedia data in a biz lettering database;

receiving a call request signal with respect to a terminating terminal from the at least one originating terminal;

reading the multimedia data corresponding to the identification information of the originating terminal from the biz lettering database;

inserting the multimedia data in the call request signal; and

transmitting the call request signal to the terminating terminal.
