Abstract

A first login information for a first user is received. A first user profile associated with the first login information for the first user is received. A call from the first user placed to a second user is intercepted. If the first login information verifies the identity of the first user is determined. Responsive to determining the first login information verifies the first user, the first user profile is transmitted to the second user causing the call from the first user placed to the second user to be forwarded to the second user.

Claims

1-7. -7. (canceled)

8. A computer program product for providing a secure caller identification using a caller'"'"'s profile, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer readable storage media; and

program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to receive a first login information for a first user;

program instructions to receive a first user profile associated with the first login information for the first user;

program instructions to intercept a call from the first user placed to a second user;

program instructions to determine if the first login information verifies the first user; and

program instructions to, in response to determining the first login information verifies the first user, transmit the first user profile to the second user and cause the call from the first user placed to the second user to be forwarded to the second user.

9. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the program instructions to receive a first login information for a first user comprise:

program instructions to receive a login identification for the first user associated with a sign in category; and

program instructions to verify whether the received login identification matches a required login identification associated with the sign in category.

10. The computer program product of claim 9, wherein the sign in category is social network, existing account, biometric identification, or unique identification number.

11. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein program instructions to receive a first user profile associated with the first login information for the first user computer comprises:

program instructions to receive the first user profile associated with the sign in category.

12. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein the profile is received from at least one of:

a social network, a government database, or a profile database, wherein the profile database is prepopulated by the first user.

13. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein program instructions to transmit comprise:

program instructions to transmit the first user profile to the second user via a mobile network and causing the call from the first user placed to the second user to be forwarded to the second user via a mobile network.

14. The computer program product of claim 8, further comprising program instructions, stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, to:

cause the transmitted profile to be displayed to the second user; and

receive an indication whether the second user accepts the call.

15. A computer system for providing a secure caller identification using a caller'"'"'s profile, the computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

one or more computer readable storage media;

program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to receive a first login information for a first user;

program instructions to receive a first user profile associated with the first login information for the first user;

program instructions to intercept a call from the first user placed to a second user;

program instructions to determine if the first login information verifies the first user; and

program instructions to, in response to determining the first login information verifies the first user, transmit the first user profile to the second user and cause the call from the first user placed to the second user to be forwarded to the second user.

16. The computer system of claim 15, wherein the program instructions to receive a first login information for a first user comprise:

program instructions to receive a login identification for the first user associated with a sign in category; and

program instructions to verify whether the received login identification matches a required login identification associated with the sign in category.

17. The computer system of claim 16, wherein the sign in category is social network, existing account, biometric identification, or unique identification number.

18. The computer system of claim 17, wherein program instructions to receive a first user profile associated with the first login information for the first user computer comprises:

program instructions to receive the first user profile associated with the sign in category.

19. The computer system of claim 18, wherein the profile is received from at least one of:

a social network, a government database, or a profile database, wherein the profile database is prepopulated by the first user.

20. The computer system of claim 15, wherein program instructions to transmit comprise:

program instructions to transmit the first user profile to the second user via a mobile network and causing the call from the first user placed to the second user to be forwarded to the second user via a mobile network.
