Abstract
A method and system for providing computer-network related information about a calling party. First, the called party receives a telephone number of a calling party. The called party'"'"'s customer premises equipment (CPE) or elements in a telephone network then use the telephone number to index a database, which contains combinations of telephone numbers and computer-network addresses. Once the calling party'"'"'s computer-network address is retrieved, calling-party-customized information present at the computer-network location specified by the computer-network address can be sent to and displayed on the called party'"'"'s CPE. Also, the calling party'"'"'s telephone number can be sent to an application in the computer network, causing the calling-party-customized information to be automatically displayed on the called party'"'"'s CPE.
