Communicaton system
First Claim
1. A method of receiving a communication event from a calling entity located in a communication system 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 (i) the second identity of the calling entity received at said node, and (ii) the second identity of the user with which the communication event is addressed, 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 determined first identity for the calling entity via the first network, wherein the communication event is addressed with the determined first identity of the user; and
determining the second identity of the calling entity at the receiving device associated with the user using said received first identity for the calling entity and said provided first and second identities for the calling entity.

Abstract
A data store associates a first identity recognizable in a first network with a second identity recognizable in a second network for both a user and a calling entity. Both identities for the calling entity are provided to the receiving device via the second network. A node receives the communication event with the second identity for the calling entity, the communication event being addressed with the second identity of the user. The data store is queried with the second identities of the calling entity and user to determine the first identities of the calling entity and user. The receiving device receives the communication event with the first identity for the calling entity via the first network, the communication event being addressed with the first identity of the user. The receiving device determines the second identity of the calling entity using the first identity of the calling entity.

1. A method of receiving a communication event from a calling entity located in a communication system 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 (i) the second identity of the calling entity received at said node, and (ii) the second identity of the user with which the communication event is addressed, 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 determined first identity for the calling entity via the first network, wherein the communication event is addressed with the determined first identity of the user; and determining the second identity of the calling entity at the receiving device associated with the user using said received first identity for the calling entity and said provided first and second identities for 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 system from a calling entity, said communication system 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; transmit the first and second identities for the calling entity to a receiving device associated with the user via the second network; 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; and determine the first identity of the calling entity and the first identity of the user using;
(i) the received second identity of the calling entity, and (ii) the second identity of the user with which the communication event is addressed;wherein the communication instance is further arranged to transmit the communication event together with the determined first identity for the calling entity to the receiving device via the first network using the determined 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 (i) the first identity of the calling entity received with the communication event, and (ii) said received first and second identities for the calling entity. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
