Method for presenting additional information about a telecommunication user
First Claim
1. A method for receiving additional information about a user at a communication device, the method comprising:
- identifying, at a telecommunication component, the user using a caller ID, the user being a calling party in a telecommunication call;
constructing, at a request component, a request for information about the user in addition to the information contained in the caller ID;
sending the request to a repository of additional information;
receiving, responsive to the request, additional information about the user from the repository;
displaying, at an information display component, the additional information;
determining by the telecommunication device whether a part of the received additional information is static information, wherein static information is information about a party that does not change over a period of time, or dynamic information, wherein dynamic information is information about a party that changes from one call to the next; and
in response to determining that a part of the received additional information is static information, storing the additional static information at the communication device.

Abstract
A method and system for presenting additional information about a user are provided. The user may be a calling party or a called party. A request for information in addition to the information normally contained in the caller ID may be constructed and sent to a repository of additional information that returns the additional information. If the user is a calling party, the additional information may be presented on the called party'"'"'s communication device. If the user is a called party, the additional information may be presented on the calling party'"'"'s communication device. A system including the repository may receive the request. An authoring and editing component of the system may allow the user or others to edit the additional information about the user. The system may select and send the additional information based on a set of parameters in the request and the access type of the requestor.

19. A system for providing additional information about a user to a communication device, comprising:
-
a communication component configured to receive a request sent from a communication device by a requester for the additional information about the user, wherein the additional information is information in addition to a user ID; an authoring and editing component configured to receive instructions from the requester for editing the additional information about the user; and an authentication and access control component configured to determine an access type of the requestor, the system configured to select the additional information based on a set of parameters in the request and the access type, and further configured to send the selected additional information in a response to the communication device for display thereon; an information display component configured to display the selected additional information, and to determine whether a part of the additional information is static information, wherein static information is information about a party that does not change over a period of time, or dynamic information, wherein dynamic information is information about a party that changes from one call to the next; and a memory at the communication device configured to store static additional information in response to determining that a part of the received additional information is static. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
