System and method for displaying an identifier of a source on a recipient device
First Claim
1. A system for displaying an identifier of a source on a recipient device in communication with the source, the system comprising:
- an association database maintaining a network address book; and
a processing manager configured to compare a contact list of the source with a contact list of the recipient device on the network address book in order to determine whether the source is associated with the recipient device when the source initiates a communication to the recipient device,wherein if the source is associated with the recipient device, the processing manager controls to display an established identifier of the source on the recipient device, andwherein if the source is not associated with the recipient device, the system is operable to determine privacy settings of the recipient device, and if determined privacy settings of the recipient device allow the recipient device to accept a communication from outside the recipient device'"'"'s social network, the system is operable to determine how an identifier of the recipient device was derived on the source, and establish a route between the source and the recipient device based at least upon information associated with how the identifier of the recipient device was derived on the source.

24. A method for displaying an identifier of a source on a recipient device in communication with the source in a system, comprising:
-
initiating, by the source, a communication to the recipient device; comparing a contact list of the source with a contact list of the recipient device on a network address book; determining whether the source is associated with the recipient device; if the source is associated with the recipient device, displaying an established identifier of the source on the recipient device; and if the source is not associated with the recipient device, determining, by the system, privacy settings of the recipient device, and if determined privacy settings of the recipient device allow the recipient device to accept a communication from outside the recipient device'"'"'s social network, determining, by the system, how an identifier of the recipient device was derived on the source, and establishing, by the system, a route between the source and the recipient device based at least upon information associated with how the identifier of the recipient device was derived on the source. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A recipient device comprising a processing manager configured to process a communication from a source to the recipient device in a system;
-
the processing manager configured to access an association database maintaining a network address book, and to compare a contact list of the source with a contact list of the recipient device on the network address book in order to determine whether the source is associated with the recipient device when the source initiates a communication to the recipient device; wherein if the source is associated with the recipient device, the recipient device displays an established identifier of the source, and wherein if the source is not associated with the recipient device, the system is operable to determine privacy settings of the recipient device, and if determined privacy settings of the recipient device allow the recipient device to accept a communication from outside the recipient device'"'"'s social network, the system is operable to determine how an identifier of the recipient device was derived on the source, and establish a route between the source and the recipient device based at least upon information associated with how the identifier of the recipient device was derived on the source.
