Abstract

A system (20) for providing a caller identification with name service includes a destination service switching point (22) having a plurality of destination numbers (24). A switching control point (26) has a caller identification with name database (30) and a customer caller identification with name database (32). A signaling system seven link (28) connects the destination service switching point (22) to the switching control point (26).

Claims

1. A system for providing a caller identification with name service, comprising:

a destination service switching point having a plurality of destination numbers and trigger on a destination number;

a switching control point having a caller identification with name database and a custom caller identification with name database, determining if an originating number and the destination number a same centrex group; and

a signaling system seven link connecting the destination service switching point to the switching control point.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the custom caller identification with name database includes a plurality of partitions.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the plurality of partitions each define a customer group.

4. The system of claim 1, further including a services database in communication with the switching control point.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the services database includes an entry for a custom caller identification with name service.

6. A method of providing a caller identification with name service, comprising the steps of:

(a) receiving a call at a terminating service switching point to a terminating directory number;

(b) triggering based on the terminating directory number at the terminating service switching point and sending a query to switching control point;

(c) determining if the terminating directory number has a custom caller identification with name subscription;

(d) when the terminating directory number has the custom caller identification with name subscription, and the terminating directory number and an originating directory number belong to a same customer group, performing a lookup; and

(e) forwarding a caller name to a destination telephone.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the step (c) includes the step of:

(i) determining the customer group based on the destination telephone number.

8. A system for providing a caller identification with name service, comprising:

a destination service switching point having a plurality of destination numbers and trigger on a destination number;

a switching control point in communication with the destination service switching point determining if the destination number and the originating number are part of a customer group;

a caller identification with name database connected to the switching control point;

a custom caller identification with name database connected to the switching control point; and

a service database connected to the switching control point having an entry for a custom caller identification with name subscription.
