Patent

CA 2239743

During the occurrence of an incoming call to a portable handset within an in building telephone system, a method is disclosed for providing additional information about the calling party, beyond simply their name or number, to a display on the handset. The name or number of the calling party is extracted by a central switching controller and is used as a reference in the look up of additional calling party attributes from a database located within a personal computer connected to the central switching controller. If the name or number of the calling party is found in the database, a data session is started between the called handset and the database. Following the starting of the data session, the first attribute in the database for the calling party is written to the display of the called handset and additional attributes are offered to the user. The incoming voice call is also offered to the display and a call acceptance signal from the called handset results in the establishing of a voice communication connection between the handset and the calling party. The offering of additional attributes for the calling party continues after the establishing of the voice communication connection between the called handset and the calling party.
