Method for advanced determination and display of caller geographic information in a centralized wireless architecture
View Patent ↗An improved decoding, processing and delivery system for a centralized wireless architecture is provided for advanced determination and display of geographic information relating to a call origination party. The improved system comprises a receiving device to receive the calling number delivery (CND) message from a mobile station switching center; a central data server for storage and retrieval of specific data from a library for selectively determining the corresponding geographic information of the call origination party; a transmission device for sending data from the server; a receiving device in a wireless handset; and a readout device for displaying the geographic information of the incoming call. Accordingly, the improved system provides the user with convenient and efficient display of geographic information related to caller identification that is capable of determining an ever-increasing number of area code and local telephone exchange number.
1. An improved decoding and processing system for advanced determination and display of geographic information of a call origination party, said system comprising:
a) a mobile switching center having means for receiving a CND message from a call origination party, said message containing call identification data from a signal derived from communication network;
b) server means for storage and retrieval of specific data from a data base library for selectively determining the corresponding geographic information of said CND message received from the call origination party;
c) means for wireless transmission of said corresponding geographic information for reception by a mobile handset; and
d) a readout device for displaying the geographic information of the call origination party.
2. The improved system of claim 1 wherein the corresponding geographic information is a city identification of the call origination party.
3. The improved system of claim 1 wherein the corresponding geographic information in a state identification of the call origination party.
4. The improved system of claim 1 wherein the corresponding geographic information in a country identification of the call origination party.
5. The improved system of claim 1 wherein the corresponding geographic information in a province identification of the call origination party.
6. The improved system of claim 1 wherein the corresponding geographic information is displayed pictorially.
7. The improved system of claim 1 wherein the communication network is PSTN.
8. The improved system of claim 1 wherein the communication network is an intra-network.
9. The improved system of claim 1 wherein the standard data field is a data field for a dialed number.
10. The improved system of claim 1 wherein the call data character stream replaces the contents of the standard data field.
11. The improved system of claim 1 wherein the call data character stream references information stored in a database.
12. The improved system of claim 1 wherein the call data character stream is used to process the voice path of the telephone call.
