Contextual Information
Methods, systems, and products provide contextual information for communications. A call, for example, is processed from an origination address to a destination address. A query is made for a brand of device associated with the origination address making the call. The brand of device is announced during the call.
1 . A method, comprising:
processing a call from an origination address to a destination address;
retrieving from memory a brand of device associated with the origination address making the call; and
announcing the brand of device during the call.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising querying the memory for the brand of device.
3 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising retrieving a profile associated with the destination address.
4 . The method according to claim 3 , further comprising querying the profile for the brand of device.
5 . The method according to claim 4 , further comprising determining the profile lacks the brand of device.
6 . The method according to claim 5 , further comprising determining an alternate communications path when the profile lacks the brand of device.
7 . The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:
retrieving advertising associated with the brand of device; and
playing the advertising during the call.
8 . A system, comprising:
a processor; and
memory for storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
processing a call from an origination address to a destination address;
retrieving a brand of device associated with the origination address making the call; and
announcing the brand of device during the call.
9 . The system according to claim 8 , wherein the code further causes the processor to query for the brand of device.
10 . The system according to claim 8 , wherein the code further causes the processor to retrieve a profile associated with the destination address.
11 . The system according to claim 8 , wherein the code further causes the processor to query the profile for the brand of device.
12 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the code further causes the processor to determine the profile lacks the brand of device.
13 . The system according to claim 12 , wherein the code further causes the processor to determine an alternate communications path when the profile lacks the brand of device.
14 . The system according to claim 12 , wherein the code further causes the processor to:
retrieve advertising associated with the brand of device; and
play the advertising during the call.
15 . A computer readable memory storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
processing a call from an origination address to a destination address;
retrieving a brand of device associated with the origination address making the call; and
announcing the brand of device during the call.
16 . The computer readable memory according to claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to query for the brand of device.
17 . The computer readable memory according to claim 15 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to retrieve a profile associated with the destination address.
18 . The computer readable memory according to claim 17 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to query the profile for the brand of device.
19 . The computer readable memory according to claim 18 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to determine the profile lacks the brand of device.
20 . The computer readable memory according to claim 19 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
retrieve advertising associated with the brand of device; and
play the advertising during the call.
