Abstract

System and methods for providing calling party information are disclosed. In one implementation, a server for providing calling party information includes one or more processors configured to receive a query for calling party information from a carrier. The query includes an identifier associated with the calling party. The processors are further configured to determine a score based on one or more previously obtained queries, generate the calling party information based on the score, and transmit the calling party information to the carrier. The carrier transmits the calling party information to a device associated with the called party as a Caller ID Name (CNAM).

Claims (33)

1. A server for providing calling party information associated with a calling party, comprising:

one or more processors configured to:

receive a query for the calling party information from a carrier, the query including an identifier associated with the calling party;

determine a score based on one or more previously obtained queries regarding the calling party from one or more querying carriers;

generate the calling party information based on the score being below a predetermined threshold value; and

transmit the calling party information to the carrier, wherein the carrier transmits the calling party information to a device associated with a called party as a Caller ID Name (CNAM).

2. The server of claim 1 , wherein the identifier associated with the calling party is a telephone number associated with the calling party.

3. The server of claim 1 , wherein the score is indicative of a likelihood that a call from the calling party is a robocall, scam, or otherwise an undesirable call.

4. The server of claim 1 , wherein the calling party information is generated further based on a policy associated with a terminating carrier.

5. A method for providing calling party information associated with a calling party, comprising:

receiving a query for the calling party information from a carrier, the query including an identifier associated with the calling party;

determining a score based on one or more previously obtained queries regarding the calling party from one or more querying carriers;

generating the calling party information based on the score being below a predetermined threshold value; and

transmitting the calling party information to the carrier, wherein the carrier transmits the calling party information to a device associated with a called party as a Caller ID Name (CNAM).

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the identifier associated with the calling party is a telephone number associated with the calling party.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the score is indicative of a likelihood that a call from the calling party is a robocall, scam, or otherwise an undesirable call.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the calling party information is generated further based on a policy associated with a terminating carrier.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform a method for providing calling party information associated with a calling party, the method comprising:

receiving a query for the calling party information from a carrier, the query including an identifier associated with the calling party;

determining a score based on one or more previously obtained queries regarding the calling party from one or more querying carriers;

generating the calling party information based on the score being below a predetermined threshold value; and

transmitting the calling party information to the carrier, wherein the carrier transmits the calling party information to a device associated with a called party as a Caller ID Name (CNAM).

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the score is indicative of a likelihood that a call from the calling party is a robocall, scam, or otherwise an undesirable call.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the calling party information is generated further based on a policy associated with a terminating carrier.

12. The server of claim 1 , wherein the query includes a result of call verification obtained by the carrier, and the calling party information is generated further based on the result.

13. The server of claim 1 , wherein the query includes a result of call verification obtained by the carrier, and the score is determined further based on the result.

14. The server of claim 12 , wherein the result of the call verification is performed by a call authentication system connected to the carrier.

15. The method of claim 5 , wherein the query includes a result of call verification obtained by the carrier, and the calling party information is generated further based on the result.

16. The method of claim 5 , wherein the query includes a result of call verification obtained by the carrier, and the score is determined further based on the result.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the result of the call verification is performed by a call authentication system connected to the carrier.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the query includes a result of call verification obtained by the carrier, and the calling party information is generated further based on the result.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the query includes a result of call verification obtained by the carrier, and the score is determined further based on the result.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the result of the call verification is performed by a call authentication system connected to the carrier.
