Abstract

The present disclosure describes a system, method, and computer readable medium for providing information to a receiving party in a communications network. The method includes receiving a message from a sending party and performing a lookup of information relating to the sending party in a database via an Internet Protocol connection. The lookup is based on an identifier of at least one of the sending party and the receiving party. Subsequently, the information is provided to the receiving party based on the availability of the information in the database.

Claims (59)

1. A method, comprising:

determining a time duration between a received message from a sending party and a previous message received from the sending party; and

providing, to a receiving party, information relating to the sending party based on an availability of the information in a database and if the time duration is more than a predefined time duration.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

looking up the information relating to the sending party in the database based on an identifier of at least one of the sending party and the receiving party.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the looking up further comprises:

sending a query with the identifier to the database;

determining if the identifier is located in the database; and

receiving information associated with the sending party if the identifier is located in the database.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving a message from the sending party, wherein the receiving a message further comprises:

receiving the identifier of at least one of the sending party and the receiving party.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether the message is received after a reboot; and

providing the information to the receiving party if the message is received after the reboot.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing the information comprises:

displaying the information on a device of the receiving party.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the providing the information comprises:

playing an audio of the information on a device of the receiving party.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing the information in a message database; and

removing duplicate information from the message database.

9. The method of claim 8 further comprising:

performing a lookup of information relating to the sending party in the message database via an Internet Protocol connection, the lookup is based on an identifier of at least one of the sending party and the receiving party; and

providing the information to the receiving party based on the availability of the information in the message database.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises:

at least one of a text message and a multimedia message.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information relating to the sending party comprises at least one of:

a telephone number of the sending party, a name, a city, a state, an address, a photo, a video, a text, a hyperlink, and any other information that can be sent via an Internet protocol connection.

12. A system, comprising:

at least one device; and

at least one database that stores information associated with a sending party,

wherein the at least one device is operable to:

determine a time duration between a received message from the sending party and a previous message received from the sending party, and

provide, to a receiving party, information relating to the sending party based on an availability of the information in a database and if the time duration is more than a predefined time duration.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one device is operable to:

lookup the information based on an identifier of at least one of the sending party and the receiving party.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein, when the at least one device is to lookup the information, the at least one device is further operable to:

send a query with the identifier to the database;

determine if the identifier is located in the database; and

receive information associated with the sending party if the identifier is located in the database.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one device is operable to:

determine whether the message is received after a reboot; and

provide the information to the receiving party if the message is received after the reboot.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one device is operable to:

store the information in a message database; and

remove duplicate information from the message database.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the at least one device is operable to:

perform a lookup of information relating to the sending party in the message database via an Internet Protocol connection, the lookup is based on an identifier of at least one of the sending party and the receiving party; and

provide the information to the receiving party based on the availability of the information in the message database.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform:

determining a time duration between a received message from a sending party and a previous message received from the sending party; and

providing, to a receiving party, information relating to the sending party based on an availability of the information in a database and if the time duration is more than a predefined time duration.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , further comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform:

storing the information in a message database; and

removing duplicate information from the message database.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , further comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to perform:

performing a lookup of information relating to the sending party in the message database via an Internet Protocol connection, the lookup is based on an identifier of at least one of the sending party and the receiving party; and

providing the information to the receiving party based on the availability of the information in the message database.
