Abstract

One example method of operation may include identifying a call originated from a caller entity destined for a called entity at a call content server, identifying a called number associated with the called entity and a caller number associated with the caller entity, comparing a telephone number prefix associated with the called number with a number of enhanced call content data elements to identify a match, selecting one or more of the enhanced call content data elements to pair with the called number based on the match, and forwarding the selected enhanced call content data elements to the called entity.

Claims (31)

1. A method comprising:

comparing a first telephone number prefix associated with a called number with a plurality of enhanced call content data elements associated with the first telephone number prefix to identify a match, wherein the first telephone number prefix of the called number is assigned to a fewer number of enhanced call content data elements than a number of enhanced call content data elements assigned to a second telephone number prefix stored in a database;

selecting one or more of the plurality of enhanced call content data elements to pair with the called number based on the match; and

forwarding the one or more of the enhanced call content data elements that were selected to a called entity.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second telephone number prefix is assigned to a different caller ID display name (CNAM) than a CNAM assigned to the first telephone number prefix.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the comparing the first telephone number prefix associated with the called number with the plurality of enhanced call content data elements to identify the match yields no match, selecting one or more default enhanced call content data elements.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more default enhanced call content data elements are paired with the called number based on the no match.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying a call originated from a caller entity destined for the called entity at a call content server.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying the called number comprising the first telephone number prefix associated with the called entity.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the caller number is associated with a caller entity.

8. An apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

compare a first telephone number prefix associated with a called number with a plurality of enhanced call content data elements associated with the telephone number prefix to identify a match, wherein the first telephone number prefix of the called number is assigned to a fewer number of enhanced call content data elements than a number of enhanced call content data elements assigned to a second telephone number prefix stored in a database;

select one or more of the plurality of enhanced call content data elements to pair with the called number based on the match; and

forward the one or more of the plurality of enhanced call content data elements to the called entity.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the second telephone number prefix is assigned to a different caller ID display name (CNAM) than a CNAM assigned to the first telephone number prefix.

10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein when the comparison of the first telephone number prefix associated with the called number with the plurality of enhanced call content data elements to identify the match yields no match, select one or more default enhanced call content data elements.

11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the one or more default enhanced call content data elements are paired with the called number based on the no match.

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

comparing a first telephone number prefix associated with a called number with a plurality of enhanced call content data elements associated with the telephone number prefix to identify a match, wherein the first telephone number prefix of the called number is assigned to a fewer number of enhanced call content data elements than a number of enhanced call content data elements assigned to a second telephone number prefix stored in a database;

selecting one or more of the plurality of enhanced call content data elements to pair with the called number based on the match; and

forwarding the one or more of the plurality of enhanced call content data elements to the called entity.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the second telephone number prefix is assigned to a different caller ID display name (CNAM) than a CNAM assigned to the first telephone number prefix.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein when the comparing the first telephone number prefix associated with the called number with the plurality of enhanced call content data elements to identify the match yields no match, selecting one or more default enhanced call content data elements.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the one or more default enhanced call content data elements are paired with the called number based on the no match.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

identifying the called number comprising the first telephone number prefix associated with the called entity and a caller number associated with a caller entity.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

identifying the called number comprising the first telephone number prefix associated with the called entity and a caller number associated with a caller entity.
