Abstract

Enhanced data sharing from the enterprise to end users involves receiving a data sharing command on an administrative control panel. The data sharing command has a selection of content, identity information of a communication session initiator, and identity information of a communication session recipient. A submission request, which includes the content and identity information of the initiator is transmitted to a computing device associated with the recipient. Local records on the recipient computing device are updatable with the received visual content and the identity information of the initiator. This data is presentable to the recipient upon an incoming communications session request.

Claims (35)

1. A non-transitory program storage medium on which are stored instructions executable by a processor or programmable circuit to perform operations for enhancing data sharing, the operations comprising:

receiving, on an administrative control panel, a data sharing command including a selection of content, identity information of a communication session initiator, and identity information of a communication session recipient; and

transmitting to a computing device associated with the selected communication session recipient, a submission request in response and corresponding to the data sharing command, the submission request including the visual content and the identity information of the communication session initiator;

wherein in response to a receipt of the submission request, local records on the computing device associated with the selected communication session recipient are updatable with the received content and the identity information of the communication session initiator for presentation to the communication session recipient upon an incoming communications session request;

wherein the data sharing command further includes a selection of one or more geographical regions to which the communication session recipient is associated.

2. The non-transitory program storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the computing device associated with the selected communication session recipient is a mobile device.

3. The non-transitory program storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the content is selected from a group consisting of: an image, a video sequence, an audio sequence, and an interactive sequence.

4. The non-transitory program storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the communication session is selected from a group consisting of: a telephone call, a message, a short message service (SMS) text message, and a notification.

5. The non-transitory program storage medium of claim 4 , wherein the identity information of a communication session initiator is a telephone number associated therewith.

6. The non-transitory program storage medium of claim 4 , wherein the identity information of a communication session initiator is text descriptor thereof.

7. A method for enhanced enterprise data sharing to end users, comprising:

receiving, on a control panel for an enterprise data sharing administration system, a data sharing command including a selection of content, identity information of a communication session initiator, and identity information of a communication session recipient;

transmitting from the enterprise data sharing administration system to a computing device associated with the selected communication session recipient a submission request in response and corresponding to the data sharing command, the submission request including the content and the identity information of the communication session initiator;

updating local records on the computing device associated with the selected communication session recipient with the received content and the identity information of the communication session initiator;

initiating the communication session from the communication session initiator to the communication session recipient; and

presenting the updated content and the identity information of the communication session initiator in response to the initiated communication session;

wherein the data sharing command further includes a designation of one or more geographical regions to which the communication session recipient is associated.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the computing device associated with the selected communication session recipient is a mobile device.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the computing device associated with the selected communication session recipient includes an application that communicates with the enterprise data sharing administration system through an application programming interface to receive the visual content and the identity information of the communication session initiator.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the local records on the computing device associated with the selected communication session recipient is a native contact list of the mobile device.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the communication session is selected from a group consisting of: a telephone call, a message, a short message service (SMS) text message, and a notification.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the content is selected from a group consisting of: an image, a video sequence, an audio sequence, and interactive sequence.

13. A non-transitory program storage medium on which are stored instructions executable by a processor or programmable circuit to perform operations for enhancing data sharing, the operations comprising:

receiving, on a computing device associated with a communication session recipient, a submission request corresponding to a data sharing command and including content and identity information of a communication session initiator;

updating a local record on the computing device associated with the communication session initiator with the received submission request;

receiving an incoming request to initiate a communication session from the communication session initiator independently of receiving the submission request; and

presenting the content and the identity information as updated in the local record on the computing device associated with the communication session recipient;

wherein the data sharing command further includes a selection of one or more geographical regions to which the communication session recipient is associated.

14. The non-transitory program storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the content is selected from a group consisting of: an image, a video sequence, an audio sequence, and an interactive sequence.

15. The non-transitory program storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the communication session is selected from a group consisting of: a telephone call, a message, a short message service (SMS) text message, and a notification.

16. The non-transitory program storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the computing device associated with the communication session recipient has an application being executed thereon in communication with an enterprise data sharing administration system from which the submission request originates over a data exchange independent of the communication session.

17. The non-transitory program storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the local record is updated by the application on the computing device.

18. The non-transitory program storage medium of claim 16 , the operations further comprising:

generating an alert on the computing device associated with the communication session recipient in response to updating the local record.

19. The non-transitory program storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the computing device associated with the communication session recipient is a mobile device, the local record being an entry in a native contact list of the mobile device.
