Problems solved by technology

However these are incomplete, e.g. due to some users wanting to keep their identities private from appearing in public sources
And such central lookup services are illegal in some countries
Additionally, there may be fees associated with such a central lookup service
[0005] This means that a user may not be able to turn to such a central lookup service or be hesitant to get the information he / she wants

Embodiment Construction

[0086] figure 1 A first communication device 10 is shown communicating with second and third communication devices 12 , 14 via a wide area network N . Here the device is portable and the network is wireless, where the network can be a GSM network, WCDMA network or LTE network. It can be any wireless wide area network that allows data transmission. However, the present invention can be used in other types of networks than wireless networks, and thus can be used in connection with any type of wide area network.

[0087] figure 2 A front view of a portable communication device 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention is shown. This portable communication device 10 comprises the functionality provided for all portable communication devices according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, the device is a mobile phone 10 . The phone 10 has a display 18 , a user input unit in the form of a keypad 16 comprising a plurality of keys, a speaker 20 and a microph...

Abstract

According to the invention a first communication device (10) investigates if there is an entry of a contacting identifier received in the device in a contacts register. In case there is no such entry it locates, in the contacts register, communication devices (12, 14) in a set of communication devices providing a lookup service, which set includes at least one communication device and where at least one communication device is a personal communication device, sending a query regarding the contacting identifier to at least one second communication device (12) of the set. The second communication device (12) receives the query and investigates an own contacts register. In case the contacting identifier is provided in the own contacts register it further locates an identity associated with the contacting identifier and automatically sends data regarding the identity to the first communication device (10) as a response to the query.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of contact identification lookup services for communication devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method, communication device and computer program product for determining an identity associated with a contact identification received in a first communication device, and also to a method for assisting in determining an identity associated with a contact identification received in a first communication device. A method, personal communication device, and computer program product of a received contact identifying an associated identity. Background technique [0002] The contact identification used to communicate using the device can be of various types. They can be phone numbers, email addresses, and URIs and URLs. [0003] Users of communication devices may receive various types of messages and calls from other users, and typically display a contact identification in such communications. Howe...
