IP-Enabled Caller Information Delivery System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a need for delivering wireless calling information, including caller names, to mobile devices, as the popularity of mobile devices increases, and existing systems do not effectively provide this service.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for IP-enabled information delivery that involves receiving caller information at an Internet protocol-enabled device, performing a lookup in a database via an IP connection, and determining if a software download is necessary based on the device type, allowing for the display of caller details such as names, addresses, and alerts on wireless devices like IP-enabled phones.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If wireless delivery of calling information is implemented, then user experience on mobile devices is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary system comprising a database server and software component that mediates between the traditional ANI system and wireless devices. The database server receives ANI data, stores it in a structured format, and provides it to wireless devices through software components, thereby simplifying the integration complexity while enabling wireless delivery of calling information.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal system that can deliver calling information to multiple types of devices (wireless phones, IP-enabled devices, mobile devices) through a common architecture. The database server and software components are designed to be device-agnostic, allowing the same system to serve various wireless platforms, thus improving ease of operation across different devices without proportionally increasing system complexity.
2Loss of information
If caller information is delivered to wireless devices, then information availability is improved, but data transmission requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential calling information (caller ID, name, and relevant alerts) from the complete ANI data set and stores it in a compact database format. By extracting and storing only the necessary information elements, the system improves information availability to wireless devices while minimizing the quantity of data that needs to be transmitted over wireless networks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary processing of calling information by pre-storing ANI data in the database server before it is needed by wireless devices. The information is prepared, formatted, and stored in advance, so when a wireless device requests calling information, the data is already available in a ready-to-transmit format, reducing the actual transmission burden during active use.
Data Source
AI summary
A method, system, and computer readable medium comprising instructions for providing Internet protocol enabled information delivery are provided. Information from a calling party is received at an Internet protocol enabled device. A lookup of information relating to the calling party is performed in a database via an Internet protocol connection. A message is received from the database comprising information relating to the calling party.
