S1002. The call server receives the caller identity information from the calling phone, where the caller identity information may be a caller name or a caller ID number;

S1004-1. The calling server forwards the calling name information to the called phone; or,

S1004-2. The call server searches for the name information corresponding to the calling user according to the calling identity number, and sends the found calling name information to the called phone.

Wherein, the call server may be a telephone exchange, a softswitch server, etc.; the execution of step S1004-1 or S1004-2 depends on the content of the caller identity information sent by the calling phone to the call server, and the caller identity information may directly include the caller Information such as the user's name may also be the identification number registered by the calling user on the calling server.

If the calling phone directly sends the name information, the name information is stored on the phone or in a server device of the home network where the phone is located, and the name information is configured in advance by the user or the service provider. If the information such as the user name is sent in step 5, the format of the sent information can be "*33 Mr. Martin*", where "33" is the function code, and "Mr. Martin" is the user name information displayed on the called phone , the calling server forwards this message to the called phone after receiving it.

If the calling phone sends an identification number, the user provides one or more self-defined name information and registers with the service provider in advance, and the identification number corresponding to the name information can be specified by the user or the service provider. A phone number corresponds to one or more identification numbers, and for multiple identification numbers in a phone number, each identification number corresponds to different name information, and the service provider stores the user's phone number, identification number, name and other information are stored in the user information database of the central office. At this time, the format of the calling user identity information sent by the calling phone may be "*331*", wherein "33" is a function code, and "1" is a user identification number.

If the identification number is sent in step 5, the call server searches the user information database for the corresponding user name and other information according to the calling number and the identification number. For example, according to the identification number 1, it can be found that the corresponding user is "Mr. Number 2 corresponds to "Mrs. Martin" and so on. If it cannot be found, a prompt message is returned to the calling party.

Eleventh embodiment

Referring to Figure 11, this embodiment is an extension based on the tenth embodiment, further comprising:

S1102. The call server verifies whether the calling number has registered for the service of pushing caller information, and if so, continues the business process; if not, refuses to push the information sent by the calling phone, and can send back prompt information at the same time, and the specific content is determined by the service provider custom made;

S1104, judging whether the caller identity information is a name or an identification number, if it is an identification number, then go to S1106, if it is name information, then go to S1108;

S1106, search for the calling name according to the identification number; turn to S1110;

S1108. Temporarily store the calling name information, and send it to the called phone at a subsequent appropriate time;

S1110, judging whether the name information is found, and if so, turn to 1108; if not, then refuse to push the information sent by the calling phone;

S1112, the call server verifies whether the called number has registered the service of displaying the calling information, if yes, then sends the calling name information to the called phone; if not, rejects the further calling information push service, and returns a prompt Information, specifically customized by the service provider.

Step S1112 can be flexibly set between the above other steps according to actual needs, so it is not marked in FIG. 11 .

Twelfth embodiment

This embodiment is an extension based on the tenth embodiment, and further includes a step of activating user information at the user end:

S1202. The calling user activates the calling identity information through the phone. This step may be before "the calling user picks up the phone and dials the other party's phone number", or after "the calling user picks up the phone and dials the other party's phone number". Specifically, it may be :

The caller activates his or her identity information by pressing a key on the phone; or,

The calling user activates his identity information by collecting the face image of the calling user through the camera on the phone; or,

The calling user collects the fingerprint of the calling user through the fingerprint collection unit on the phone to activate its identity information; or,

The calling user activates his identity information by inputting the voice of the calling user through the voice input unit; or,

The calling user activates his identity information by inducting the RF card through the RF card reading device on the phone.

For comprehensive embodiments ten to twelve, refer to FIG. 12 for the call flow chart (the dotted line box indicates that the sequence can be adjusted). The calling user directly pushes the name information; the calling user can activate his identity information after off-hook to make a call, and at this time the calling phone can send the caller identity information to the call server after sending the calling phone number. Delay time, after a certain period of time after making a call, it is considered invalid to activate the caller ID information, because at this time the call server may no longer be able to send the caller name information to the called phone. If the calling user activates his own identity information before off-hook, the phone will send the caller's identity information, namely A1, B1, and C1, to the call server after the phone is off-hook. The user can also activate the caller identity information after off-hook before dialing, that is, A2, B2, and C2. The caller identity information and the called number can be sent to the call server together, or can be sent to the call server separately, for example, the called number is sent after step B1 or B2 in FIG. 12 . Sending the called number in step 6 in Figure 12 may be a multi-step process or it may be completed in one step. For example, in the PSTN system, the phone will send a signal when pressing a key, while in the VoIP phone system, the IP phone may collect all the numbers. Then send it out together.

Referring to Fig. 13 (the dotted line box indicates that the order can be adjusted), the calling user pushes the identification code, and the call server can immediately search for the calling name information after receiving the calling user identification number, or it can be delayed until the notification is received. Search again before calling the phone to ring.

The caller identity information and the called number can be sent to the call server together, or can be sent to the call server separately.

If the calling server cannot find the registered name information corresponding to the calling user's identification number, a prompt message is sent back to the calling phone.
