Description

Caller information providing system, caller information server and its sender information transmission method, caller information display support server and display support method, communication terminal and its display method {Calling Information System, Server and Transmitting Method, Display Supporting Server and Method, Communication Terminal and Displaying Method}

The present invention relates to a caller information providing system, a caller information server and a caller information transmission method, a caller information display support server and a display support method, a communication terminal and the display method, and more particularly, a call connection request signal from a caller is Even if it is not received, the user can check and know the existence of caller information for the acquaintances and the corresponding caller information in advance, so that when receiving a call connection request signal from the acquaintances, the acquaintance is intuitively based on the caller information displayed together. The present invention relates to a caller information providing system, a caller information server and a caller information transmission method, a caller information display support server, a display support method, a communication terminal, and a display method thereof.

In general, due to the innovative development of mobile communication technology, users are increasing their use of mobile phones. In line with this, mobile service providers develop and launch various additional services in addition to calling functions to provide higher quality services to users. have.

Representative value-added services launched by mobile operators include a Calling Number Identity Presentation (CNIP) service and a Calling NAme (CNAP) service.

The above-described CNIP service is a general caller ID display service, and it is impossible to set an arbitrary caller, and simply displays a phone number or, if the corresponding number is stored in an address book of a receiving terminal, displays the caller's name.

In addition, the above-described CNAP service displays the information of the caller on the screen of the receiver (or called party) by transmitting information including his name, logo, and image stored in the server by the voice caller in the call message. Service.

In general, the CNAP service allows the voice caller to set information about himself or herself using multimedia contents such as images and videos. However, since the capacity can be somewhat large, the CNAP service uses CNAP to set the caller information set by the caller to reduce the burden on the network. When storing in the service server and transmitting the call connection request signal of the caller to the called party, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) corresponding to the location where the calling party information is stored is transmitted to the called party or a flag indicating whether caller information exists. The sender information is sent to the called party upon request of the called party.

However, as described above, the method of transmitting the caller information to the called party can check the calling party information only when the called party receives the call connection request signal from the caller, and before the call connection request signal is received from the caller, Since it is difficult to verify the caller information, there is a problem that it is difficult to intuitively know the caller corresponding to the caller information even if the called party receives the caller information.
