Systems and methods for providing enhanced caller identification screening using audible caller name announcement are disclosed. Generally, a request for audible caller identification associated with a calling communication station is transmitted to the calling communication station based on an analysis of a query comprising data indicating whether presentation of standard call identification information to a called communication station. Audible caller identification information is then received and transmitted to the called communication station.

Method and system for providing enhanced caller identification

A method and system provide enhanced caller identification information to a called party. The system determines whether or not standard caller identification information associated with a calling party can be provided to the called party. The system preferably determines whether the standard caller identification information is unavailable, incomplete or has been blocked. When the system determines that the standard caller identification information cannot be provided, the system transmits a request for audible caller identification information to the calling party. If the calling party provides the requested audible caller identification information, the audible caller identification information is transmitted to the called party. The called party is thus provided with information about the calling party that can assist the called party in deciding whether or not to answer the call.

A dynamic information transfer system in which there are at least two targets , one of which is a mobile target and among which information can be transferred. The targets possess systems to store, process, and use information and programs in the form of an intelligent software agent (ISA) system associated with each target that is capable of initiating actions and negotiating with other agents or systems in the network. The ISA system includes a personal assistant device (PAD), or the like, that interacts with the user, and performs operations on the user's behalf. A Location Determination System (LDS) is utilized to determine the user's geographic position and the user's direction and speed of travel, if mobile. Virtual zones are used to trigger data transfers among the involved targets, events, or programs to be initiated or terminated at one of the involved targets. Virtual zones are bounded areas encompassing targets that are calculated dynamically from the location, direction, speed, and current or pending user activities associated with all involved targets. A User Profile is created and maintained either manually by the user or automatically by the user's PAD, and which specifies various user preferences related to such things as software programs, communications and messaging, entertainment, scheduling, and the degree of freedom and behavior of the PAD itself.

Method and apparatus for dynamic information transfer from a mobile target to a fixed target that tracks their relative movement and synchronizes data between them

A method and system that enables service providers to receive an order from a mobile customer, receive customer location information from a location determination system, and schedule the completion of the customer's order to coincide with the customer's arrival at a local facility able to satisfy the customer's order. In one embodiment, the mobile customer is associated with a tracking device connected to a mobile location determination system that determines the customer's location, which is then given to the service provider. The service provider uses the customer's location to determine a local facility that can satisfy the customer's order. The service provider transmits the order to the local facility and schedules the fulfillment of the order to coincide with the customer's arrival at the local facility. To further expedite the order, customers may pay electronically for the service in advance. The service provider also may maintain a database of customer transactions that can be used to determine customer preferences.
