Abstract
Call processing software, methods and equipment providing enhanced notifications are disclosed. Personal agent call processing software executing at a personal agent processor uses existing calling line identification display and calling party name display (CLID/CPND) fields associated with telephony call signals provide these enhanced notification. For example, events that are unrelated to incoming calls may be signaled. Similarly, information derived from incoming CLID information in accordance with subscriber preferences may be provided to a destination. As well, the name or number of the called party and information derived from the CLID/CPND information of the calling party may be provided to a destination. Conveniently, existing telephone appliances capable of display of CLID/CPND information may thus be used to receive a wide variety of notifications.
