Abstract
The concept of caller identification (ID) may be enhanced by taking advantage of video by allowing a call recipient to see who is calling on an incoming video call. The call recipient may be allowed to make a decision to accept or decline the incoming video call based upon who the call recipient sees (e.g. through a live video stream) attempting to contact them.
