More Information
Summary:The present invention relates generally to telecommunications services and more particularly to caller identification. More particularly, the present invention relates to automatic management of incoming calls at a called telephone. Processing a call from a calling party at a calling communication station to a called communication station includes detecting signalling information for the call, including determining whether standard caller identification for the calling communication station can be provided to the called communication station and detecting a privacy level selected by a called party at the called communication station. The call is routed in response to the signalling information and the privacy level. This permits management of privacy levels at the called communication station using the signalling information for the call.
