Abstract

See full text

An apparatus, method and computer program product for automatically generating directory entries based on caller-id information are provided. When a call is received from a calling party, the caller-id information is obtained from a caller-id database. Either before, during or after the communication connection is established between the calling party's communication device and the called party's communication device, the called party is given the option to store and/or update the caller-id information as a directory entry in a local directory of the called party's communication device. If the called party elects to have the calling party's caller-id information stored in the called party's directory, the caller-id information is transmitted to the called party's communication device and stored as an entry in the called party's local directory and is used for further processing such as call block and the like. The caller-id information stored in the party's local directory may be more than the caller-id information displayed on the communication device display.
