`ABSTRACT
`A caller ID ba~~'d call ruulilll!. feature is describt.'d lilr blocked
`and non-blocked caller !D's. A processing system in the pub(cid:173)
`lic switched telephone nelwork (PSTN) receives first idcnti(cid:173)
`tying information for identify the source of a telephone call
`and associates additional inlbrmation stored in a memory
`with the first idemifyinl!. inlonuation. The additional infor(cid:173)
`mation may be information about the calling party initially
`downloaded to the memory by a subscriber. Once retrieved
`from the memory by the pnx:essing system. the additional
`information may then be tr.msmined to the subscriber via the
`Internet for display on a monitor or to the subscriber's tele(cid:173)
`phone for display on a telephone display. Another feature
`described is a brooch calling feature where the subscriber
`may progr.un a proc~o.-s~ing sy~tem within the PS"IN to for(cid:173)
`ward an incoming call to two or more end units (e.g., tele(cid:173)
`phones) simultaneously. l fthc call at an end unit is nnswered,
`answer supervision signaling is tronsmined back to the pro(cid:173)
`cessing system which then terminates all other calls. The
`processing system then connects the calling party to the sub(cid:173)
`scriber. The branch calling may be made for any combination
`of local. long distance. and cellular telephone numbers.

`A preferred embodiment of the inventive system describc..>d
`herein connects at the tandem, thereby eliminating these
`problems.
`In the edge devices residing in the PSTN central ollices, the
`I st party (the calling pany) has numerous features av;Jilable
`(dialing options). The 2nd pany (called party) also has
`options available such as call forwarding, but these features
`typically r~.-quire acc1.'SS from the first or second party's device
`and arc extremely awkward to program. 'llte user interuction

`Call Forwarding is one popular provision. "lberc is signi·
