Abstract

A self-provisioning names database adds new names to a database for associating names to calling address data in a caller identification with name delivery service. A new caller's name is added to the database each time the newcaller places a call to a service subscriber. The database reaches only a nominal size in accordance with Perado's rule that approximately 80% of incoming calls to a subscriber will be from the same small group of callers. Alternatively or in addition, a new party's name is added to the database each time a service subscriber places a call to a party whose name is not already in the names database. Caller names that have been stored in the database and not retrieved for a long period of time are discarded to store new names. Also, the database may periodically request updated data for a stored name, for example, to determine if a different telephone number or address has been assigned to the given name data.
