A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12003665B2) outlines a method for electronically retrieving and displaying contextual information for unknown or unfamiliar callers during an incoming call. The method involves receiving an incoming call transmission notification signal, identifying the source device, providing an indication of the call, and determining if the source device is unknown to the receiving device. If unknown, the method accesses local or remote databases to gather contextual information such as public safety incident data, talkgroup membership, vehicle registration info, and more. This information is then displayed on the receiving device to aid in identifying the caller.

Furthermore, the patent describes a system where infrastructure electronic processing devices receive the incoming call notification, determine the familiarity of the source device, access databases for contextual information, and forward this information to the receiving device. The receiving device, equipped with electronic processing devices, then displays the contextual information and allows the user to accept the call. This innovative method aims to enhance caller identification and provide valuable information to the user during incoming calls, potentially improving communication efficiency and user experience in various scenarios.
