Abstract

A method for automatically searching for a number saved in an electronic phone book is disclosed in the present invention where the entered number is compared to numbers saved in the electronic telephone book as the numbers have been entered. A search number is generated as the number is entered and is then modified. The generation of a search number involves producing the number in global international telephone number format. The search number is then compared to each saved number in the electronic telephone book, where the saved numbers are also converted into the global international telephone number format, if necessary. A list of alternative matching telephone numbers between the number being entered and the saved numbers in the electronic telephone book is provided. The list of alternative matches is updated as each new digit of the number is entered. The list could be used for automatic completion of a telephone number being dialled or for searching the contents of the electronic telephone book by telephone number.
