Definitions

  • the present invention relates to and departs from the conventional practice of a generalized method for transferring contact information obtained from a web search. More particularly, the present transfer method provides a simple method to automatically transfer business or residential contact information obtained from a web search to a wireless device, a web-based list and/or a standard email application contact list. Additionally, a business method is presented to enable users to benefit from this capability for little or no charge and for businesses to sponsor the service while gaining mind share with users and potential customers.
  • vcard for "virtual business card”
  • the most common example of how vcards are used is for one person to send his personal contact information from his phone to somebody else's phone either via infrared or through the wireless network.
  • the receiver's phone alerts her that a contact has been received and offers the choice to view, save, or discard the contact.
  • many standard email applications such as Micorosft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express and Apple Mail, support the sending and receiving of contact information via vcards. They enable users to select contacts from within the application to send to other people as vcards as well as to receive contacts sent from others as vcards and then save them in the application's contact list.
  • the vcard When a person sends a vcard through an cellular phone operator's network, the vcard is transmitted from one phone to the other as a specially coded SMS. A vcard is transmitted as an SMS with a special tag at the beginning that alerts the phone that the SMS should be treated as a vcard. It should be noted that in many cases, the vcard is formatted in a vendor-specific manner, limiting the exchange of vcards only between like make and models of phones.
  • the present invention offers a method to easily transfer contacts between a Web-based service and an SMS-enabled phone, thru an SMS-enabled network.
  • One of the basic tasks for a cell phone user is to enter frequently dialed numbers into his or her phone via one of the following methods:
  • Another method to enter contacts into a phone is to upload information from a PC via either a serial cable connection, infrared or Bluetooth.
  • a serial cable connection infrared or Bluetooth.
  • Each of these methods requires that the subscriber owns a PC with the appropriate interface and purchases and installs the appropriate software on the PC. This is expensive, complex and is not supported by all phones.
  • a newer method for storing contacts in a phone is based on the syncML and GPRS industry standards. This solution works well if the user has a phone that supports both syncML and GPRS, and uses a network operator that offers GPRS services. This solution offers another possible embodiment of the present invention.
  • GSM phone users can store user-entered contact information on the SIM card in their phone. A user can then transfer all information to another phone simply by transferring the SIM card. Unfortunately, the contacts are lost if the subscriber loses his phone with the SIM card inside. Additionally, the SIM card has a limit of approximately 250 contacts, whereas newer phone models can store many hundreds of contacts, thus the SIM card cannot archive the full contact listing stored in the phone. Finally, many phones have the ability to store multiple phone numbers per name, which SIM cards are unable to do.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de transférer des informations de contact obtenues par une recherche web à un dispositif sans fil (121), ainsi qu'une liste de contact sur le web et/ou une liste de contact d'application de courriel standard. Dans un mode de réalisation, le procédé consiste à prévoir l'entrée d'un nom commercial ou de résidence et d'un emplacement dans un formulaire d'interrogation de recherche sur le web. L'interrogation de recherche (712) est reçue au niveau d'un serveur qui trouve toutes correspondances appropriées aux données d'interrogation entrées par l'utilisateur et retourne à ce dernier les informations de contact obtenues par le biais d'une page web actualisée. L'utilisateur peut alors cliquer sur une touche ou sur un lien à proximité du résultat de recherche affiché pour transférer les informations de contact à un dispositif sans fil, une liste sur le web et/ou une liste de contact d'application de courriel standard en fonction des préférences établies par l'utilisateur.
