Abstract
TELEPHONE WITHOUT NUMBERS
Abstract Telephone is an apparatus people use it everyday. We know it needs a certain number of digits to dial( 7,6,or 8,.... depending on the telephone system of the specific regions,countries ). In this invention,a new telephone system and a corresponding telephone apparatus are designed so that when we want to make a phone call, instead of having to find the desired seven digits(or other numbers) from the brain memory or white pages/yellow pages,we can simply dial the name of the person and/or some supplemental identifications alphabetic and/or numeric string,which can be the address,the age,the city or some location specifications.
Today the function of the communication local relay centre is to identify 7 digits,which is the simplest way. In this invention,the function of the local centre is to identify a location string,then get the corresponding 7 digits fromthe computer memory,then verify with the caller by sending message on the caller's phone small screen.until a unique matching is found see figure 2.
An organisation and its internal divisions/departments are treated in the similar way as an individual person.

Description
S Decif ication This invention relates to telephone and îa~ communication system.
It is known in today s telephone communications that whenever someone picks up a phone,he/she has to compose seven digits ~more for long distance) , ~ .
.
' , ~' ~ ., ~ , 2 ~ 3 8 and the relay centre receives the number then connect the desi~ed receiver line with the caller's line.
The enormous difficulties associated with this e~isting technology are the followirlgs, The necesity of updating the telephone books(y~llo~v/white pages) everyear,which costs so much money and paper by bearin~ in mind the volume of the books across the world.
The trouble îor each indiYidual to memori~e or keep noting the often used telephone numbers.
The necesity to keep many operators at the relay center to find the numbers for callers,who knows the names,address but not the numbers.
By resort to the present invention,all the îorementioned troubles will be avoided.The new ~elephone set(apparatus figure 1 ) is equipped with,(in addition to the 10 numeric keys),separated 26 alphbatic keys and some functionel keys like Address,Age,City,Nation,etc.,and also a screen for the relay ce~ter to send back identification message îor ~erification in ~he case of multiplicity or u~certainity,the caller may be asked to supply supplemental string for the relay center to get an unique receiver l~ne. The relay ceIlter has to be a fast,large memory computer,which has certain infomation (such as address,age,se~,etc.,) on each of the telepholle li~e.The computer conducts identification matching once it gets a calling demand and the string for the receiver.
The in~ormation of a telephone user line depends on herJhis willingness to provide to the telephone relay ce~ter,like age,profession,etc., Nevertherless, the address is no problem.
Dr~ g~ ~vhich illustr~lte e~bodi~e~ts 0f the i~esltio~:
Figure 1 is the telephone set. Ithe familiar audio part not shown) Figure 2 is a schematic for a telephone/fax comunication system.
Figure 3-6 are the flow charts for ~he relay center computer to verify with the caller until an unique receiver line is identified.

2~7~8 According to what informatron the caller has ~n his mind about the r~ceiver, such as îirst naDie,aliddle name,famlly name,address(#,~treet,apartment #, or appro~imate location:like approximate number,nearby streets,etc.,),age, the wanted receiver is at work or at home, there can be many different logie ;~.
flow charts in the identification process before al~ unique line is p~cked up.
Figure 3 The first n~me is i~put,by searching in the memory of the local relay centre a new first name may be proposed in case of spelling mistake which makes the lnput name no-existing,then in many cases,the relay computer oentre will ask on the screen that a la$t ~a~e is ~ollowed,if now the person is unique in the local,but he/she can be at work or at home,the centre sends this choiee on the screen,if ~70rlc is pushed then ~n unique line is matched!
Figure 4 Last n~me is first input in most cases this is not enough to identiIy an unique receiver, then a lirst ~e is followed.For there are more one person has the same name,the street in which the receiver is at the time of dialing is asked to be given.lf now the same-name two or more people happen to on the same street, then an appro~imate address Ilu~ber is helpful to îurther pick up the unique wanted per~on.In e~treme circumstances an ~p~rt~e~t (appro~imate even~ number might be needed.
Figure 5 ~irst n~e is given in starting,then a ~e~rby Ad~r.~ Street are input after these an un~que id~ntiîication is foun~ in ~hat nearby area!
Figure 6 L2st ~me is input, for no unique as it is in many cases,at Wo~k is added, since very possible that several people having the same last ~ame are all at work,no~v the local relay centre proposes several choices in terms of a~e, address,etc.,the caller push the button A~other un~il the wanted one appears.
Similar sequences can be easily writ~en in the way of the last four.The esse-ntial thing is to give supplemental information like age(even appro~imate) address (even appro~imate),then the caller answer YES or NO by the keys to confirm.When the caller is not sure his/her choice,an ANOT~ER is pressed to ask the computer to propose another closest possible choice( this :
, logic is applied also when any information input by a caller have wrong spelling i~ names,addresses).
For people who different numbers,an key ~OlU~ or ~leSIDE~lCE are set fo~
more precise identification.~ In comple2e cases, a soft keys may be used,that is press Nearby key,then input some like villas,boat,...). When finally an unique receiver is found and confirmed by the caller,the relay centre connect the two lines.
A local call to anv k~l of institutions Start from the title of the establishment,say BELL CANADA,then the relay centre may ask on the screen,which office ?then ADDRESS Street keys are input to indicate the address( even appro~imate),usually a general info's li~e connected when the caller is not sure the e~act office to talk with.
In the case that the caller knows the specific office to deal wi~h,then an soft key for identification is input.
A lonR ~tance call The thing which differs this call from a local is tha~ it has to be proceeded by the key CIT~ the~ the name of the city in which stays the receiver.Then the receiver relay centre does the same verification procedure as a local call.
~call to a country which is not associated in the same network.
Here the call has to be initiated by the key Natio~ then follows the name of the country where stays the desired receiver.
The numeric keys supplied on the phone are for inputting addresses or ages, apartment numbers, they can also be used when there is a regular phone number available~9 1 1 ,local numbers within an establishment or be given from a general infn desk in the case of an vr~anization) The local relaY centres in ~i~ure 2 These are computers which have huge da~abase or an e~pert system.

Claims
A For the telephone set as an apparatus
1)An apparatus for telecommunications which employ not only Arabic numbers,also, as first convenience choice,the alphabetic letters and functional keys to send identifications. The screen shows each symbol (letter, numerals) when it is inputted,the screen also gets information from the relay centre for verifying and modifications if it is necessary.
B. For the computer program which has the flow charts similar as in Figures3-6 A program which has a database or an expert system.When it receives a call demand,it will first check the spelling and proposing the most possible modifications ,then looking into the database/expert system, if there is multiple matchable receivers,it will ask for more info,like address,ages,etc., until an unique receiver is found.
B. For the computer program which has the flow charts similar as in Figures3-6 A program which has a database or an expert system.When it receives a call demand,it will first check the spelling and proposing the most possible modifications ,then looking into the database/expert system, if there is multiple matchable receivers,it will ask for more info,like address,ages,etc., until an unique receiver is found.
