In step 404, plug-in unit 32 definite national codes that are associated with content.For example, plug-in unit 32 can check that the URL that is associated with webpage is to check whether it has identified national code.Perhaps, plug-in unit 32 can carry out the reverse IP address search to domain name.Country variant has different IP address ranges.In another embodiment, browser language and type of coding can be indicated country.Internet Explorer has the API that specifies and read the language of webpage.Some webpage will have the HTML code of having indicated original language and country.In certain embodiments, this information can be in the HTML title.In certain embodiments, can not determine national code.
In step 406, plug-in unit 32 is carried out the telephone number recognition function.Input to the phone recognition function comprises original input string and (optional) national code that is hovered.The output of phone recognition function comprises whether (1) original input string comprises boolean's judgement of telephone number, the telephone number of (2) normalized schema, and (3) raw mode telephone number.The more details of phone recognition function will be described with reference to Figure 6 hereinafter.
In step 408, if the text that is hovered does not comprise telephone number, then this process is circulated back to step 402 and waits for another hover events.If the text that is hovered comprises telephone number (step 408) really, then in step 410, plug-in unit 32 is indicated this telephone number of browser 30 highlights via an API.In step 412, plug-in unit 32 makes a ToolTips be shown.This ToolTips indication user can click the number of highlight to carry out the call to this number.
At this moment, the user can do at least two actions: the user can remove from the number of highlight, and perhaps the user can select the number of highlight by clicking its (or by a certain other selection approach).If the user selects the number of highlight, then in step 416, plug-in unit 32 starts SoftPhone 40, the telephone number of highlight is passed to SoftPhone 40, and indication browser 30 removes highlight.In step 418, SoftPhone 40 sets up and the communicating by letter of the telephone number of highlight.For example, signal and speech engine 46 uses technology as known in the art to create to use suitable agreement (for example, VOIP) to be connected with the voice of the telephone number of highlight.If the user removes and do not select its (step 414) from the telephone number of highlight, then in step 420, plug-in unit 32 indication browsers 30 remove the highlight to telephone number, and this process is circulated back to step 402 and with test whether another hover events has taken place.
Fig. 6 is a flow chart of describing an embodiment of telephone number recognition function (seeing the step 406 of Fig. 5).This function attempts one of input pattern and one group of mode of storage are mated.Each country has its phone number format of popularizing.For formulistic pattern, national code is represented as " C ", and numeral is " D ", and alphanumeric (numeral and letter) is " A ", and delimiter is "? "Delimiter is used to make telephone number more can be read by the mankind.For example, " (", ") ", "-", ". ", "/" and space are popular delimiters.For example, telephone number 1-800-FOR-PIZZA can be formulated as " C? D3? A3? A4 ".This pattern has optional national code, the three-figure area code of heel, the telephone number of heel seven figure places.National code generally is optional.
The telephone number that mates can be standardized, and, removes all delimiters that is.This will simplify pattern matching.Yet delimiter provides the hint about area code because area code only with the numeral but not the letter write as.
Two kinds of phone number patterns are arranged: raw mode and normalized schema.Raw mode is the pattern that can be directly used in the coupling original phone number.Normalized schema is to can be used for mating the pattern of telephone number of standardizing.For example, in the U.S., form can be one of following:
Form Raw mode Normalized schema
+14257069606 +CD3A7 +CD3A7
1(425)7069606 C??D3??A7 CD3A7
1(425)707-9606 C??D3??A3?A4 CD3A7
1-425-706-9606 C?D3?A3?A4 CD3A7
1-425-7069606 C?D3?A7 CD3A7
1.425.706.9606 C?D3?A3?A4 CD3A7
1.425.7069606 C?D3?A7 CD3A7
For some country, area code does not always have identical length with telephone number.In this case, pattern will be written as scope.For example, " CD1-4A6-9 " expression area code can have 1 to 4 figure place, and toll free number can have 6 numeral/letters to 9 numeral/letters.
In the step 450 of Fig. 6, receive original input string.In certain embodiments, also receive national code.If received national code (step 452), then visit and use the database that is used for this particular country sign indicating number.If national code is unavailable, then in step 456, use U.S.'s database (or other default database).In step 458, original input string standardizes.
In step 460, this function attempts one group of normalized schema in normalized original input and the selected data storehouse is mated.If find coupling (step 462), then attempt this original input string is mated with any raw mode that is associated with the normalized schema that mates in step 466.If do not find coupling, then this function is returned vacation in step 464, this means not find any telephone number in input string.
