    摘要: This invention provides methods and apparatus for context based querying to more efficiently provide directory services. In particular, methods and apparatus for querying a database to resolve contact information, e.g., a phone number, based on the context of the query are provided. By querying based on context, the query may be searched using a smaller field of search. Moreover, a context based query allows private phone numbers to be provided when the context of the query has been authenticated and approved for disclosure of the private phone number. Thus, when processing a query for a phone number, the present invention evaluates the context of the query in addition to the query itself to determine what results to provide to a user.

    摘要翻译: 本发明提供了用于基于上下文的查询以更有效地提供目录服务的方法和装置。 具体地,提供了用于查询数据库以根据查询的上下文来解析联系人信息(例如电话号码)的方法和装置。 通过基于上下文进行查询,可以使用更小的搜索字段来搜索查询。 此外,当查询的上下文已被认证并被批准用于公开私人电话号码时,基于上下文的查询允许提供私人电话号码。 因此,当处理对电话号码的查询时,本发明除了查询本身之外还对查询的上下文进行评估,以确定向用户提供什么结果。
