    摘要: A method and system for updating contact details of users is disclosed. The method comprises providing a contact record for each of a plurality of users, the contact record for each user comprising a plurality of fields, wherein at least one of the contact records for a first user has a first user identifier in a first field having an associated first communications method. A subsequent step may comprise receiving a communication from a user by means of a second, different communications method, the communication having an associated second user identifier corresponding to at least part of the first user identifier. A subsequent step may comprise identifying the contact record for the first user based on the second user identifier. A subsequent step may comprise updating the identified contact record so that at least one of the fields comprises new information from the second user identifier.

    摘要: Architecture that allows a user to control the way a connection is made to a destination is described. A destination can be tagged with an attribute that defines how the connection to that destination should be routed. For example, a phone address book allows the user not only to enter the usual call recipient information such as name and telephone number, but also to add an attribute in the form of a network identifier associated with a network to be used when connecting to the destination. Where multiple networks are associated with the destination, the phone subsystem, recognizing that the destination now has multiple network IDs for connecting the call, can prompt the user to select the desired network pathway. The user can also tag the destination with a protocol that should be employed. Thus, not only will the phone be connected according to the network, but also the protocol.

    摘要: A method including detecting whether contact information of one or more users in a first address book are changed, the contact information including phone number or email address; when detecting that a phone number of a first user in the first address book is changed, obtaining the total number of detected changes of the phone number of the first user through accumulation; and if the total number exceeds a check threshold, determining that the phone number of the first user has been changed. The present disclosure solves a technical problem of inaccuracy of a phone number recorded in an address book of a user caused by frequent changes to the phone number in the address book.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for managing a subset of user contacts on a telecommunications device are provided. In one embodiment, a software application executed by a processor of a telecommunications device identifies a subset of contacts selected at least in part by a user of the telecommunications device. The subset of contacts includes a portion of the user's contacts accessible by the telecommunications device. The software application executed by the processor of the telecommunications device then causes display of a graphical identifier associated with each contact of the subset of contacts in an arrangement on a display of the telecommunications device about an axis positioned external to the display of the telecommunications device. Aspects of systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for further arranging the graphical identifiers are also provided. Even further, aspects of systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for providing functionality associated with the graphical identifiers are provided.

    摘要: An electronic business card exchange method and apparatus. The method comprises: if a first electronic business card terminal on which a first electronic business card is displayed receives a first touch signal, the first electronic business card terminal turns the first electronic business card upside down to enable the business card to face the other party, and establishes a data connection to a second electronic business card terminal (101); if the first electronic business card terminal on which the first electronic business card that has been turned is displayed receives a second touch signal, the first electronic business card terminal sends the first electronic business card to the second electronic card terminal through the data connection (103); and through the data connection, the first electronic business card terminal receives and displays a second electronic business card sent by the second electronic business card terminal (104). Users can exchange electronic business cards by only sending two touch signals, so that the problems of complex operation of electronic business card exchange and proneness to opposite end confusion in the prior art are solved. In addition, the process is formal and meets business card exchange etiquette, and the problem is solved that electronic business card cannot be popularized on a large scale all the time to replace paper business cards due to the concern of etiquette in electronic business card exchange.
