Abstract
A Data Entry Confirmation System (DECS) is provided whereby a user with a communication device capable of communicating with the DECS is able to perform a pre-dialing operation based on contact information inputted onto the communication device and transmitted by said communication device to the DECS. Thus, the DECS is able to perform a reverse caller ID operation allowing a user to confirm identity of the party the user wishes to call prior to actually calling the party. The DECS uses the input contact information to retrieve corresponding contact information from one or more databases with which it is in communication and transmit said output contact information to the user device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- performing, by a DECS (Data Entry Confirmation System), a pre-dialing operation to generate output contact information, the pre-dialing operation using input contact information received by the DECS in response to transmission of search input options by the DECS.
A communication device comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- a keypad and display coupled to the processing circuitry, said processing circuitry comprising at least a transmitter and receiver circuitry to convey information to a DECS and said keypad and display being operable to perform a pre-dialing operation with the DECS.
