Abstract
In one aspect, the present invention provides systems and methods for adding information to a directory stored in a mobile device.
Claims32
A cellular phone including a system that adds contact information to a directory stored in a memory of the cellular phone, the system comprising:
- a radio receiver coupled to a processor and the memory, wherein the radio receiver is configured to receive a visual message that includes contact information in the visual message body transmitted to the cellular phone using a Global System for Mobile communications (“GSM”) cellular phone network, and the processor configured to store the message in the memory;
- and
- the processor further configured to parse the received visual message and add at least a portion of the contact information from the visual message body to the directory.
A cellular communication device including a system that adds contact information to a directory stored in a memory of the cellular communication device, the system comprising:
- a radio receiver coupled to a processor and the memory, wherein the radio receiver is configured to receive a visual message that includes contact information in the visual message body transmitted to the cellular communication device using a GSM cellular phone network;
- the processor coupled to the memory and configured to store the message in the memory;
- the processor configured to provide, via a user interface, an option to add at least a portion of the contact information from the visual message body to the directory;
- and
- the processor further configured to add at least a portion of the contact information from the visual message body to the directory upon the option being selected.
A method of adding contact information to a directory stored in a memory of a cellular phone comprising:
- receiving a visual message that includes contact information in the visual message body via radio frequency communication using a GSM cellular phone network and storing the visual message in the memory;
- operating a processor in the cellular phone to parse the visual message to obtain the contact information from the visual message body and to add at least a portion of the contact information from the visual message body to the directory.
A method of adding contact information to a directory stored in a memory of a the cellular communication device comprising:
- receiving a visual message that includes contact information in the visual body via radio frequency communication using a GSM cellular phone network and storing the visual message in the memory;
- operating a processor in the mobile communication device to provide, via a user interface, an option to add at least a portion of the contact information from the visual message body to the directory;
- and
- operating the processor to add at least a portion of the contact information from the visual message body to the directory when the option to do so has been selected.
