11/431886

Inventors:

John T. Wilkins - Danville CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709206

Abstract:

A computer-implemented contact management method includes creating a contact record in a contact management system, generating a unique serial number corresponding to the contact record, conveying the serial number to a recipient, entering, by the recipient, the serial number into an internet-enabled computer application, requesting, by the application, the record from the contact management system corresponding to the serial number, and receiving data associated with the contact record. The received contact data may be automatically updated through an update function. A contact management system includes a data storage and a contact management server. A plurality of internet-enabled computer applications associated to the same user account may receive the same information using a synchronization function without further user input.

Inventors:

John T. Wilkins - Danville CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709225

Abstract:

A computer-implemented contact management method includes creating a contact record in a contact management system, generating a unique serial number corresponding to the contact record, conveying the serial number to a recipient, entering, by the recipient, the serial number into an internet-enabled computer application, and requesting, by the application, the record from the contact management system corresponding to the serial number. The contact record includes an indication of whether approval from the contact record owner is required prior to enabling the requester to access to the contact record. If approval is not required, then the requester receives data associated with the contact record. If approval is required, then the requestor is notified that access to the requested contact record is awaiting approval. If approval is granted, the requestor is granted access to the requested contact record. Otherwise, the requestor is notified that the contact request has been rejected.
