Definitions

  • This invention relates to multi-media communications, and has particular relation to initiating communication in a multi-media environment.
  • Contact means a telephone number, an e-mail address, a uniform resource locator (URL), or any other indicator as to how a remote person may be contacted.
  • An operator "actuates" the contact, as used herein, by dialing the telephone number, or starting the e-mail program or the URL browser, or similarly causing the communications device to initiate communication with a remote device.
  • the communications device may already have a block of text in it, and this text (or some selectable portion of it), may have the contact already in it. For that matter, it may have the name (including a nickname or code name) of the remote person in it. If this text is already available, it makes more sense for the communications device to match it against the list, and to display only the contacts which appear (or whose associated names appear) in the text. The operator may then select the desired contact from this much-abbreviated list, and actuate the selected contact.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a method according to one embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows an alternative to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows another alternative to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows a desirable error trapping routine.
  • FIG. 5 shows the preferred details of actuating a contact.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a method according to one embodiment of the present invention.
  • the operator selects a block of text (102), and the text is matched (104) to a list of contacts. Each contact has an associated name.
  • a "contact”, as used herein, means a telephone number, an e-mail address, a uniform resource locator (URL), or any other indicator as to how a remote person may be contacted.
  • At least one contact and its associated name are displayed (106) to the operator.
  • the contact and name is displayed only if either the contact or the name appears in the selected text.
  • the selected text consists of only a single word, such as the first or last name of the desired person.
  • FIG. 2 shows an alternative to FIG. 1. As before, the contact is displayed to the operator. Now, however, the operator's act of selecting a contact also (212) actuates it.
  • FIG. 3 shows another alternative to FIG. 1.
  • the operator is given the opportunity to modify (314) the selected text. This opportunity is valuable when, for example, the operator has selected too small of a block of text, and the desired contact does not appear in that block. It is also valuable when the operator has selected too large of a block, and the one desired contact is buried beneath a large number of undesired contacts. If the operator chooses to modify the text, then he selects the text (102) and the method continues as in FIG. 1. If he chooses not to modify the text, then he selects the desired contact (108), and the method continues. One convenient way for the operator to choose not to modify the text is to simply select one of the displayed contacts.
  • FIG. 4 shows a desirable error trapping routine.
  • the operator having selected a contact, is about to actuate it.
  • a contact is about to actuate it.
  • a Uniform Resource Locator URL
  • a label is presented to him, showing "Dial”.
  • the operator realizes his mistake, selects the correct contact, and now the label appears as "Browse”.
  • He actuates the "Browse” label, and gets the URL, which he wanted, and not the telephone number that he did not want.
  • One method for doing this is, after contact selection (108), to inquire if the contact is a telephone number (416).
  • FIG. 5 shows the preferred details of actuating a contact.
  • suitable apparatus determines if the contact is a telephone number (526). If it is (528) it dials the number; if it is not, it determines if the contact is an e-mail address (530). If it is (532) it dials the number; if it is not, it concludes that the contact must be a URL, and starts a browser (534).
  • the contact having been actuated, the method of the present invention ends (536), and communication is established.
  • FIG. 6 shows a preferred apparatus for carrying out the invention.
  • a touch screen (638) is connected via software (640) to a list (642) of contacts and associated names. Text is displayed on the touch screen, and the operator selects whatever portion he desires.
  • the software matches the selected text to the list. If either a contact or an associated name appears in both the selected text and the list, the software displays the contact and the name on the touch screen. Preferably all such contacts are displayed, but in any event at least one such contact is displayed, if there is at least one such contact.
  • the operator selects a contact, preferable by touching it on the touch screen.
  • the software then actuates the contact. This actuation can be initiated either by the simple touching of the contact, or by touching a separate label on the touch screen after the contact has been selected.
  • the label should display "Dial", "E-mail”, or "Browse”, depending on whether the contact is (respectively) a telephone number, an e-mail address, or a uniform resource locator (URL).
  • the software would then (respectively) dial the telephone number, start an e-mail program (with the e-mail address as the address to which the e-mail is to be sent), or start an Internet Browser (with the URL as the URL to be browsed.
  • FIG. 6 shows a double-headed arrow between the touch screen (638) and the software (640), since the software both receives touch commands from the touch screen and displays text, names, and contacts on the touch screen.
  • the arrow from the list (642) to the software (640) is shown as single headed, since the software only extracts names and contacts from the list, and does not modify the list.
  • additional software would be provided to modify the list, either from the touch screen (638) or, preferably, a keyboard (not shown). List modification is, however, not a part of the present invention.
  • the communications device is designed to operate on three media, namely voice, e-mail, and the World Wide Web. These three media are preferred, but even a single medium is within the scope of the present invention, and as many different media may be used as the operator finds convenient.
  • This invention is capable of exploitation in industry, and can be made and used, whenever is it desired to conveniently initiate communication with a remote device.
  • the individual components of the apparatus and method shown herein, taken separate and apart from one another, may be entirely conventional, it being their combination which is claimed as the invention.

Abstract

L'opérateur d'un dispositif de communication sélectionne du texte (102) affiché par le les noms qui leur sont associés. Le terme 'contact' signifie numéro de téléphone, adresse électronique, adresse URL, ou un élément analogue. Les contacts ou leurs noms associés qui apparaissent à la fois dans le texte et dans la liste sont affichés (106), et l'opérateur en sélectionne (108) un parmi cette liste extrêmement réduite. Le dispositif actionne alors le contact (110), soit automatiquement soit sur commande de l'opérateur. Le terme 'actionner' un contact signifie composer le numéro de téléphone, ou démarrer le programme de courrier électronique ou le navigateur URL, ou une action analogue.
