Abstract

A method and system for context-based data completion is described. In one embodiment, information is inputted by a user into a wireless device (or the like), and based on specific addressing data of information provided by the user, additional data is appended to some of the data entered into the wireless device in order to facilitate communication to a separate device.

In alternative embodiments, addressing datum completion logic used to determine the data needed to add to a partial addressing datum may be incorporated within a graphical user interface or may be server-based. In alternative embodiments, the directory used with the addressing datum completion logic may be incorporated into the addressing datum completion logic, may reside within a wireless device for use with the addressing datum completion logic, or may be server-based.

Claims

1. A method comprising providing for completion of an incomplete addressing datum sent to a communication device, wherein completion is accomplished by an analyzing logic searching for at least one clue.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the incomplete addressing datum is a partial phone number.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the incomplete addressing datum is a partial email address.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the analyzing logic is incorporated into the communication device or resides on a server.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein a directory searched by the analyzing logic is incorporated into the communication device or resides on a server.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the communication device is a wireless device.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein one of the at least one clue is a sender'"'"'s identity.

8. A machine-readable medium that provides instructions which, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising providing for completion of an incomplete addressing datum sent to a communication device, wherein completion is accomplished by an analyzing logic searching for at least one clue.

9. The machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the incomplete addressing datum is a partial phone number.

10. The machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the incomplete addressing datum is a partial email address.

11. The machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the analyzing logic is incorporated into the communication device or resides on a server.

12. The machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein a directory searched by the analyzing logic is incorporated into the communication device or resides on a server.

13. The machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein the communication device is a wireless device.

14. The machine-readable medium of claim 8, wherein one of the at least one clue is a sender'"'"'s identity.

16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the incomplete addressing datum is a partial phone number.

17. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the incomplete addressing datum is a partial email address.

18. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the analyzing logic is incorporated into the communication device or resides on a server.

19. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein a directory searched by the analyzing logic is incorporated into the communication device or resides on a server.

20. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the communication device is a wireless device.

21. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein one of the at least one due is a sender'"'"'s identity.

15. An apparatus comprising an analyzing logic to search for at least one clue to complete an incomplete addressing datum sent to a communication device.
