Method for implementing a server-based, common communication identifier for multiple communication applications
First Claim
1. A method for implementing a server-based, common communication identifier for use with multiple communication applications, the method comprising:
- configuring a server-based repository for storing individual communication location records therein, each of said individual communication location records corresponding to individual owners thereof;
said individual communication location records further containing one or more communication location record (CLR) fields therein, each of said CLR fields corresponding to a specific communication medium by which a particular one of said individual owners may be contacted; and
assigning a CLR identifier for each owner having an individual communication location record stored in said repository;
wherein a selected CLR field for a given owner is individually accessed by presenting the CLR identifier corresponding to said given owner, along with a CLR field identifier corresponding to said selected CLR field, to said server-based repository.

Abstract
A method for implementing a server-based, common communication identifier for use with multiple communication applications is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the method includes configuring a server-based repository for storing individual communication location records therein, with each of the individual communication location records corresponding to individual owners thereof. The individual communication location records containing one or more communication location record (CLR) fields therein, with each of the CLR fields corresponding to a specific communication medium by which a particular owner may be contacted. A CLR identifier is assigned for each owner having an individual communication location record stored in said repository. Thereby, a selected CLR field for a given owner is individually accessed by presenting the CLR identifier corresponding to the given owner, along with a CLR field identifier corresponding to the selected CLR field, to the server-based repository.
