Abstract

An information management system for operation over a network includes a first mobile device having a first application module, the first mobile device operating over the network and in communication with a second mobile device having a second application module, a first operating system residing on the first mobile device configured to detect a communication event between the first mobile device and the second mobile device, and an address book module residing on the second mobile device. The first application module is configured to send information associated with the first mobile device to the second mobile device in association with a detection of the communication event.

Claims

1. An information management system for operation over a network, the system comprising:

a first mobile device having a first application module, the first mobile device operating over the network and in communication with a second mobile device having a second application module;

a first operating system residing on the first mobile device configured to detect a communication event between the first mobile device and the second mobile device; and

an address book module residing on the second mobile device,

wherein the first application module is configured to send information associated with the first mobile device to the second mobile device in association with a detection of the communication event.

2. The information management system of claim 1, wherein the first mobile device is configured to prompt a first user to enter information for storage in the first application module of the first mobile device.

3. The information management system of claim 1, wherein the second application module is triggered to permit insertion of information transmitted via the communication event into the address book module.

4. The information management system of claim 1 wherein the first application module is configured to prompt the first mobile device to send information stored in the first mobile device to the second mobile device.

5. The information management system of claim 1 wherein the second application module is configured to prompt a user of the second mobile device to insert the information associated with the first mobile device into the address book module.

6. The information management system of claim 1 wherein the first application module and the second application module exchange information associated with a first user.

7. The information management system of claim 1 wherein the first application module is configured to detect a communication event in at least one of the first mobile device or the second mobile device

8. The information management system of claim 1 further comprising an address book module residing on the first mobile device.

9. The information management system of claim 1 wherein the application module is configured to determine a frequency of the communication between the first mobile device and the second mobile device.

10. The information management system of claim 9 wherein when the frequency of the communication between the first mobile device and the second mobile device exceeds a threshold, the application module is configured to send an updated information message to the second mobile device.

11. The information management system of claim 1 wherein the first application module is configured to update information stored in the first mobile device.

12. The information management system of claim 11 wherein the first application module is configured to prompt a first user to send the updated information to the second mobile device for automatic insertion into the address book module.

13. The information management system of claim 11 wherein the first application module is configured to automatically provide updated information to contacts stored in the first mobile device.

14. The information management system of claim 1 wherein the first application module is configured to allow entry of a permission level for the information stored in the first mobile device.

15. The information management system of claim 14 wherein the first application module is configured to send information associated with the first mobile device that corresponds to the permission level to the second mobile device.

16. The information management system of claim 14 wherein the first application module is configured to store the permission level that corresponds to the second mobile device.

17. The information management system of claim 16 wherein the first application module is configured to store a sent record to indicate a time of sent data, a destination number and a permission level.

18. A mobile device configured to receive information communicated over a network, the mobile device comprising:

an application module residing on a mobile device and configured to detect an incoming communication sent to the mobile device over the network;

a phonebook module residing on the mobile device and configured to store information contained in the incoming communication received by the mobile device,

wherein the application module detects the incoming communication and the application module is triggered to provide an option of storing information contained in the incoming communication in the phonebook module.

19. The mobile device of claim 18 wherein the incoming communication comprises a SMS message received by the mobile device.

20. The mobile device of claim 18 wherein the application module is configured to prompt a first user of the mobile device for entry of the information or to update the information contained in the incoming communication.

21. The mobile device of claim 20 further comprising an operating system module, wherein the phonebook module resides on the operating system module.

22. The mobile device of claim 20 wherein the application module is configured to detect a call identifier of the communication to determine whether the calling number is a mobile device call identifier.
