Contact exporting
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for exporting data containing contact information to a remote application, the method comprising:
- associating contact information data for a single contact with one of a plurality of database objects; and
transmitting the contact information data and data identifying the database object over a communications network to the remote application in a form that enables the remote application, when initiating one or more machine-executable processes that use the database object and contact information data associated therewith, to make use of the transmitted contact information data in executing the processes.

Abstract
Data containing contact information may be exported to a remote application by associating contact information data for a single contact with one of a plurality of database objects. After this association has occurred, contact information data and data identifying the database object may be transmitted over a communications network to the remote application in a form that enables the remote application, when initiating one or more machine-executable processes that use the database object and contact information data associated therewith, to make use of the transmitted contact information data in executing the processes. Related apparatuses, methods, systems, computer program products are also described.

10. An apparatus to export data containing contact information to a remote application, the apparatus comprising:
-
an association unit to associate contact information data for a single contact with one of a plurality of database objects; and
a transmission unit to transmit the contact information data and data identifying the database object over a communications network to the remote application in a form that enables the remote application, when initiating one or more machine-executable processes that use the database object and contact information data associated therewith, to make use of the transmitted contact information data in executing the processes. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
determining if messages received via a communications network contain contact information data;
associating contact information data within the received messages with one or more database objects and one or more corresponding remote applications; and
transmitting, for each database object, the contact information data associated with the database object and data identifying the database object over the communications network to the corresponding associated remote application in a form that enables the corresponding remote application, when initiating one or more machine-executable processes that uses the database object and contact information data associated therewith, to make use of the transmitted contact information data in executing the processes. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
