First Claim
1. A system for entry of contact information for storage in a contact database of a communication device, comprising:
- a communication device communicatively connected to a communication network, further comprising;
means, responsive to detecting a user initiation at said communication device to record an ongoing conversation between said communication device and a second remote communication device, for muting output of a local voice spoken at said communication device from passing to said second remote communication device, for prompting a user at said communication device to speak the contact name for said contact information, and for recording said local voice spoken at said communication device as said contact name;
means, responsive to detecting a pause in said local voice spoken at said communication device for at least a specified time, for broadcasting said local voice spoken at said communication device to said second remote communication device and for recording said ongoing conversation supported between said communication device and said second remote communication device;
means for automatically converting said recording of said contact name and said recording of said ongoing conversation into text at said communication device;
means for automatically extracting said contact name and at least one other type of contact information from said text at said communication device; and

Abstract
A method, system, and program provides for hands free contact database information entry at a communication device. A recording system at a communication device detects a user initiation to record. Responsive to detecting the user initiation to record, the recording system records the ongoing conversation supported between the communication device and a second remote communication device. The recording system converts the recording of the conversation into text. Next, the recording system extracts contact information from the text. Then, the recording system stores the extracted contact information in an entry of the contact database, such that contact information is added to the contact database of the communication device without manual entry of the contact information by the user.

8. A program for entry of contact information for storage in a contact database of a communication device, said program embodied in a computer-readable medium, said program comprising computer-executable instructions which cause a computer to perform the steps of:
-
controlling muting of output of a local voice spoken at said communication device from passing to a second remote communication device, prompting a user at said communication device to speak the contact name for contact information, and recording said local voice spoken at said communication device as said contact name, responsive to detecting a user initiation at said communication device to record an ongoing conversation between said communication device and a second remote communication device; controlling broadcast of said local voice spoken at said communication device to said second remote communication device and recording of said ongoing conversation supported between aid communication device and said second remote communication device, responsive to detecting a pause in said local voice spoken at said communication device for at least a specified; controlling conversion of said recording of said contact name and said recording of said ongoing conversation into text; controlling extraction of extracting said contact name and at least one other type of contact information from said text; and controlling storage of said extracted at least one other type of contact information in an entry under said contact name in said contact database of said communication device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
