Abstract

A method, system and computer readable medium for information handling within an operating system, including providing a record retrieval program; providing an input device within a window or screen of the operating system and configured to enter an execute command which initiates a record retrieval from local and remote information sources using the record retrieval program; using the record retrieval program to enter first information into search fields provided in the record retrieval program; entering the execute command using the input device after the step of entering the first information; searching, using the record retrieval program, the local and remote information sources for second information associated with the first information; and displaying the second information in the record retrieval program, when one of the local and remote information sources includes second information associated with the first information.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method for information handling in a cell phone, the method comprising:

analyzing in a computer process information electronically displayed on the cell phone to identify a portion of that information as an e-mail address, without user designation of a specific part of the electronically displayed information to be subject to the analyzing;

electronically searching in an information source for the e-mail address in order to find whether the e-mail is included in that information source;

when the information source includes the e-mail, if a name in the information source is associated with that e-mail address, electronically displaying at least a portion of that name on the cell phone; and

providing an input device configured to initiate at least one of the foregoing processes.

2. A method according to claim 1, further comprising:

initiating electronic communication using the e-mail address.

3. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with instructions which, when loaded on a cell phone, establish processes for information handling in the cell phone, the processes comprising:

analyzing in a computer process information electronically displayed on the cell phone to identify a portion of that information as an e-mail address, without user designation of a specific part of the electronically displayed information to be subject to the analyzing;

electronically searching in an information source for the e-mail address in order to find whether the e-mail is included in that information source;

when the information source includes the e-mail, if a name in the information source is associated with that e-mail address, electronically displaying at least a portion of that name on the cell phone; and

providing an input device configured to initiate at least one of the foregoing processes.

4. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 3, the instructions further establishing processes comprising:

initiating electronic communication using the e-mail address.

5. A cell phone, comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to perform processes that include;

analyzing in a computer process information electronically displayed on the cell phone to identify a portion of that information as an e-mail address, without user designation of a specific part of the electronically displayed information to be subject to the analyzing;

electronically searching in an information source for the e-mail address in order to find whether the e-mail is included in that information source;

when the information source includes the e-mail, if a name in the information source is associated with that e-mail address, electronically displaying at least a portion of that name on the cell phone; and

providing an input device configured to initiate at least one of the foregoing processes.

6. A cell phone according to claim 5, wherein the memory further stores instructions executable by the processor to perform processes that include:

initiating electronic communication using the e-mail address.
