Constructing a Contact Sharing History
First Claim
1. A method for constructing a contact sharing history, comprising:
- receiving, at a computing device of a second user, a communication contact information element of a first user, wherein said communication contact information element is linked to a personal identification key associated with the first user;
adding a link to a personal identification key associated with the second user to the communication contact information element to form the contact sharing history; and
communicating the contact sharing history from the computing device of the second user to the first user when communicating with the first user to show the first user where the second user obtained the first user'"'"'s communication contact information element.

Abstract
Technology for constructing a contact sharing history is disclosed. One method comprises receiving, at a computing device of a second user, a communication contact information element of a first user. The contact information is linked to a personal identification key associated with the first user. A link to a personal identification key associated with the second user is added to the communication contact information element to form the contact sharing history. The contact sharing history can then be used to identify how the second user obtained the first user'"'"'s communication contact information element.

14. A computer program product, comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for constructing a contact sharing history, comprising:
-
adding a link to a personal identification key associated with the second user to the communication contact information element to form the contact sharing history sending, from a computing device of a first user, a communication contact information element of a first user, wherein said communication contact information element is linked to a personal identification key associated with the first user; communicating the contact sharing history from the computing device of the second user to the first user when communicating with the first user to show the first user where the second user obtained the first user'"'"'s communication contact information element. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
