Method of initializing a mobile communication device for making a dispatch call
First Claim
1. A method of initializing a mobile communication device for making a dispatch call in a mobile communication network, the mobile communication network providing an air network interface, an air circuit interface, and connectivity to a communication network server and database, the method comprising the steps of:
- establishing a network connection between the mobile communication device and the communication network server using the air network interface;
requesting a database entry from the database, performed by the mobile communication device over the air network interface;
formatting the database entry with a mark up language to provide a browsable database entry having a format and including at least one dispatch tag, the at least one dispatch tag corresponding to a dispatch call type;
transmitting the browsable database entry to the mobile communication device over the air network interface;
displaying the database entry on a display of the mobile communication device according to the format, including displaying at least one dispatch calling option corresponding to the at least one dispatch tag, performed by the mobile communication device;
selecting a desired dispatch calling option, performed by a user of the mobile communication device; and
configuring the mobile communication device to make a dispatch call corresponding to the dispatch calling option.

Abstract
A mobile communication device (116) establishes a network connection with a server (120) and searches a database (122) for calling information associated with a party the user of the mobile communication device desires to call. Once the information is located, it is formatted (508) by the server so that it is in a browsable format, suitable for displaying on the mobile communication device. The server transmits (510) the formatted information to the mobile communication device, where calling options are displayed (512) to the user. The user then selects (514) one of the options, and the mobile communication device configures (516) itself to perform the desired communication activity.
