Communication device for transmitting/acquiring a phone number via a link network and method thereof
First Claim
1. A communication device for acquiring a phone number via a link network, comprising:
- a signal transceiver for providing a link network and acquiring at least one phone number from an another communication device via the link network;
a storage medium having a phone number record list for recording the phone number;
a determining part for determining the phone number to be a diallable number or an undiallable number to obtain a expecting dial state of the phone number to provide a determined result; and
a controller for selectively providing a dial function and an edit function of one of the phone number according to the determined result;
wherein the determining part makes a comparison of the phone number according to a decision table to obtain the determined result, a plurality of identification numbers and a plurality of number counts according to the identification numbers are recorded on the decision table, and the identification number is one integral code from 2 to 4 digits, and the number counts depend upon the dial states of the communication device.

Abstract
A communication device for transmitting/acquiring a phone number via a link network and method thereof are provided. In an embodiment, two communication devices are linked together via a link network to directly transfer a phone number stored in a communication device to the other via the link network. Further, the communication device receiving the phone number, can make a comparison according to a decision table to determine whether it is a diallable phone number, thereby providing a dial function or an edit confirm option for the received the phone number. In this case, the decision table has multiple identification numbers and their corresponding number counts.

9. A method of acquiring a phone number via a link network, suitable to be used in a communication device, comprising the following steps:
-
receiving at least one phone number from an another communication device via a link network; recording the received phone number on a phone number record list;
determining a property of one of the phone numbers to obtain a expecting dial state of the phone number to provide a determined result; andselectively providing a dial function and an edit function of the determined phone number according to the determined result; wherein selectively providing a dial function includes the steps of; when the expecting dial state is a diallable phone number, providing the dial function of the determined phone number and displaying a pre-dialled frame, on which a dial option is provided when the expecting dial state is the diallable phone number; and when the expecting dial state is an undiallable phone number, providing the edit function of the determined phone number. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
