Method for inputting and searching information about an object in a remote database
First Claim
1. A method for inputting and searching information about an object in a remote database, comprising:
- transmitting a first message containing an object ID from a mobile communication terminal via a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network through a mobile network operator equipment and further transmitting the first message over the Internet, and using an Internet-compatible protocol, to a server, wherein at least one word characterizing a name of an individual or an organization is included in the object ID;
receiving the first message at the server;
searching for the object ID in a server database;
at the server, comparing the at least one word with domain names stored in the database and, if domain names are found such that at least a part of the domain name matches the at least one word, transmitting to the mobile communication terminal a list of domain names, the domain names including URI'"'"'s/URLs;
if the object ID is found, transmitting a second message regarding a selection of the object ID to the mobile communication terminal;
upon the user selecting a domain name from the list transmitting a third message containing the selected domain name to the server;
at the server, performing a second search for the selected domain name and the corresponding phone number of a subscriber associated with the selected domain name;
if the subscriber'"'"'s phone number is found, transmitting the subscriber'"'"'s phone number to the mobile communication terminal; and
upon confirmation of selection of the domain name/subscriber'"'"'s phone number, initiating a voice call to the subscriber'"'"'s phone number via the GSM network.

Abstract
A method includes transmitting an object ID containing message from a mobile communication terminal via the network of the Global System for Mobile Communications through a mobile network operator equipment and by means of the Internet network to a server. At least one word is used as an object ID containing message transmitted from a mobile communication terminal. When searching for an object ID in the database the server compares the word with domain names. If the user of a mobile communication terminal finds a matching domain name, the server transmits a subscriber'"'"'s phone number to him. Then, the mobile communication terminal initiates connection to that phone number by making a voice call to the subscriber'"'"'s phone number. The method enables to expand functional capabilities, speed up search, decrease volumes of information transmitted, reduce load on telecommunications networks and their equipment.

5. A method for searching information about an object in a remote database and anonymous connection of network subscribers, the method comprising:
-
from a mobile communication terminal, transmitting, via a mobile telephone network, a first message containing an object ID and further transmitting the first message over the Internet, and using an Internet-compatible protocol, to a server, wherein the object ID includes at least one word associated with an individual; receiving the first message at the server; searching for the object ID in a server database; at the server, comparing the at least one word with domain names stored in the database, the domain names including URI'"'"'s/URLs, and, if domain names an found such that at least a part of the domain name matches the at least one word, transmitting to the mobile communication terminal a list of domain names, the domain names including URI'"'"'s/URLs; if the object ID is found, transmitting a second message regarding a selection of the object ID to the mobile communication terminal; upon the user selecting a domain name from the list, transmitting a third message containing the selected domain name to the server; at the server, performing a second search for the selected domain name and the corresponding phone number of a subscriber associated with the selected domain name; if the subscriber'"'"'s phone number is found, transmitting the subscriber'"'"'s phone number to the mobile communication terminal; and upon a user confirming selection of the domain name/subscriber'"'"'s phone number on his mobile communication terminal, initiating a voice call to the subscriber'"'"'s phone number via the mobile telephone network. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
