Abstract

A system of exchanging and managing information includes a mobile device configured to automatically insert, exchange and update a caller'"'"'s contact information into a user'"'"'s phonebook. The phonebook can reside on either the UICC card, SIM, USIM, Mega SIM, any other smart card or an integrated chip, on the mobile device or on a remote server. The automatic insert and/or automatic exchange mechanism is triggered when a call is made between two people on mobile phones or other devices.

Claims

1. A contact information management system for operation over a network and for automatically sending and receiving contact information between a first user of a first user device and a second user of a second user device, the system comprising:

a server comprising a memory that stores computer readable instructions that, when executed by the server, cause the server to;

communicate over the network with the first user device and the second user device;

detect a communication event relating to a communication between the first and second user devices;

obtain caller identification information related to the second user device;

cause the triggering of a prompt on the first user device, the prompt requesting permission from the first user to send contact information stored in a memory and relating to the first user to the second user device, the permission is requested after the occurrence of the communication event;

cause the first user device to send an indication that permission to send contact information was obtained from the first user;

retrieve contact information stored in the memory; and

cause the sending of the contact information retrieved from the memory over the network to the second user device after permission is obtained from the first user, the sending of the contact information includes the use of the obtained caller identification information related to the second user device.

2. The contact information management system of claim 1, the computer readable instructions being further configured to cause the server to cause second user device to prompt the second user to store the contact information associated with the first user in the second user device.

3. The contact information management system of claim 1, the computer readable instructions being further configured to cause the server to cause first user device to prompt the first user to update contact information stored in the memory.

4. The contact information management system of claim 1, the computer readable instructions being further configured to cause the server to cause the sending of an updated information message to the second user device to update the contact information associated with the first user in the second user device.

5. The contact information management system of claim 1, the computer readable instructions being further configured to cause server to cause the second user device to prompt the second user to store updated contact information in the second user device.

6. The contact information management system of claim 1, the computer readable instructions being further configured to cause the server to determine whether the caller identification information relates to a mobile device call identifier.

7. The contact information management system of claim 1, the computer readable instructions being further configured to cause the server to determine a frequency of communications between the first user device and the second user device.

8. The contact information management system of claim 7, the computer readable instructions being further configured to cause the server to, when the frequency of the communications between the first user device and the second user device exceeds a threshold, cause the first user device to prompt the first user to send updated the contact information stored in the server.

9. The contact information management system of claim 1, the computer readable instructions being further configured to cause the server to cause first user device to allow entry of a permission level for the contact information stored in the server.

10. The contact information management system of claim 9, the computer readable instructions being further configured to cause the server to send information associated with the first user device that corresponds to the permission level to the second user device.

11. The contact information management system of claim 9, the computer readable instructions being further configured to cause the server to store the permission level that corresponds to the second user device.

12. The contact information management system of claim 11, the computer readable instructions being further configured to cause the server to store a sent record to indicate at least one of a time of sent data, a destination number and a permission level.
