System and method for receiving and transferring a telephone directory from one cellular telephone to the same or another
First Claim
1. A system for automatically synchronizing data among communications devices, the system comprises:
- a plurality of mobile communications devices grouped into a plurality of subsets, said plurality of mobile communications devices includes at least two mobile communications devices corresponding to a particular subset of the plurality of subsets; and
a remote central station for automatically broadcasting data to the at least two mobile communications devices corresponding to the particular subset for storage of said broadcasted data within memories of the at least two mobile communications devices;
said plurality of mobile communications devices having a first communications device having a memory storing data and a second communications device in operative communication with the first communications device via at least one wireless communications link;
said first communications device having a processor capable of executing a set of instructions for performing a method comprising;
automatically establishing the at least one wireless communications link with the second communications device; and
automatically transmitting the data stored in the memory of the first communications device to the second communications device, wherein the transmitted data is received by the second communications device and stored in a memory of the second communications device, such that the data stored in the memory of the first communications device is also stored in the memory of the second communications device.

Abstract
A cellular telephone, system and method are provided which are capable of transferring a portion of or an entire telephone directory consisting of a plurality of telephone numbers to another cellular telephone via a remote central station. The remote central station receives the telephone directory and stores the same in memory for either temporary or permanent storage. The telephone directory can then be transferred from the remote central station to the same or another cellular telephone for storing the telephone directory within a memory of the cellular telephone. An individual, a company, or other entity, utilizing the remote central station, in order to store and transfer a telephone directory from a cellular telephone to the same cellular telephone or to at least another cellular telephone, pays a fee to at least one operator of the remote central station for providing and/or performing the receiving, storing and transferring services.
