Methods and systems for automated business dialing
First Claim
1. A business dialer system to search for a business phone number and dial the business phone number, comprising:
- a user input device to detect an user input;
a memory comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor coupled to the user input device, cause the processor to;
generate a key sequence and a number sequence based on the detected user input;
perform a search for business objects corresponding to the number sequence based on one or more data fields included in the business objects; and
a display to display a user interface, the user interface including;
an input display area to display the number sequence; and
a search result area to display the business objects,wherein the user input interface detects a selection of a business object, among the business objects displayed in the user interface, or a dial command, andwherein the memory comprises instructions that cause the processor to;
determine whether the selection of the business object or the dial command is detected;
perform an action associated with the selected business object when the selection of the business object is detected; and
dial the number sequence as a phone number when the dial command is detected without switching from the user interface displaying the number sequence and the business objects.

Abstract
Systems and methods consistent with the invention relate to automated business and service dialing. According to one exemplary embodiment, a business dialing system is disclosed. The system includes a memory configured to store a plurality of business objects containing phone numbers corresponding to a plurality of business entities. The system further includes a user input device configured to detect key presses. The system also includes a processor coupled to the user input device and the memory. The processor is configured to generate a key sequence and a number sequence based on the detected key presses. The processor is further configured to search the memory for business objects corresponding to the key sequence. The system further includes a display device configured to display the number sequence and the business objects. The user input interface is further configured to detect a selection of a business object, among the business objects, or a dial command. The processor is configured to perform an action associated with the selected business object if the selection of the business object is detected, and dial the number sequence as a phone number if the dial command is detected.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable device that stores a set of instructions which, when executed by a processor, performs a business dialer method implemented on a business dialer system to search for a business phone number and dial the business phone number, the method comprising:
-
detecting a user input on a user input device; generating a key sequence and a number sequence based on the detected key presses; searching a memory for business objects corresponding to the number sequence based on one or more data fields included in the business objects; displaying the number sequence and the business objects on a user interface of a display device; detecting a selection of a business object, among the business objects displayed in the user interface, or a dial command; determining whether the selection of business object or the dial command is detected; performing an action associated with the selected business object when the selection of the business object is detected; and dialing the number sequence as a phone number when the dial command is detected without switching from the user interface displaying the number sequence and the business objects. - View Dependent Claims (20)
