Description

System, apparatus and method for input contact addresses easily}

The present invention relates to a convenient contact input system, apparatus, and method for conveniently inputting a contact in an IT device such as a smart phone, PDA, PC, notebook, tablet PC.

Conventionally, the most used method for exchanging personal information is a business card. The business card was used to inform the other person of his / her personal information by recording information about a person on a small sheet of paper and exchanging it. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to systematically manage business cards obtained through exchange. In order to overcome these problems with the development of computers, a software that makes it easy to manage personal information, Personal Information Management System, or PIMS appeared. There are many types of PIMS, but most of them start with simple memos in the form of text, and support most functions such as anniversary, business card management, appointment or calendar, calendar, and calculator. However, this PIMS is inconvenient to input all the information of the business card obtained from the opponent manually.

In addition, in recent years, with the advent of the Internet, e-mail in the form of a vCard has been used. Because vCards are published as industry standards, application software developers can easily create programs that can handle vCard specifications, such as showing vCards to users, or dragging and dropping them into address books or other applications. The vCard specification uses the person object defined by the Recommendation for CCITT X.500 Series Directory Services, and can be thought of as an extension of it. The vCard contains name, address information, date and time, and can optionally include a picture, company logo, sound clip and location information.

However, since the vCard only exchanges the sender's personal information at the time of sending the e-mail, if the sender's address is changed or added, the personal information is not updated until a new e-mail is received. In addition, since vCards can only be exchanged online, they cannot be used when face to face.

In the present invention, when writing an address book in the terminal device, instead of inputting a name, phone number, address, and e-mail address, the user inputs only one or two names or phone numbers or e-mail addresses, and the remaining items are automatically filled. It is an object of the present invention to provide a convenient contact input system, device, and method for easily entering a contact.

The present invention as a means for solving the problem, receives the basic information for the contact input, request the contact information related to the basic information to the service device, receives one or more contact information provided in response to the request to provide to the user A terminal device for storing contact information selected from at least one contact information in an address book according to a user selection; And a service device for extracting one or more contact information matched from one or more contact DBs based on basic information based on a request from a terminal device, and providing the extracted one or more contact information. To provide.
