Full Text	A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE RECORDING INFORMATION RELATED TO A COMMUNICATION EVENT BACKGROUND 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mobile communication device recording information related to a communication event, and generally to the capturing, processing, mapping, reporting and displaying of telecommunication call events that occur on either landline or wireless communication devices (i.e., POTS telephones, cellular telephones,3G-based wireless data/telephones, etc.), where the information content of the telecommunication call events can be presented locally on the device or remotely on a desktop or laptop computer using a computer application or web browser that can interface to an online networked server. 2. Description of the Related Art Telecommunication devices, specifically wireless telephones, are achieving widespread use today. Such telecommunication devices are commonly used to establish communication between other telecommunication devices. Recently telecommunication devices are becoming more than just communication devices, but also a computing platform for executing applications similar to the early days of the personal computer era, where devices had limited memory and processing resources. The difference is that these new telecommunication devices, while currently provide a limited computing platform, also enable wireless data access to the Internet and expose the telephone's telephony functionality. These new telecommunication devices are well known to people that are skilled in the art. Prior art systems, such as customer premises equipment (CPE) enable the storage capability of caller identification (Caller ID) information of incoming calls, assuming that said Caller ID information is not blocked. For example, Lucent Technologies produces a model ISDN 8520T CPE that keeps a log of unanswered incoming, answered incoming, and outgoing telephone calls. Each call has a time stamp associated with it so that unanswered calls can be distinguished from available calls that have Caller ID information. When the CPE is used with a switch, such as an ISDN PBX switch, the CPE will provide each caller's name if it is stored in the switch's database. As individuals that pay telephone bills know, all of this caller information is also preferably included in a customer's telephone bills for the purpose of billing information and is well known to people that are skilled in the art. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) prior art applications provide a solution to understand customer related pipelines, such as sales or support team's pipelines. For sales, it is important to keep track of a company's Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities. Every Account has a Contact or group of Contacts that are associated with the Account. Every Opportunity has one or many Accounts that are associated with the Opportunity and indirectly have Contacts that are associated with the Opportunity through a common Account or Accounts. Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities have activities, such as telephone calls, that are associated with one or more of the Account, Opportunity, or Contact categories (i.e., a telephone call can be associated with a Contact that also has associations with an Account and an Opportunity). Prior art CRM systems are well known to people skilled in the art. US 2003/0073447 A1 discloses a positioning information transmitting device for transmitting current site data to a peripheral device using wireless signals. The device comprises current site positioning means and wireless communication means. It fails to teach recording data associated with telecommunication event. This document refers to a peripheral device such as a digital camera. It does not suggest improving the device by combining it with a wireless communication device capable of facilitating communication events. It does not disclose storing data associated with the communication event wherein the data includes GPS data and timing/date data associated with the communication device. The system simply allows an user to acquire position data of a remote device and recording timing data associated with the capture of digital images. A problem with existing prior art CPE and switch systems is that they only provide a mechanism for capturing call logs at the switch that the telecommunication device interfaces with. This is not practical with wireless telecommunication devices, since acquiring access to a switch at a base station is not reasonable due to the large number of base stations necessary to create a cellular wireless network. Also, accessing the call logs directly from different wireless or landline carriers introduces interface and connection issues, since carriers use different standards that are not compatible with other carriers. Another problem with accessing the call logs directly from a wireless or landline carrier is that each telecommunication carrier, which may be grouped in a local area or across an entire continent, would have to provide access to, or expose, call log information for their entire user-base on their networks. This introduces a significant privacy problem, in addition to requiring significant bandwidth to transport all of the users' call logs, since not all users on said networks will subscribe to this advanced service that integrates and associates call logs with database records. Yet another problem is that call logging by the wireless or landline carrier only provides call logs specifically for billing purposes, and the advanced Telecommunication Call Events that the telecommunication device can provide are not provided. For example, this invention provides a Telecommunication Call Event to include the GPS position of the telecornmunication device at the time the device received, missed, or initiated a telephone call, or during the entire duration of the telephone call. An additional problem with existing call logging systems, such as the CPE, is that the centralized logging solution does not always have the capability of being disabled or turned off. Specifically, this is the case for carrier specific switches whose main function is to record calls for billing purposes. By handling the Telecommunication Call Event recording (i.e., call logging) functions on the telecommunication devices, the authorized user can have the ability to disable the call logging functionality simply and effectively. It is yet another problem with the prior art system when a user owns or makes calls from multiple telecommunication devices (i.e., a landline telephone, a wireless telephone, etc.), specifically when the telecommunication devices are operated on different carrier networks, since interfacing with each call logging switch amongst all of the carriers that the telecommunication device connects with is a very difficult and daunting task. This problem is further exaggerated if the user owns a wireless telecommunication device with roaming capability and "roams" into a different wireless carrier network. With prior art systems, access to all possible roaming networks would be required to provide a continuous call logging solution. Another problem with existing database applications, such as CRM applications, is that the user is required to manually enter the Telecommunication Call Event associations (i.e-, such as telephone number associations) into database records, such as Contact date (i.e., vCARD), Accounts, or the like. Providing a system that autonomously updates the call history information would provide better real-time forecasting and reporting information. As people that are skilled in the art will agree, this significantly improves the effectiveness of such systems. Until now, an adequate solution to these problems has eluded those skilled in the art Thus, there exists a need to provide a solution that enables Telecommunication Devices to capture Telecommunication Call Events for enabling the association of Telecommunication Call Events with database records, which may include without limitation Contacts, Accounts, Oportunities, Forecasts, Leads, Tasks, Documents, Cases, other Events, or the like. This invention provides many important benefits for Telecommunication Devices which are an important and integral part of improving Work Flow-related processes. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for enabling the Telecommunication Device to capture all telephony-related events, denoted hereinafter as Telecommunication Call Events (TCE). In the preferred embodiment, the Telecommunication Call Events can include the telephony-related events without limitation as follows: Telecommunication Call Events (Example): • Telecommunication Device's Local Telephone Number and/or Unique Identifier (i.e., the telecommunication device's Electronic Serial Number (ESN), or the like). • Incoming Call's Telephone Number and Related Caller-ID Information o Related Caller-ID Information Includes: ■ Blocked or Not Blocked Caller-ID Information (i.e., indicating if the Caller-ID information is hidden or visible). ■ Telephone Number's Registered Name • The Registered Name may be either a personal or business name.

In this invention, the Telecommunication Device will store the Spatial Coordinates on the Earth (i.e., GPS coordinates or the like as well know to those skilled in the art) representing the location of each wireless base station the telecommunication device connection was transferred to and the associated time of the transfer or "hand-off' time. • Spatial Coordinates on the Earth (i.e., GPS coordinates or the like as well know to those skilled in the art) representing the location of the Telecommunication Device's Connected Wireless Base Stations) or Central Office at the End of the Call • Distress Call (i.e., if the call is a 911 or E-911 call or the like) • Information Call (i.e., if the call is a 411 call or the like) • Operated Assisted Call (i.e., if the call is a 611 call or the like) • Voice Mail Call (i.e., such as * 86 on most wireless carriers in the United States) • Data or Voice Call • Digital or Analog Call • Dormancy State (i.e., if the call is temporarily quiescent, but capable of being activated) • Phone Power-On Event and the Time associated with said Event • Phone Power-Off Event and the Time associated with said Event • Low Battery Event and the Time associated with said Event • Signal Power (i.e., SNR, Eb/No, or the like, etc.) of the Telecommunication Device and the Time associated with said Event • Entire or Portion of the Recorded Voice Message of the Telecommunication Device during a Telephone Call and the Start Time, End Time, and Duration of the said Telephone Call It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for enabling the capturing and logging of Telecommunication Call Events on the Telecommunication Device. As Telecommunication Call Events occur, they are registered and stored or recorded to a data storage device, located either locally within the Telecommunication Device or externally on a remote storage device connected to the Telecommunication Device through either a wired connection, such as the InternetAntranet/Extranet, wireless connection, infrared connection, optical connection, or any combination of the aforementioned or similar connections (i.e., wired, wireless, infrared, optical, or the like connection). In one embodiment, these local storage devices also include a flash memory storage device, hard disc drive, optical memory, non- volatile memory, or the like as well known to those skilled in the art. As illustrated, it is also an object of the present invention to enable the capability so that the storage of Telecommunication Call Events, which typically occur in real-time, can be stored on a remote networked storage device. In one embodiment, the Telecommunication Call Events are packaged and pushed directly to an online Internet-connected networked server that is connected to the Telecommunication Device using first a wireless connection through a wireless base station and then through the Internet to an online networked server. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for enabling the synchronization or transfer of said Telecommunication Call Events, where the synchronization or transfer of said Telecommunication Call Events are initiated based on 1). Real-Time Telecommunication Call Events, 2). Scheduled Ad-Hoc and/or Reoccurring Time Intervals, and/or 3). Locally or Remotely Initiated Triggered Events. The Telecommunication Call Events are synchronized or transferred from the Telecommunication Device to 1). a Centralized Server Computing System (i.e., peer-to-server connection), 2). a Distributed Server Computing System (i.e., peer-to-multiple servers), and/or 3). a Personal Computing System using a variety of different transport mediums, such as a wired, wireless, infrared, optical, or the like connection. For example in one embodiment, the Telecommunication Device can synchronize or transfer its Telecommunication Call Events using a peer-to- peer (P2P) configuration directly to another computing platform, such as a local PDA using a wireless Bluetooth connection. In another embodiment, the Telecommunication Device can synchronize or transfer its Telecommunication Call Events using a peer-to-server (P2S) configuration to an online centralized server for later retrieval of said call events and/or work flow status information. In a similar embodiment, the online server embodies a distributed server system for the purpose of enabling better Reliability, Availability, and Scalability (RAS) of the synchronization, transfer, or retrieval of said Telecommunication Call Events and/or work flow status information. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for enabling the synchronization or transfer of said Telecommunication Call Events in Real-Time from the local Telecommunication Device. With advanced wireless telecommunication devices (such as devices that provide simultaneous data and voice capability, etc.) or telecommunication devices with out-of-band data functionality (such as SMS functionality or the like), the transfer of Telecommunication Call Events can occur in Real-Time to 1). a centralized server computing system, 2). a distributed server computing system, and/or 3). a personal computing system. This particular object allows the storing of the Telecommunication Call Events to the local telecommunication data storage device for the purpose of ensuring the delivery of the Telecommunication Call Events. In most scenarios, temporarily storing the Telecommunication Call Events is the preferred method of operation in order to provide a reliable data transfer, which is typically necessary in a wireless environment. Whenever a Telecommunication Call Event occurs, the event is transferred, synchronized, or "pushed" in real-time to the accompanying receiving device(s). After the real-time transfer of die Telecommunication Call Events has occurred, a copy of the Telecommunication Call Event(s) may be temporarily stored locally for added reliability until an acknowledgement of the receipt of the specific Telecommunication Call Event(s) is received by the Telecommunication Device. Once the Telecommunication Device has received an acknowledgement or confirmation from the receiving device(s), the Telecommunication Device can then safely delete or remove the sent Telecommunication Call Event(s). If the Telecommunication Device did not receive an acknowledgment from the receiving device(s), the Telecommunication Device will first store, then forward or resend the data at a later time. This store-and-forward operation will continue until the Telecommunication Device receives an acknowledgement from the receiving device(s) corifirming the delivery of the Telecommunication Call Event(s) for the specific Telecommunication Device. This method provides a mechanism for ensuring that the transferred Telecommunication Call Events will reach their desired destination in a wireless environment that periodically has no coverage area or is subject to coverage loss due to a number of various reasons, such as multipath, blockage, etc. In one embodiment, when a call is received, that call's telephone call event and Caller ID information (e.g., telephone number of caller, telephone number of called telephone, time the call was started, voice call event, received call event, non-roaming call event, etc.) is transferred, synchronized, or "pushed" in real-time to an online server. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for enabling the Telecommunication Call Events synchronization or transfer process to be scheduled to occur at various reoccurring times or ad-hoc. Typically, for the Scheduled Event Model, the Telecommunication Call Events are recorded to the Telecommunication Device's data storage device in real-time as they occur, such as in a Flash Memory storage device, hard disc drive, or the like as well known to those skilled in the art. At a predetermined or scheduled time, the accumulated Telecommunication Call Events are synchronized or transferred to 1). a centralized server computing system (i.e., peer-to-server connection), 2). a distributed server computing system (i.e., peer-to-multiple servers), and/or 3). a personal computing system. In one embodiment, at the top of every hour the accumulated Telecommunication Call Events are synchronized or transferred to an online server. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for enabling the Telecommunication Call Events synchronization or transfer process to be triggered based on the detection of a local and/or remote event. In this present invention, locally triggered events may include Telecommunication Call Events, pressing a key on the Telecommunication Device, power-on event, low battery event, reaching a specified storage size limit or storage threshold for the Telecommunication Device, signing-in or executing an application or sub-process running on the Telecommunication Device, or the like. Externally triggered events may include receiving an E- Mail, SMS message, or TCP/IP or UDP command packet to remotely initiate the synchronization or transfer process. This command packet (for example, a SMS message) may also utilize authentication and authorization protocols and procedures in order to correctly identity and authenticate that the user or process which remotely initiated the synchronization or transfer process has the proper authority and credentials to initiate such a request. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for notifying and providing a confirmation message to the Telecommunication Device that recently had a remotely-initiated synchronization or transfer process performed. This object of the present invention apprises the owner(s) or user(s) of the Telecommunication Device that a remote synchronization or transfer process had recently been completed by an authorized user that had the appropriate credentials to make such a request The confirmation message may be digitally signed to authenticate that the sender of the confirmation message is an authorized remote system or user that initiated the synchronization request. This present invention allows the confirmation message to be sent directly to the Telecommunication Device's unique address, such as an SMS address (i.e., telephone number of the Telecommunication Device, such as [email protected]), in addition to numerous other unique addresses that are associated with the Telecommunication Device. These additional addresses may include the owner's or user's E-Mail address for the Telecommunication Device, or the IT administrator's E-Mail address that maintains the Telecommunication Device, or any predefined unique address (i.e., E-Mail Address, Pager Number, Telephone Voice Mail Address, or the like) that was set by a user that has proper authority and credentials for the Telecommunication Device. It is an object of the present invention to provide the synchronization or transfer process of Telecommunication Call Events or data related to Telecommunication Call Events using a wired, wireless, infrared, optical, or similar connection. For example, in one embodiment, a Telecommunication Call Events log can be transferred to an online networked server via both a wireless connection, such as when using a cell phone to a base station, and then through the Internet to an online networked server. In another embodiment, the connection to the Internet can also be enabled first through a serial, USB, Firewire, or the like connection that is connected to a desktop or laptop computer, and then through the Internet connection which is established from the desktop or laptop computer. In a similar embodiment, the connection can also be established wirelessly to either the desktop or laptop computer, such as using a Bluetooth connection. In a different embodiment, the wireless connection can be established using a Local Area Network (LAN), such as in an office environment. In a similar embodiment, the wireless connection can be established using a Wide Area Network (WAN), as with a cellular device that is wirelessly connected to a nearby base station which has an established connection to the online networked server by means of an Internet connection. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system to provide the association of either Contacts) to Telecommunication Call Events and/or Telecommunication Call Events to Contacts), in which the Contacts) are stored and referenced from a database, either locally or through an online centralized or distributed server. The Contact fields are searchable and capable of being correlated with the Telecommunication Call Events. For example, in one embodiment, a Telecommunication Device received a call from telephone number (732) 792-4265 on June 17, 2001 at 4:30 PM EST. In this embodiment, the Telecommunication Device received said telephone call and synchronized the Telecommunication Call Events information (such as, but not limited to, the telephone number of caller, telephone number called, time stamp when call was started, call duration, time stamp when call was ended, voice call, received call event, non-roaming call, etc.) to an online networked server. In this embodiment, a user is able to view using a web browser which Contact in their database initiated the call. The server provided this functionality by correlating the received Telecommunication Call Events which contained the caller's telephone number with the telephone number that was stored in the user's Contact database. This same object provides the capability for viewing said correlated contacts for said Telecommunication Call Events either locally on the Telecommunication Device or remotely, such as from another computing device or other Telecommumcation Device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system to enable users within a predefined group to share their individual Contact databases with each other for the purpose of providing a more complete and combined set of Contact Information (i.e., vCard, which automates the exchange of information typically found on a traditional business card) for the purpose of correlating said Contact Information with Telecommunication Call Events. Each Contact entry (i.e., vCard) has various user-defined permissions associated with it that defines how the Contact entry can be used by the system and users within a group. It is another object of the present invention to allow group administrators, or similarly authorized users, to assign permission control to users within the group. This permission control allows specified users to perform search queries, and view or edit other users' Contact Information within their organization. Every vCard contained within the group has a pre-defined owner of the Contact data where the owner of said Contact data is provided with inherent default access permissions unless otherwise designated by the administrator of the group or user. The permissions model includes, but is not limited to, the following permission attributes for each Contact entry: Full Control, Read-Only, Search Enabled/Disabled, and Modify. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system to search all of the fields contained in the Contact Information (i.e., vCard) for the purpose of correlating and matching with Telecommunication Call Events either locally in the Telecommunication Device or remotely on the server or other computing device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system to provide the association of Telecommunication Call Events with any public or private database record, specifically with the association of either White Pages or Yellow Pages (i.e., Points of Interest (POI)) information with Telecommunication Call Events and vise-versa. It should be noted that White Pages and Yellow Pages information is very similar to vCard information with minor field variations and a different data compilation process. The White or Yellow Pages data fields are searchable and capable of being correlated with Telecommunication Call Events. In one embodiment, a Telecommunication Device received a call from telephone number (732) 792-4265 on June 17, 2001 at 4:30 PM EST. In this embodiment, the Telecommunication Device received said telephone call and synchronized the Telecommunication Call Events information (such as, but not limited to, the telephone number of caller, telephone number of called, time stamp when call was started, call duration, time stamp when call was ended, voice call, received call event, non-roaming call, etc.) to an online networked server. Using a web browser, a user is able to view information about the White Pages (i.e., consumers and businesses) or Yellow Pages (i.e., business) listing that initiated the call using the server's capability to correlate the received Caller-ID provided telephone number with the telephone number stored in the White or Yellow Pages database listing. This same object provides the capability for viewing said correlated White or Yellow Pages database listing for said Telecommunication Call Events either locally on the Telecommunication Device or remotely, such as from another computing device or other Telecommunication Device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system to search all of the fields contained in any database record or field for the purpose of correlating and matching with Telecommunication Call Events either locally in the Telecommunication Device or remotely on the server or other computing device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system to log and process Telecommunication Call Events, such as a telephone number that the Telecommunication Device is able to establish a connection with while utilizing connections that are based on various types of connections and protocols, such as PSTN, CDMA, GSM, GPRS, iDEN, TCP/IP, UDP, or the like. This includes, but is not limited to: International Access Numbers, International Direct Dialing (IDD) prefix including the Destination Country Code and Phone Number, Standard Phone Numbers, International Phone Numbers, Information Call (411), Operated Assisted Call (611), Distress Call (911), 69, 86, 11-digit phone numbers in the US, *66, or the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system for the association of Telecommunication Call Events with Contacts that have other threads or associations with additional records. This object allows for the indirect correlation of Telecommunication Call Events with these indirectly linked records, which include, but are not limited to: Accounts, Opportunities, Forecasts, Leads, Tasks, Documents, Cases, other Events, or the like. In one embodiment, in a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application, a Contact is associated or linked to an Account. An Account (i.e., such as a Business Customer) may have a plurality of Contacts that are associated or linked with it (i.e., such as a business account having multiple points of contact or representatives). When viewing either the Contact or Account information, it is possible with this invention to view at a glance the "Activity History" for either the Contact or Account. The Activity History can display Telecommunication Call Events that are correlated with said Contact or Account, thus providing a detailed snap-shot of the recent interactions with the Contact or Account. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the users of the group do not have to manually update their calls with Contacts of various Accounts or directly with the Accounts as with prior art systems, since this invention provides an automated method and system for updating said Activity History automatically. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that enables notifications that are triggered by Telecommunication Call Events which are associated or linked to either a single or plurality of database records for the purpose of updating said database records by means of said notification. The notifications relate information or content to said Telecommunications Call Events. The notification can be delivered to the local Telecommunication Device and/or a remote computing device. These notifications can be displayed 1). in real-time while a telephone call is in progress, 2). immediately after a telephone call, 3). upon the execution of an application, process, or by opening an application window or clicking on an application link (i.e., such as a URL in a web browser), 4). at a predefined scheduled time period, either once or at reoccurring intervals, 5). at a specific geographic location or within a geographic range or area, 6). upon receiving an e-mail, SMS message, or instant message, 7). upon receiving a page, and/or 8). based on a user's current presence or status or a change in presence or status, such as Available, Busy, On the Phone, etc., or the like. In this same object of this invention, the invention provides notifications that contain associations, references, or links to database records that are somehow correlated to the recent Telecommunication Call Events, such as by a telephone number, on the Telecommunication Device that is registered with the user. In one embodiment, a user receives a telephone call on the wireless Telecommunication Device from a Contact at a major Account called "Acme Manufacturing". After the call has concluded, the system provides a notification display on the user's Telecommunication Device with a link to: 1). the Contact Information (i.e., vCard) for the Contact at "Acme Manufacturing" that called, 2). the "Acme Manufacturing" Account information, and 3). the opportunity information for the "Acme Manufacturing" Account. By means of the providing these three links (i.e., one for the Contact, one for the Account, and one for the Opportunity), the user of the Telecommunication Device is able to update the information that had changed due to the telephone call conversation that was privy between both calling parties. The user is then able to update either the caller's Contact information (i.e., the preferred Contact fields are illustrated in the preferred embodiments of the invention), such as a new telephone number, mail address, contact description, or the like. The user is also able to update the Account related information, during or after the telecommunication call, that was associated or had some degree of correlation to the previous Telecommunication Call Events, such as including, but not limited to the following: • Account Name • Phone Number • Parent Account Information • Website • Account Number • Ticker Symbol • Type (i.e., such as private, public, etc.) • Industry: (i.e., Telecommunications, Media, Manufacturing, etc.) • Number of Employees • Annual Revenue • SIC Code • Billing Addresses • Voice Notes or Memos • Text Notes or Memos • Images • Customizable Forms (i.e., Account Information, Opportunity Information, Contact Information such as vCard Information, Field Specific Forms, or the like, that is related to the Telecommunication Call Event) The user is also capable of updating the Opportunity Information that was associated or had some degree of correlation to the previous Telecommunication Call Events, such as including, but not limited to the following: • Opportunity Information: o Primary Information ■ Opportunity Owner (i.e., Contact Owner) ■ Opportunity Name ■ Account Name (i.e., the Account that is linked to this Opportunity) ■ Type: (i.e., new, existing, etc.) ■ Lead Source o Deal Amount (i.e., the size of the deal) o Status (i.e., Open, Pending, Closed and Close Date) o Next Steps (i.e., Need estimate Update., etc.) o Stage (i.e., Needs Analysis, Proposal/Price Quote, Closed Lost, Negotiation/Review, etc.) o Probability (%): (i.e., 80%, 90%, etc.) o Description In a similar embodiment of this invention, the user received the notification while the call was in progress on their laptop computer and was able to update the information during the course of the conversation. An additional part of this object provides for a user that calls or receives calls from a corresponding Telecommunication Device to receive a notification event based on recent Telecommunication Events that were correlated with database records. These notification events include pending alerts or To-Do tasks apprising the user of the Telecommunication Device that un-correlated information needs to be updated, based on recent Telecommunication Events that the system is not able to update and correlate autonomously. In one embodiment, a user receiving or making a telephone call to a single or group of users receives a notification event that includes a pending To-Do task after that call has been tenninated, determined by Telecommunication Call Events. The pending To-Do task requires the user to update the notes information for that contact in order to describe the call, through the means of entering information into text entry forms that are specific to the user's business, or by updating the deal flow of the account information for the particular account that is associated with the telephone number (i.e., Telecommunication Call Event). In another embodiment, while the telephone call is in progress a user receives a reminder to update text entry forms about the contact they are having a conversation with, such as updating the sales projections for the current account that is associated with the user. In another embodiment, after a phone call has concluded, the authorized user of the Telecommunication Device will be apprised, by the Telecoimnunication Device's program that is running on said device, that a user should create voice-recorded notes in reference to the phone call. In a similar embodiment, after a phone call has concluded, the Telecommunication Device's application that is running on said device will notify the user if they wish to copy and save for later access a part of, or the entire, recorded voice phone call and associate it with the contact corresponding to the called or received phone number. The recorded phone call can reside locally on the Telecommunication Device and can also be synchronized or transferred to the online server system for access via a web browser or custom application program running on a computing device which is associated with various database records, such as vCard, Account Information, Opportunity Information, or the like- It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that enables database records that have none or old time-stamped references to Telecommunication Call Events for the purpose of triggering notifications based on a predefined temporal threshold for the aging of each database record. This notification event can also be based on the frequency of Telecommunication Call Events that relate to a database record. For example, in one embodiment an Account was established with a company that represents a large Opportunity for the business to sell their product to. The account has a group of associated Contacts that are the key decision makers of the Account. Since time may be critical to closing this sale for this Account, this invention allows an aging trigger event to be defined and triggered if a user within the organization does not call the telephone numbers of any Contacts who are associated with the Account within the predefined time limit set by the administrator of the organization. In this embodiment, this can be used for capturing the Telecommunication Call Events for a particular user and can be applied to users in the organization or department, or to a single user that owns or uses a Telecommunication Device upon which the application is executed. In another embodiment, a user of an organization is required to call an Account at least once a week. If the user does not perform the task of calling the Account's Contact (i.e., from their vCard data) a notification will be sent to the administrator, or to the user that initiated the event, illustrating that the frequency of calls to this Account for the particular user fell below the set threshold of calls to this Account for past predefined period of time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that enables only one unique user account to be associated with one or many unique Telecommunication Devices. This invention allows multiple users to be associated with a single Telecommunication Device. However the preferred method of this invention is to allow only one user account to be assigned to multiple unique Telecommunication Devices (i.e., since users typically have more than one Telecommunication Device). This object of this invention also enables the prevention of a Telecommunication Device from being registered by multiple user accounts. This guarantees that Telecommunication Call Events that occur can be correlated with one and only one user account at a time, In one embodiment, when a user executes an application on the Telecommunication Device, the application will send a unique identifier, such as an ESN number, telephone number, or the like, to an online serer that will register the Telecommunication Device with the registered user that authenticated themselves and executed the application. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that displays an outgoing call history log of recent Telecommunications Call Events on a Telecommunication Device or other computing device, such as a desktop or laptop personal computer. This invention provides no limit on the number of outgoing calls that can be displayed. This object of this invention enables the display of outgoing call history, including additional information and/or references or links that are associated with the outgoing call history log item(s) of recent Telecommunication Call Events for a particular or group of Telecommunication Device(s). These references or links connect Telecommunication Call Events with database records through the use of common keys present in both the Telecommunication Call Events and the database records. This invention allows partial or exact matches of common keys. Common keys include Telecommunication Call Events, or the like. For every outgoing call history item, typically denoted as a Telephone Number, other information can be displayed through this invention, such as, but not limited to the following Contact informational fields mat are correlated with the Telephone Number: Title, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Suffix, Company, Department, Job Title, Street Address, Street Address 2, Street Address 3, City, State, Postal Code, Country, Address" Latitude, Address' Longitude, Address' Altitude, etc. A plurality of unique Contact records can be displayed in this invention. In addition to displaying the most prominent Contact Information, links (i.e., known as shortcuts) are provided for allowing users to update various additional database records that have an association with the Telecommunication Call Event. These additional links or shortcuts include, but are not limited to the following database records: Accounts, Opportunities, Forecasts, Leads, Tasks, Documents, Cases, other Events, or the like. It is an object of this invention to allow the updating or populating of the outgoing call history log information by1). real-time updates as Telecommunication Call Events are processed, 2). scheduled ad-hoc and/or reoccurring time intervals, and/or 3). running an application or process such as a button or link (i.e., URL) that initiates a call history log update from an online server or local computing platform. In this same object of this invention, it is possible to read database records, such as the Opportunities record database, which has a common association using the Telecommunication Call Events as the common key. Using this link or shortcut, the user is able to quickly and effectively review and update database records that are related to recent Telecommunication Device activities without having to first search for said database record information. The retrieval of additional database records can either be cached locally or accessed upon demand. This object of the invention also provides for mapping any database record mat has geographical information associated with it through the call history. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that enables the Telecommunication Device or other computing device, such as a desktop or laptop personal computer, to display an incoming call history log of recent Telecommunications Call Events. This invention provides no limit on the number of incoming calls that can be displayed. This object of this invention enables the display of incoming call history including additional information and/or references or links that are associated with the incoming call history log item(s) of recent Telecommunication Call Events for a particular or group of Telecommunication Device(s). These references or links connect Telecommunication Call Events with database records through the use of common keys present in both the Telecommunication Call Events and the database records. This invention allows partial or exact matches of common keys. Common keys include Telecommunication Call Events, or the like. For every incoming call history item, typically denoted as a Telephone Number, other information that can be displayed through this invention includes, but is not limited the following Contact information fields that are correlated with the Telephone Number: Title, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Suffix, Company, Department, Job Title, Street Address, Street Address 2, Street Address 3, City, State, Postal Code, Country, Address' Latitude, Address' Longitude, Address' Altitude, etc. A plurality of unique Contact records can be displayed in this invention. In addition to displaying the most prominent Contact Information, links (i.e., known as shortcuts) are provided for allowing users to update various additional database records that have an association with the Telecommunication Call Event. These additional links or shortcuts include, but are not limited to the following database records: Accounts, Opportunities, Forecasts, Leads, Tasks, Documents, Cases, other Events, or the like. It is an object of this invention to allow the updating or populating of the incoming call history log information by 1). real-time updates as Telecommunication Call Events are processed, 2). scheduled ad-hoc and/or reoccurring time intervals, and/or 3). running an application or process such as a button or link (i.e., URL) that initiates a call history log update from an online server or local computing platform.

Using this link or shortcut, the user is able to quickly and effectively update database records that are related to recent Telecommunication Device activities without having to first search for said database record information. The retrieval of additional database records can either be cached locally or accessed upon demand. This object of the invention also provides for mapping any database record that has geographical information associated with it through the call history. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that enables the Telecommunication Device or other computing device, such as a desktop or laptop personal computer, to display a missed call history log of recent Telecommunications Call Events. This invention provides no limit on the number of missed calls that can be displayed. This object of this invention enables the display of missed call history including additional information and/or references or links that are associated with the missed call history log item(s) of recent Telecommunication Call Events for a particular or group of Telecommunication Device(s). These references or links connect Telecommunication Call Events with database records through the use of common keys present in both the Telecommunication Call Events and the database records. This invention allows partial or exact matches of common keys. Common keys include Telecommunication Call Events, or the like. For every missed call history item, typically denoted as a Telephone Number, other information can be displayed through this invention, including, but not limited to the following Contact information fields that are correlated with the Telephone Number: Title, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Suffix, Company, Department, Job Title, Street Address, Street Address 2, Street Address 3, City, State, Postal Code, Country, Address' Latitude, Address' Longitude, Address' Altitude, etc. A plurality of unique Contact records can be displayed in this invention. In addition to displaying the most prominent Contact Information, links (i.e., known as shortcuts) are provided for allowing users to update various additional database records that have an association with the Telecommunication Call Event. These additional links or shortcuts include, but are not limited to fee following database records: Accounts, Opportunities, Forecasts, Leads, Tasks, Documents, Cases, other Events, or the like. It is an object of this invention to allow the updating or populating of the missed call history log information by 1). real-time updates as Telecommunication Call Events are processed, 2). scheduled ad-hoc and/or reoccurring time intervals, and/or 3). running an application or process such as a button or link (i.e., URL) that initiates a call history log update from an online server or local computing platform. In this same object of this invention, it is possible to read database records, such as the Opportunities record database, which has a common association using the Telecommunication Call Events as the common key. Using this link or shortcut, the user is able to quickly and effectively update database records that are related to recent Telecommunication Device activities without having to first search for said database record information. The retrieval of additional database records can either be cached locally or accessed upon demand. This object of the invention also provides for mapping any database record that has geographical information associated with it through the call history. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that enables the Telecommunication Device to update the local address book based on a statistical analysis of the Telecommunication Call Events associated with a user (i.e., since the user can own multiple Telecommunication Devices) or with the Telecommunication Device. The Telecommunication Device's address book is an array of Contacts that can be stored locally on the Telecommunication Device for the purpose of accessing the vCard contents in real-time without a high-degree of access latency as typically observed when requesting data through a wireless network. This object of this present invention provides the means for calculating which Contacts are associated with a Telecommunication Device's Telecommunication Call Events and the frequency and age of updates for the purpose of ordering the user's Contact (i.e., vCard) information from the most active to the least active for a given user. This ordering is calculated in real- time as Telecommunication Call Events are recorded. Since most Telecommunication Devices have a finite number of Contact (i.e., vCard) allocations that can be stored locally in the Telecommunication Device, a maximum number of address book Contacts has to be established and may vary across different Telecommunication Devices. Since the user of the Telecommunication Device can have a larger base of Contacts than the Telecommunication Device can support, this maximum number will artificially limit how many Contacts can be synchronized or transferred to the Telecommunication Device. The synchronization or transfer process for updating the Telecommunication Device's address book can be implemented 1). in real- time as Telecommunication Call Events are processed, 2). at scheduled ad-hoc and/or reoccurring time intervals, 3). upon running an application or process such as a button or link (i.e., URL) that initiates an address book update, and/or 4). based on a percentage difference threshold in which the current address book listing differs from the new address book listing, or the like. Thus this object of this invention uses Telecommunication Call Events to calculate and then populate which Contacts are stored in the local address book of the Telecommunication Device. This object of this invention also provides a provision to for certain high-priority Contacts, such as emergency Contacts, to override other lower-priority Contacts, in the event that these Contacts normally would not be stored in the address book due to storage size limitations, but are required to be store locally on the Telecommunication Device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that enables the correlation or matching and/or extrapolation (i.e., partial matching) of Telecommunication Call Events with either local and/or remote database records. Since Telecommunication Call Events vary across different Telecommunication Devices, Telephone (i.e., landline) and Wireless Carriers, Telecommunication Standards (i.e., CDMA, GSM, iDEN, etc.), or the like, it is paramount to provide a means to correlate either exact or partial matches between Telecommunication Call Events and database records. This object of this invention provides the means to allow partial match correlations between Telecommunication Call Events and database records, such as Contact, Account, or the like. The following points provide additional dependent objects that increase the accuracy of the matching of exact and/or partial match correlations with said database records: 1. Extrapolate NPA (i.e., area code) Information for Telecommunication Events (i.e., Caller-ID) when said Telecommunication Events do not provide NPA information for local calls. Thus, it is an object of the invention to add NPA information to Telecommunication Events that do not include said NPA information, where the NPA information is derived from the local telephone number of the Telecommunication Device. 2. Allow partial matches for Telecommunication Devices contained within a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system. For example, ANI (Automatic Number Identification or Caller-ID) provides the Direct Inward Dialing (DID) trunk from the PBX on which the call originated and not the actual PBX extension of the Telecommunication Device. Thus, it is an object of this invention to allow the partial match searches for telephone numbers that have a high degree of correlation to a particular or set of database records (i.e., Contact, Account, etc.). These partial correlations can be presented to the user in a different manner than exact match correlations. 3. Provide a mechanism that allows the user to confirm and/or correct partial match correlations and enabling the user to select the correct database record or records to associate with the exact or partial Telecommunication Call Event (e.g., a user can select from a list the Contact, Account, or the like, that is associated with the telephone number, etc.). It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that enables the user to match or choose which Telecommunication Call Events are to be associated with various database records. This can occur on the Telecommunication Device after a Telecommunication Call Event has ended (e.g., the end of a phone call), during a Telecommunication Call Event (e.g., during a phone call), or when a user authenticates and is authorized to sign in to a remote application, such as a custom application or web browser, for the purpose of updating PIM (Personal Information Management), or the like, information. For example, in one embodiment, a user can receive a number of phone calls from users that do not have any Caller-ID information and thus no phone number is provided. When the user signs in to their organization using a standard web browser, a list of uncorrected Telecommunication Call Events will be listed so that the user can manually associate the uncorrelated Telecommunication Call Events with current database records, such as vCard contacts, or so that the user can create a new database record, such as a user vCard or business Account, for the purpose of associating the Telecommunication Call Event with a database record for reports, notifications, or like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that provides a plurality of reports that utilize the Telecommunication Call Events for either a particular Telecommunication Device and/or user (i.e., which may use a plurality of Telecommunication Devices). These reports include numerous combinations of the Telecommunications Call Events, in addition to correlating said Telecommunication Call Events with a plurality of database records. Reports can be a critical part of this invention, as those skilled in the art will agree. Making use of a multitude of Telecommunication Call Events is only possible by recognizing and illuminating the patterns and frequency of Telecommunication Call Events with their respective database records to the end user in a clear and simple format, which would not otherwise be possible if only the raw data is displayed. The invention provides a plurality of reports, without limitation, and including the following: • Incoming Calls Report • Outgoing Calls Report • Missed Calls Report • Contact Reports o Contact Call History o Last Time Group of Contacts were Called o Total Contact Call Time o Contact Normalized Call Time vs. User's Total Call Time o % of Calls that are Personal vs. Business • New Account Report - Customers that are being Serviced • Active Contacts — Current Contacts that are Active • Neglected Contacts — Contacts that need Attention • Active Accounts — Current Accounts that are Active • Neglected Accounts — Accounts that need Attention • Aging Reports - Contacts, Accounts, Opportunity, Leads, Forecast • Return Call Response Time - The amount of time between a Contact calling a user and leaving a voice mail message, to the time the user returned the call to the Contact. • Sales Reports • Account and Contact Reports • Opportunity and Forecast Reports • Support Reports • Lead Reports • Fields Service Reports • Wireless Airtime Billing Report - Associated wireless airtime charges and the user appropriate account. • Opportunity ROI Report Based on recorded call information related to a specified Account's Opportunity that has Contacts associated with said Account. Each Account Opportunity has a monetary value and this report provides the Telecommunication Call Events information related to said Opportunities, such as including, but not limited to: Time of Calls, Frequency of Calls, Frequency of Return Calls from Contact, Return Call Response Time, or the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that provides a plurality of maps of varying resolution and size reporting events, patterns, and/or frequencies of Telecommunication Call Events and their respected associated database records illustrating a spatial thematic representation of the data. In one embodiment, it is possible to spatially view the call history for a particular user and their Telecommunication Devices over a given period of time. In another embodiment, a thematic map of Accounts that the business organization has won or closed is illustrated spatially, which graphically depicts the amount of calls and visits made in the process of winning each Account. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that provides a plurality of alerts and exceptions that are triggered based on the changes, modifications, or creation of Telecommunication Call Events and related database records. Alerts and Exceptions are configured by authorized users with the appropriate privileges to create, modify, or remove alert and exceptions for individual users of Telecommunication Devices. For example, in one embodiment, a user can request to be alerted when a specified Telecommunication Call Event occurs, such as to be notified when a call is made to a specified telephone number and/or NPA/NXX designation, such as with use a PBX phone system, or when a particular Contact is called or the Contact calls the user at one of their Telecommunication Devices (i.e., denoted as Telefencing). In another embodiment, notifications and alerts are used when a user's Telecommunication Device(s) have used a specified amount of airtime or bandwidth for a given period, or if the user's Telecommunication Device transitions from a roaming to non-roaming state or vise-versa. Additionally, this invention enables an alert when Telecommunication Call Events are made to a particular Telecommunication Device to notify a specific user or group of users that an action is required which is related to the user initiating the Telecommunication Call Events and/or to the user of said Telecommunication Device. In one embodiment, this alert can illustrate that a sales deal has been closed or moved to a different deal-stage. This invention allows alerts to be sent using various different commuracation methods, such as, and without limitation: E-Mail, SMS Messages, Instant Message, Telephone Call, Page, or the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that provides the capability to access or download related Telecommunication Call Events and/or their associated database records to a computer device in both processed and raw formats. In one embodiment, a user is allowed to download Telecommunication Call Events in a comma delimited format (i.e., CSV format) for the purpose of integrating said information into a spreadsheet for the tabulation of various fields that are not typically exposed through an online website report. This provides the user with ultimate flexibility in viewing the Telecommunication Call Events, such as the total call duration for a specified range of time. In another embodiment, downloading the Telecommunication Call Events and their associated database records enable the updating of Personal Information Management (PIM) applications, such as updating Contacts, Journals, Calendar Events, Tasks, or the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that provides the capability to for the Telecommunication Device running an application to perform searches which can be transferred or synchronized to an online server system for later retrieval via the online server system, remote computer, or on the Telecommunication Device. It is an additional object of this invention to allow the searches to be performed on a remote computer that interfaces with the online server system and allows searches to be cached on the online server system which are later synchronized or transferred to the Telecommunication Device or remote computer. It is a further object of this present invention to allow the searches to include spatial related searches, such as Yellow Pages or White Pages searches, or POI searches for creating Routes on the phone, in order to allow the application running on the Telecommunication Device or remote computing device to transfer the searched places to the online server system or remote computer. For example, in one embodiment, a user that is authenticated and authorized by an application running on a wireless telephone is able to access the Internet and search for a Point of Interest (POI) or Place (e.g., such as a restaurant, airport, or the like). Those searched Places are then transferred to an online server system. When the user is authenticated and authorized via a web browser on a different computing device that has access to said online server system, the user is then able to retrieve and access the Places that were recently searched for on the user's wireless telephone. Additionally, from the web browser, the user is able to save the Place information into their own personal database and add additional objects of information, such as text notes, documents, articles, or the like, about the Place. It would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that searches performed on the Telecommunication Device are transferred to a remote database for future retrieval from disparate computing devices that have access to an online server system that stores the data records. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system that provides the capability for searching Places (i.e., POIs), saving Places, creating Routes/Directions, and saving Routes/Directions using a computing platform, which may include a Telecommunication Device, that is connected to an online server system, and then accessing said saved or searched Places, or saved or searched Routes/Directions from a Telecommunication Device. It is an additional object of this invention to allow the accessed Places and/or Route/Direction information to be integrated and associated with the Telecommunication Device's specific interfaces, such as GPS, Address Book, Voice Recorder, Camera, Phone Capability, SMS, or the like. The associated data (e.g., Place and its associated Camera Image(s), Route and its associated Camera Image(s), etc.) derived from the Telecommunication Device's specific interfaces can then be transferred or synchronized to the online server system or remote computer. After the synchronization or transfer process, the recently searched Place and/or Route/Direction information that is stored on the online server system now has additional database records (i.e., Camera Images, etc.) that were derived from the Telecommunication Device associated with the Place and /or Route/Direction information. It is an additional object of this invention to allow a Telecommunication Device to generate real-time maps based on retrieved Places' address information which was searched or saved on the online server system. It is an additional object of this invention to modify driving directions in real-time, while using a Telecommunication Device, which are based on driving directions that were searched or saved on the online server system. It is an additional object of mis invention to create new driving directions in real- time, while using a Telecommunication Device, which are based on Places that were searched or saved on the online server system. In one embodiment, a user that has a dentist appointment in an hour first signs in to a web page by entering a username and password. The user searches for the dentist using the web browser that is connected to an online server system that has access to Places (i.e., POIs, Yellow Pages, White Pages, etc.) information. By noting the general location and area of the dentist office and without saving the Place (i.e., the dentist office), the user takes their wireless telephone with them and drives to the dentist office. During the trip to the dentist office the user gets lost and needs to find his way to the location of the dentist office. The user signs in to an application that is running on the wireless phone and retrieves his recently searched Places that were searched for on the web. The user is then able to quickly map the dentist office (i.e., the Place) and even directly call the dentist office (i.e., since the Place information contains the phone number of the dentist), in the event that he might be late for his appointment. The user can do all this from his wireless telephone without having to perform a new search on the phone or call 411 to get the dentist office's phone number. Additionally this invention provides the user with the ability to dynamically create a route from their current location (i.e., route origin) to the dentist office (i.e., route destination) without having to enter in the destination address, which is very cumbersome on a wireless phone. In another embodiment, a user is able to retrieve a Place that was searched for and saved to the online server system from their wireless telephone by simple requesting recently saved Places by clicking on a menu option on their wireless telephone. After retrieving and selecting the desired Place the user is able to take a picture using the camera that is integrated into the wireless telephone, and then associate the picture with said Place on the wireless telephone application. Additionally, the application that is running on the user's wireless telephone will then transfer or synchronize the picture to the online server system so that when the user accesses the Place using a web browser on a laptop, the user will be able to see the picture that they took associated with the particular Place. Similarly, in another embodiment, the Place was not searched for on the web, but instead on the wireless phone. In a similar embodiment, a recently saved route was retrieved onto the wireless telephone and a set of pictures that were taken on the wireless phone were associated with the route and transferred or synchronized to the online server system for later viewing.

This invention also provides for the synchronization or transfer of said Telecommunication Call Events either locally or remotely to another computing platform. This invention also provides the ability to associate said Telecommunication Call Events with various database records for a multitude of purposes, such as matching Telecommunication Call Events with a Contact database. This invention also enables associating Telecommunication Call Events with Contacts and other threads, such as Accounts, Opportunities, Forecasts, Leads, Tasks, Documents, Cases, other events, or the like. This invention also provides alerts, exceptions, and notifications that are related to the Telecommunication Call Events and associated database records. The present invention may be embodied in an online and Telecommunication Device application, such as the "AtlasBook" application owned and licensed by Networks In Motion, Inc. of Irvine, California. The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with references to Figures 1-30. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 illustrate high-level diagrams of a suitable computing and networking environment in which the various embodiments of the present invention may be implemented. The preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in the general context of an application that executes on an operating system in conjunction with a personal computer or server, but those skilled in the art will realize that this invention may also be implemented in combination with other program modules. Program modules typically include routines, programs, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. This invention is not limited to a typical personal computer, but may also be utilized with other computing systems, such as handheld devices, mobile lap top computers, wireless phones, in-vehicle navigation systems, programmable consumer electronics, mainframe computers, distributed computer systems, etc., and the like. FIG. 1 is a network block diagram illustrating the connection (125 & 101) of both wireless 100 and wired 126 Telecommunication devices to an Application Service Provider (ASP) 123, also referred to as an online server system. This online server system may be configured at a single location and on a single computer, or can be configured as a distributed computer system and at different locations. The wireless Mobile Telecommunication Devices 100 are wirelessly connected 101 to a nearby wireless base station 102, which are typically connected or have access to 105 the Internet, Intranet, or Extranet 106. Additionally, a landline Telecommunication Device 126 is typically connected to a nearby central office 124 which is connected or has access to 123 the Internet, Intranet, or Extranet 106. Additionally, the Application Service Provider (ASP) 123 also has access 109 to the Internet, Intranet, or Extranet 106. The ASP 123 generally consists of a front-end firewall and XML router 113 which itself has access (111 & 114 & 119) to other local computing modules, such as a database 112, POI server 115, geocoding server 116, mapping server 117, and webpage client server 118. The web-server front-end 118 can be connected to the outside Internet, Intranet, or Extranet 106 either through the local front-end firewall 113, or as in this embodiment, via 120 the web server 121, which is connected 122 directly to the Internet, Intranet, or Extranet 106 by using a software firewall which is well known to those skilled in the art. Additionally, either mobile 104 or landline 108 computing devices, such as a personal computer, are connected to the Internet, Intranet, or Extranet 106, either directly 107 or through a wireless connection 103 and base station 102. FIG. 2 illustrates a typical personal computer 150, that includes a central processing unit (CPU) 173, video adapter 172, hard disk drive 157, optical disk 158, serial port 159, magnetic disk drive 163, system bus 156, and network interface 176 → 177 & 167 & 169 → 109. The hard disk drive 157 typically refers to a local non-volatile storage system for storing large amounts of data, such as a web browser program files or cookies or a user's Contact data. The optical disk 158 typically refers to a CD-ROM disk used for storing read-only data, such as an installation program. The serial port interface 159 is typically used to connect 161 the computer 150 to external devices 160, such as a keyboard, mouse, and graphical touch screen interface, and also can connect 164 to positioning devices 165, such as a GPS receiver. The keyboard and mouse 160, amongst other input devices 165, enable users to input information into the computer 150. The connection 161 & 164 cables can include a serial cable or universal serial bus (USB) cable. Other input devices, that are not shown, may include a joystick, scanner, camera, microphone, or the like. The magnetic disk drive 163 is typically used to store small amounts data, in comparison to a hard 157 or optical 158 disk drive, and typically lacks the data transfer rates of those other storage drives, but it enables both readable and writable capability. The hard disk drive 157, optical disk drive 158, serial port interface 159, and magnetic disk drive 163 are all preferably connected to the main system bus 156 of the computer 150 for transferring data. A monitor 170 or other type of display device, such as a LCD display, is connected 171 to the computer system's 150 video adapter 172, which is connected to the system bus 156. Additional peripheral output devices, which are not included in this embodiment, such as a printer, speaker, etc., can also be connected to a personal computer 150. The system bus 156 also connects to the network interface 176, central processing unit (CPU) 173, and system memory 151. The system memory 151 contains both random access memory (RAM) 153, and read only memory (ROM) 152, that typically consists of the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) of the computer, necessary for containing basic routines that enable the transfer of information between elements within the personal computer 150. The RAM 153 stores a number of program modules, such as the web browser and synchronization applications 155, and the Operating System 154 of the personal computing device 150 or personal computer 150. One example of such a program module 155 would be a web browser that is connected to the "AtlasBook" server that was previously mentioned. FIG. 3 illustrates a next generation wireless Telecommunication Device 311 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which preferably includes a display 314, an antenna 313, and a keypad 312. The next generation wireless Telecommunication Device 311 & 300, as illustrated in FIG. 3, provides a foundation 302 for running programs or applications uiat can access the Telecommunication Device's 311 internal interfaces, such as the Bluetooth 309, Speech/Audio Codec 308, GPS Interface 307, TAPI (Telephony Application Program Interface) 306 Interface, Screen/Keypad API (Application Program Interface) or Interface 305, Camera API 304, or the like as well known to those that are skilled in the art As those that are skilled in the art will appreciate, a Telecommunication Device (300 & 311) will also include scheduling/timers 310 for scheduling specific events as is provided with standard computing platforms. Additionally, next generation Telecommunication Devices (300 & 311) have graphical user interfaces (GUI) 301 for applications to allow user input using a graphical display 314. As people skilled in the art will appreciate, these next generation Telecommunication Devices provide the means to access the Telecommunication Devices' internal APIs using a middleware 302 platform, such as J2ME or BREW, which are both well known to those skilled in the art. This simplifies the development process since there is significant support for obtaining developer's access to the Telecommunication Devices internal APIs, such as the TAPI interface for making telephone calls and capturing call logs. Standard Telecommunication Devices provide an internal call logging capability, such as incoming call history 400, missed call history 401, and outgoing call history 402. Prior art solutions enabled the storage of vCard contact data on the Telecommunication Device, which is usually standard for wireless Telecommunication Devices. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, this invention provides the means to first run an application on the Telecommunication Device for the purpose of collecting Telecommunication Call Events, by using either Telecommunication Device timers 310, or by having the Telecommunication Device trigger the application when a particular Telecommunication Call Event occurs, such as when a telephone call is received, transmitted, or the like. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the wireless Telecommunication Device 100 is indirectly connected to the ASP server 123 preferably by means of the Internet, Intranet, or Extranet 106. This provides a pathway for the synchronization or transfer of Telecommunication Call Events that are captured or recording on the Telecommunication Device to the ASP server 123. This transfer or synchronization process can occur in real-time or stored and then forwarded at a later time as previously mentioned in this invention. Once the Telecommunication Call Events have been transferred to the ASP server 123, the ASP server 123 can then correlate said Telecommunication Call Events with Contact data that is also located on the ASP server 123 system. Using the Telecommunication Call Events history, it is possible to correlate said history with actual contact data that is stored in the ASP server 123 system. For example, in one embodiment, a user many have 1,000 Contacts' data (i.e., vCard data) stored on the online ASP 123 system. As illustrated in FIG. 4 Contact data consists of various user specific fields, including but not limited to the following: Typical Contact (vCard) Data Fields: Title • First Name • Middle Name • Last Name • Suffix • Company • Department • Job Title • Business Street • Business Street 2 • Business Street 3 • Business City • Business State • Business Postal Code • Business Country • Business Latitude • Business Longitude • Business Datum • Business Altitude • Business SIC Code • Home Street • Home Street 2 • Home Street 3 • Home City • Home State • Home Postal Code • Home Country • Home Latitude • Home Longitude • Home Datum • Home Altitude • Other Street • Other Street 2 • Oiher Street 3 • Other City • Other State • Other Postal Code • Other Country • Other Latitude • Other Longitude • Other Datum • Other Altitude • Assistant's Phone • Business Fax • Business Phone • Business Phone 2 • Callback • Car Phone • Company Main Phone • Home Fax • Home Phone • Home Phone 2 ISDN • Mobile Phone • Other Fax • Other Phone • Pager • Primary Phone • Radio Phone • TTY/TDD Phone • Telex • Account • Anniversary • Assistant's Name • Billing Information • Birthday • Business Address PO Box • Categories • Children • Directory Server • E-mail Address • E-mail Type • E-mail Display Name • E-mail 2 Address • E-mail 2 Type • E-mail 2 Display Name • E-mail 3 Address • E-mail 3 Type • E-mail 3 Display Name • Gender • Government ID Number • Hobby • Home Address PO Box • Initials • Internet Free Busy • Keywords • Language • Location • Manager's Name • Mileage • Notes • Office Location • Organizational ID Number • Other Address PO Box • Priority • Private • Profession • Referred By • Sensitivity • Spouse • User 1 • User 2 • User 3 • User 4 • Web Page It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that Contact data has a plurality of telephone data, such as mobile, car, home, or the like, telephone fields in typical Contact data. As illustrated in FIG. 4 this Contact data may consist of Name (417 & 412 & 406), Account (418 & 413 & 407), Primary Telephone (419 & 414 & 408), Mobile Telephone (420 & 415 & 409), and Fax (421 & 416 & 410) fields, amongst other various fields 411 that were previous noted. Any given user can have a plurality of Contacts (403 & 404 & 405) that are associated with either a single user or group of users in an organization or across multiple organizations. This Contact Data can also embody Point of Interest (POI) records, such as waypoints, or the like, since a Contact Data record is very similar to a phonebook listing (i.e., White Pages or Yellow Pages). As those skilled in the art know, Contact Data, White Pages, and Yellow Pages records can be categorized together with very similar fields. As further illustrated in FIG. 4, the preferred embodiment of the present invention provides the linking, either by implicit or explicit threads or links (422 & 423 & 424), between call history (400 & 401 & 402) and Contact Data (403 & 404 & 405). For example, an incoming call history telephone number (949-555-1213) can be linked or threaded 422 to a Contact 403 or group of Contacts, which may include POIs, or the like. Additionally, both missed call history 401 and outgoing call history 402 can also have threads or links (423 & 420) to various Contacts (404 & 405) or groups of Contacts. In the preferred embodiment, a Telecommunication Device runs or executes a program that collects and transfers Telecommunication Call Events in real-time, on schedule, at predefined intervals, or the like, for the purpose of processing the data, in this embodiment, at the ASP server 123 system. This unique approach enables the ability to provide a mechanism on the ASP server 123 system to display said Telecommunication Call Events in a plurality of methods. FIG. 5 illustrates such a mechanism as the main home page 510 of a website after a user has been authenticated and authorized by the system. The web page 500 of the ASP server 123 system displays a row of headers, such as Home 518, Contacts 519, Leads 520, Accounts 521, Opportunities 522, Call History 523, Search 524, Find on Map 525, Directions 526, and Reports 527. Each main tab, such as Contacts 519, provides a submenu of information related to said tab subject or to the main essence of the application. For example, in this illustration the Contacts Tab 519 provides a submenu directly related to Contacts that allows a user to create a New Contact 511, New Lead 512, New Account 513, and New Opportunity 514. Also provided in the Contacts Tab's 519 submenu are functions that indirectly reference Contacts, such as allowing a user to view its Incoming Calls 515, Outgoing Calls 516, and Missed Calls 517. This page also indicates the name of the user that is signed in to the website 532 and its organization 533, in addition to the current date 534. Additionally, each web page 500 provides common functions, such as by the Setup 528, Help 529, Trash Bin 530, and Logout 531 links to other web pages 500. Other common features include the Search field 501, My Recent Contacts 502, My Recent Places 509, and the Last Activity 503 consisting of the user's recent activity within the web page 500. The Last Activity 503 provides a cache of all recently accessed Contacts 504, Maps or Places 508, Routes 507, Opportunities 506, Leads, Accounts 505, Call History, or the like. My Recent Contacts 502 and My Recent Places 509 illustrate a more specific cache of only the recent contacts and places, respectively, that were searched. It should be appreciated by those that are skilled in the art, that if you search for a place on the ASP server 123 system, and it is displayed on the web page 500 in the My Recent Places 509 list, the same fields are accessible on a user's mobile device. For example, if a user searches for a Dentist office on the website it will be stored as a recent item in the user's My Recent Places 509 list. When that user is on the move, the user can access this location on its wireless telephone by simply searching its My Recent Places list. This part of the invention allows a user to easily and quickly mirror and retrieve Hie recent searches that the user performed on the web site 500 for fast retrieval on the mobile telephone. As illustrated in FIG. 6, when you first visit the Contacts 519 web page 500, the information displayed is a table 611 that lists the contacts whose information was recently viewed on the web page 500. Some standard fields provided include Contact Name 608, Company 609, and Phone Number 610. This Recently Viewed 600 contact web page provides a quick glance at the most recently viewed contacts. Additionally, a user can request to view a list of their contacts unfiltered (i.e., "All Contacts" 601), or by other filters, such as "Recently Edited" 602, "My Recent Contacts" 603, "My Recent Places" 604, "Birthdays this Month" 605, Contacts "New Last Week" 606, and Contacts "New this Week" 607. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the "All Contacts" view 700 provides a detailed view of all of a user's contacts. This view's 700 data can be sorted by a number of fields, such as Name 705, Company 706, Group 707, Title 708, Phone 709, E-Mail 710, or Owner 713. Contact data can be sorted and viewed 701 alphabetically (i.e., A-Z), numerically (i.e., "123"), or viewed in its entirety (i.e., "All"). Each displayed set of contact data is numbered 702 and displayed to the user, and a user may view the next 711 and previous 712 sets of contact data easily. Additionally, the number of contact data records displayed at a time (i.e., per set) is preferably configurable 716. As people skilled in the art will appreciate, a user can edit 703 any contact or delete a single or multiple contacts 704. A user can also select contacts to be downloaded to the Telecommunication Device by checking the check box for the On Ph (on the phone) 715 field and clicking the Update 714 button. This enables the wireless phone to download the selected Contacts to the Telecommunication Device's local address book. As people in the art will appreciate, the Contact data can be compressed for download, and each contact can be identified by a pre-defined ID in order to allow for differential updates of contacts that have changed since the last download. Providing a full view of information about a particular Contact 800 is preferred in an address book application. FIG. 8 illustrates the main fields for providing said vCard fields. These fields include Name, Job Title, company Department, Birthday, Reports To, and Contact Source, as illustrated in one block of information 806. Another block of information 825 illustrates contact information, such as Work Phone, Work Fax, Mobile Phone, Home Phone, E- Mail Address, IM Address, and Web Page. Other information blocks include Contact Owner, vCard Group and Type 807, as well as information on the maintenance of the contact (i.e., Created By and Modified By) and its viewing Permissions 824. Address information is provided in separate blocks of information, such as Home 823 and Work Address fields 808, which provides the ability to map the contact in the application. Other contact fields blocks include a block 809 with alternate email addresses (i.e., E-Mail 2, E-Mail 3) and Pager and Car Phone numbers, and a block 822 with the Home Fax number, Anniversary, Spouse, and Children information fields. A final block 810 is provided for the notes field. The summation of all of these individual blocks of information provides complete Contact (i.e., vCard) information for any contact. A user can also edit 801, copy 802, print 803, and delete 804 the contact. Finally, an image 826 associated with the Contact is displayed to the user alongside the other Contact data. This invention also allows a user to obtain driving directions 805 to and from the contact In accordance with the preferred embodiment, the Telecommunication Call Events made to the Telecommunication Devices associated with the signed-in user that were initiated or received by the viewed Contact are preferably displayed, as all of the Telecommunication Call Events that were captured for said user are stored on the online ASP 123 system. For example, in one embodiment as shown in FIG. 8, the call history 811 is provided for the user 800 that had calls with 812 various other Contacts, which may be the same said user or another user within the same team as said user. If a Contact name is provided, the Contact Owner field 820 is also displayed, since each contact belongs to someone (i.e., another user which is responsible for the maintenance of a contact). The call history 811 displays each call's "From Phone" 815 and "To Phone" 816 phone number identifiers, as well as the start 817 and end 818 time of the call and the call's duration 819. This list only provides a subset of the complete call history for this Contact 800, and the user can choose the length of this displayed subset by selecting the number of records displayed per page 813. To view the Contact's 800 complete call history, a user can click on a button 814 in the webpage. Additionally, a user can also send an e-mail to this contact by clicking a different button 821 in the web page. As illustrated in FIG. 9, preferably all of the contact fields can be edited, except the Created By and Modified By fields. Additionally in one embodiment, each contact can have different permissions 903 associated with it, since a contact can be shared by a group of users if it is a public contact. In one embodiment, each Contact can be placed in a folder or Group 901 and each Contact has an associated Type 902 that can be changed as shown below in the following tables. Furthermore, each Contact can have an image (826 & 904) associated with it, which is uploaded to the server by clicking on the "Upload Contact Photograph" 905 button. The Path 906 of the image 904 on the local machine is displayed to the user in the web page. When all changes save been made, a user clicks a button to apply changes 900 using a mouse in a web browser, which is known to all people that are skilled in the art. As illustrated in FIG. 10, it is possible to create a new Contact 1000 and enter in all of the available information fields for a Contact, except the Created By and Modified By fields. Searching for Call History 1100 fox a team's members can be implemented using a date and time range. As illustrated in FIG. 11, a user can select either a predefined time range 1101, such as Today's date 1103 or can select from a group of time range identifiers 1102. For each search and in this preferred embodiment, a user is required to select the member or group of members 1104 and the type of call 1106, such as an mwming, outgoing, or missed call. In order to generate the call history view, after selecting the required fields, a user simply clicks on the generate button 1105. Additionally, this call history view 1100 preferably displays an overview of a team's members 1110 and their phone statistics, such as Last Phone Synchronization time 1111 and Last Login 1112 either on the phone or the web site, and provides links to view the call history 1120 for incoming 1121, outgoing 1122, and missed 1123 calls. This view can also enable the remote synchronization of Telecommunication Call Events by checking a box 1109 and clicking the synchronize button 1107. The team's call history information can also be printed by clicking on a print button 1108. When a Call History 1200 view is generated, it provides information illustrating the type of call history, such as incoming, outgoing, missed, or all calls 1201. The call history information identifies who the user had conversations with 1207 and can be generated for a plurality of Telecommunication Devices associated with the user's account. General call history information fields include "From Phone" 1208, "To Phone" 1209, "Start Time" 1210, "End Time" 1211, "Duration" 1212, and the "Contact Owner" 1213 of the contact if any exists. A link next to each phone number (both From and To) provides a way to Map (1215 & 1216) that phone number's location at the time the call was made or received or Map (1215 & 1216) the vCard's home or business address that is associated with said phone number. The number of call history records per page (1214 & 1206) can vary and previous 1204 or next 1205 page information can also be displayed. The entire or subset of said call history can be printed 1202 or exported 1203 by clicking the appropriate buttons on the web page. The preferred embodiment of the present invention also includes a find on map 1300 functionality, which, in one embodiment, allows a user to search and map addresses 1301, places 1302, area code and prefix phone number information 1303, and latitude and longitude map coordinates 1304. Every time an address is searched for and found it is stored for future use by the Recent Locations 1305 feature on the web page. This allows a drop down menu for users to select from a number of recent pre-defined locations that were mapped on the web page. When entering an address, typically the fields required are a street address 1306, city 1307, state 1308, zip code 1309, and country 1310. After all or a subset of said information has been entered, a map can be generated by clicking on a button or link 1311 in this embodiment. Finding a place or POI1302 is a similar process, but typically the only field that is required to be entered is the place name 1312 or description, such as the phone number, address, or the like as known to those that are skilled in the art. A map can be generated by clicking on a button or link 1313 in this embodiment. Additionally, a map of an area code and prefix 1303 can be obtained by entering said information 1314 and clicking on a button or link 1315 in this embodiment. In a similar manner, a user can enter latitude 1316 and longitude 1317 coordinates and click on a button or link 1318 in this embodiment to map the coordinates' location. For the case where a user entered a place name 1302 and requested a map 1313, if an exact match was not found a list of partial matches 1400 & 1401 is provided, as illustrated in FIG. 14. This partial list of information will highlight the closest matches 1402 and display a listing of the next immediate partial matches 1403. A user need only select a suitable match and click on a button or link 1404 to obtain a map in this embodiment. After a map has been obtained, as shown in FIG. 15, it will be displayed on a different web page 1500 illustrating the essence of the map 1506 and a mechanism to zoom 1501 and pan 1506 around the map. The panning 1506 is simply performed by clicking on the new center point of the map as known to people that are skilled in the art, or by selecting some other button in the direction of the desired pan. A user can add this mapped location to their Contacts 1502 or can print 1503 or E-Mail 1504 this map. Additionally, this location can be added to an origin or destination of a route for the purpose of creating driving directions 1505 to or from this location. At anytime a user can obtain a new map 1507 for another location. As illustrated in FIG. 16, one embodiment of this invention allows a user to request driving directions 1600 from an entered starting address (i.e., origin) 1601 to an entered destination address 1604. A list of recent locations 1603 is available to the user in addition to the standard fields for mapping a location, such as the street address 1605, city 1606, state 1607 and zip code 1608. A user need only enter the required fields and may obtain a map by clicking on a button or link 1609 in this embodiment. After a successful search for the locations of the entered origin and destination addresses or selected locations is completed, a route is computed and driving directions are displayed in a new web page 1700. The resulting driving directions are summarized by displaying the start 1706 and end 1707 addresses, total trip driving distance, and total trip drive time 1710. Also provided is another opportunity to add the start 1706 or end 1707 address to the user's Contacts database by pressing a button next to the address (1708 & 1709). As another means of summarizing the route, a map of the destination location 1704 and a map of the entire route 1705 are displayed. Detailed driving directions 1711 are displayed in a list with route maneuver order numbers, maneuver instructions (i.e., "Turn Left on Jamboree Rd."), elapsed distance, and a graphical representation of the maneuver (i.e., left turn arrow). The driving directions view can be printed with the displayed maps 1702, without maps and just as text directions 1703, or can be emailed 1701. FIG. 18 illustrates the setup view 1801 which offers options available to a user setting up its account, and displays the user's name 1802 that the options apply to. The setup view 1801 may offer options for the following settings: Personal Settings 1803, such as editing the user's personal information or password; Tools 1804, such as wizards for importing or deleting numerous Contacts; Phone Settings 1805, such as adding, editing or deleting phones associated with said user's account, or changing the user's mobile access PIN; and Administration Settings 1806 for authorized users, such as for managing the members of the user's team, changing password policies, and viewing login history and member statistics. FIG. 19a illustrates the various fields associated with a user's Personal Information 1900, which is part of a user's Personal Settings 1803. The user's Personal Information 1900 fields are very similar to those of a Contact, since in a team this user can serve as a Contact and said user's Personal Information 1900 can serve as that Contact's information. Personal Information 1900 fields may include several blocks of information. For example, general account settings (1905 & 1911) may be described by username, nickname, permission level, user account status (active/disabled), last login date and time, disk space used by this account, user's time zone, user's preference for receiving the company's product newsletter, and the user's typical schedule for consideration in reports. More specific user identification information 1906 can be specified by name, job title, company, department, birthday, the direct supervisor of the user, and the source of this user's involvement with the team, if there is one. The user can then categorize its own Group and Type, being its own Contact Owner 1907, and the user can identify its contact information as private if necessary 1913. A user's contact information includes the usual address and phone number fields, such as Work 1908 and Home 1914 Street Address, City, State, Zip, and Country, Work and Home Phone and Fax, and Mobile Phone numbers (1912 & 1915). Other forms of contact such as Email Addresses, IM Address, Web Page, Pager and Car Phone numbers (1912 & 1909) can also be included. For more personal notes, the user can enter information about their Anniversary, Spouse, and Children 1915, or miscellaneous information in the Notes field 1910. Whenever a user's Personal Information 1900 is created or modified 1913, the time of that activity is recorded and also displayed along with the information. Once a user's Personal Information 1900 is recorded, the user can Edit 1901 its own personal information, view or modify its Group Permissions 1902, view its Login History 1903, or Change its Password 1904. From this detailed view of Personal Information 1900, a user can follow links provided to map the work or home address, to send an email to a clicked-on email address, to visit a clicked-on web page address (i.e., URL), or to view detailed call history for a clicked-on phone number. FIG. 19b illustrates a sample list of Groups and their Permissions 1925, where each Group is identified by a pre-defined name 1926 and has a permission setting 1927. The permission setting 1927 determines if a Group, by which Contacts are grouped, is considered private or public. If a Group is made public, then all Contacts with that Group assignment are also made public and can be viewed in full detail by all team members. If a Group is made private, then all Contacts with that Group assignment are also made private and can be viewed in detail only by the Contact Owner. FIG. 19c illustrates an example of a user's login history 1950, where each login event is identified by the time the user signed in 1951, the IP Address the user logged in from 1952, and the result of the login attempt 1953, whether it succeeded or failed. FIG. 20 illustrates an example of a user's phone assignments 2000, which is part of a user's Phone Settings 1805. All of the user's phone assignments, that is, those phones that are associated with said user's account, are listed 2001, and each phone assignment is described by its phone number and the time the phone was activated on said user's account. A phone number can be treated as a unique identifier, because, as previously described, a phone number can only be associated to one account, although an account may have multiple phone numbers associated with it. A phone assignment may be removed at anytime by clicking a Remove button next to the phone number to be removed. A phone assignment may also be easily added, as illustrated in FIG. 21. A user may add a phone 2100, which is part of a user's Phone Settings 1805, for its own account, of for another team member's account if the user has the appropriate permissions. The user whose account the phone assignment is being added to is identified by displaying that user's username 2601. In one embodiment, to add a phone assignment the user needs two pieces of information, the phone number 2102 and the phone's PIN 2103. The phone's PIN 2103 is obtained during the phone application's registration process, which requires communication with the server to allow the server to authorize registration, ensuring the phone number in question is not assigned to any other user accounts, and to allow the server to provide the phone application with a valid PIN. The phone's owner or user then uses that PIN on the web page to complete the process of associating that phone to the user's account. This ensures that the user requesting the phone addition has physical access to the phone, either directly or indirectly through a communicating phone user, and is thereby permitted to request the assignment. To complete the addition of a phone assignment, the user enters the required information and presses the Add Phones button 2104. Once the phone number is cleared for assignment and the PIN is verified, the new phone assignment is complete. Another part of a user's Phone Settings 1805 is the ability to change the user's Mobile Access PIN 2200, as illustrated in FIG. 22. The Mobile Access PIN is the password used on the phone's application to access the user's account features, such as Contacts, My Recent Places, etc. The username 2201 for the user whose Mobile Access PIN will be changed is specified 2202, since users with appropriate permissions can also change another user's Mobile Access PIN. This may be useful, for example, when an employee leaves a company and the supervisor wants to ensure that the ex- employee can not access his/her old account anymore. To set a new Mobile Access PIN, the user enters the new Mobile Access PIN 2203 and confirms the entry by typing it in again 2204, and then presses the Apply Changes button 2205 to complete the change. For use by teams, a team administrator should preferably be able to quickly view and modify the teams account settings. FIG. 23 illustrates the Administration Settings 2300 that a team administrator can use to manage the team's members. A team administrator can get a quick overview of the team in a tabular format, such as that illustrated, which summarizes each team member's name 2307, username 2308, nickname 2309, account status (active or disabled) 2310, and permission level 2311. Each member's information can be edited, simply by clicking on the Edit link 2305. next to the member's name, or by clicking on the links on the member's name 2307, username 2308, and nickname 2309. Multiple members' password can be reset by the administrator by checking the Password Reset checkbox 2306 next to each member whose password should be reset and pressing the Update button 2301. This overview of the team's member can be sorted, by clicking on any of the column headers, such as Name 2307, and can also be sorted by a specific letter or numerically 2302. The number of team members to display per web page 2312 may be selectable and the page number currently being viewed 2303 is also displayed. An administrator can move from page to page using Previous Page and Next Page links 2304. Clicking on a user's account status link 2310 will allow the administrator to change that user's account status from Active to Disabled or Disabled to Active. Clicking on a user's Permission Level link 2311 will allow the user to change that user's permission level, giving them more or less account privileges that their current settings provide. For example, a user who has Permission Level Account Manager can be made into an Administrator in order to increase that user's access and/or control over more of the team's functions and settings. Likewise, a user may be given a lower Permission Level in order to restrict that user's access and/or control more over the team's and/or user account's functions and settings. FIG. 24 illustrates an additional safety feature that helps administrator ensure their users' account information is accessed only by those users. Another part of Administration Settings 2300, Password Policies 2400 allow an administrator to require that all team members reset their passwords routinely in order to keep passwords secure and less prone to hacking 2401. To do this, an administrator simply specifies an expiration period 2405, after which the team's current passwords expire. To ward off hacker attempts, the administrator can set the maximum number of failed login attempts 2402 before a login attempt is no longer allowed. This too is a setting that can be changed simply by editing the current value displayed 2406. Once the maximum number of failed login attempts 2402 has been reached, the user attempting to login is "locked out" for a pre-defined period of time 2403. This lockout effective period 2403 can be adjusted from its current value simply by changing the period value 2407. Any changes made to any of the Password Policies values can be applied by pressing the Apply Changes button 2404. Another part of Administrator Settings 2300 is being able to view Member Statistics 2500, as illustrated in FIG. 25. The administrator can get an at-a-glance overview of the team's usage of the application and the website and the amount of storage space currently used. This overview summarizes the whole team's statistics, such as by displaying the total number of contacts created by the team 2501 or the total amount of disk space used by the team 2502. The overview also summarizes each member's statistics in a tabular format, where the members can be viewed alphabetically, by a particular letter, or numerically 2503. Each team member in the overview is identified by its name 2505 and username 2506, and the member's displayed statistics include the number of contacts created 2507, the number of contacts synchronized to the phone 2508, and the amount of disk space used by that team member's account 2509. Clicking on any of the column headers sorts the overview list according to the clicked column data type. Clicking on the links where the data values are, such as on the team member's name or username, will link to more information on that user in reference to the data type clicked. Multiple web pages of members may be necessary, depending on the number of members the administrator chooses to display per page 2511, and the administrator can scroll to the next and previous pages using a link 2510, while the currently viewed page is numbered and displayed 2504. As people skilled in the art will appreciate, searching for Places and Trips (i.e., Directions or Routes) on a mobile wireless telephone is a daunting task, primarily due to the limited form factor of the wireless telephone (i.e., Telecommunication Device). As illustrated in FIG. 26 a wireless telephone 2600 is comprised of a display 2601 and a keypad 2614. As people skilled in the art understand, a user can maneuver around a wireless telephone's GUI 2601 using a rocker 2603 and a select button 2602 which simulates the functionality of a personal computer mouse. For this embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 26, a GUI 2607 is shown displaying a menu of options that illustrates a graphical interface for searching for places (2609 & 2611) and trips (2610 & 2612) and for displaying maps 2613 on a wireless telephone. This GUI 2607 is illustrated by magnifying the projection (2604 & 2605) of the wireless phone's GUI 2607 in order to aid in the illustration of this invention. In one embodiment, using a web browser it is possible to display a web page 2715 that illustrates the core functionality of finding a Place. A Place 2700 is typically defined as having a geographical location, such as an address which can further derive a Place's latitude and longitude coordinates. A Place 2700 that is derived from a realizable address can be shown on a Map 2705 of varying resolution and size. A Map typically allows a user to zoom in or out 2703 or to pan around the Map 2705. As illustrated in this invention, a Place 2700 does not have to be saved, as required by prior art systems. As people skilled in the art will appreciate, geographical locations (i.e., Places) that were found using the ASP system 123 aie cached by the system and displayed to the user in the Last Activity 2706 portion of the web page 2715. This illustrates not only saved and cached (i.e., not purposely saved by the user) Places (2707 & 2708 & 2709), but also saved and cached Trips (2710 & 2711 & 2712). Saved Places and Trips are accessible using the "My Recent Places" 2714 and "My Recent Trips" 2713 links from this web page 2715. The "Last Activity" 2706 preferably embodies all activity (i.e., in reverse chronological order) initiated by the user on the web page 2715 and on one or more of their Telecommunication Devices or remote computing devices, and which was registered since the user was authenticated and recorded by the ASP system 123. For example, a user may have searched fiom the Place "My Fishing Hole #2" 2708 on their wireless telephone and then searched for the address "18872 Bardeen Avenue, Irvine, CA 92612" via the web page 2715. This search is illustrated in the "Last Activity" 2706 section of this web page. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that this "Last Activity" 2706 illustrates searches from multiple computing devices that had, at one time, a direct connection with the ASP system 123. It should also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that any geographical search (e.g., POI, Address, Latitude/Longitude Coordinates, etc.), can be saved as a Place 2701 or waypoint. Additionally, any geographical search can be used as a route destination point 2702 (i.e., Start, End, Via, or Stop point). FIG. 27 illustrates only a Start and End 2702 point, however this invention supports Via and Stop points as known to those that are skilled in the art. Additionally, a user can initiate a geographical search 2704 from this web page 2715 to find another Place 2700. Additionally, FIG. 28a illustrates a GUI display (2800 & 2601) of the "Recent Places" 2801 view on the wireless telephone 2600. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that this "Recent Places" 2801 view illustrates Places that were both saved and viewed or searched on the wireless telephone 2600 and on the web page 2715. As people skilled in the art will appreciate, this allows a user to plan on the web page 2715 and view the results on their wireless telephone without having to initiate the search on the wireless telephone's 2600 application. For example, in this embodiment the user had searched for a map of the address "18872 Bardeen Avenue, Irvine, CA 92612" using the wireless telephone 2600, but also searched previously on the web page 2715 for their stored Places (2803 & 2804 & 2806) and searched addresses 2805 and POI's (2806 & 2807) that were done while signed in to the web page 2715 that was accessing the ASP system 123. Illustrated in FIG. 28b, after searching for a Place 2851 on the wireless telephone 2600 a user is able to display the Recent Place's 2850 detailed information. This information can consist of a business 2852 address 2853, telephone 2854, fax number 2855, e-mail address 2856 and a link to view a Map 2857 of this Place's location or create a route 2858 to the Place's address 2853. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that a route can be dynamically generated using the wireless telephone's 2600 GPS interface 307 to create a real-time route from the mobile position of the wireless telephone 2600. Similar to the "Recent Places" 2801 view, as illustrated in FIG. 29, is the "Recent Trips" 2901 view on the wireless telephone's 2600 GUI display (2900 & 2601). It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that this "Recent Trips" 2901 view illustrates Trips that were both saved and viewed on the wireless telephone 2600 and on the web page 2715. As people skilled in the art will appreciate, this allows a user to plan on the web page 2715 and view the results on their wireless telephone without having to create a Trip on the wireless telephone's 2600 application. For example, in this embodiment the user had created a Trip starting from the address "18872 Bardeen Avenue, Irvine, CA 92612" to the destination address "32314 Golden Lantern, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677' on the web page 2715 as illustrated in FIG. 16 & FIG. 17. The wireless telephone 2600 displays and can retrieve both the created and cached Trips 2904, as well as the created and saved Trips (i.e., Trips that were named) (2902 & 2903 & 2905 & 2906) from either the ASP system 123 or the Trips that were created and/or stored on the wireless telephone 2600. FIG. 30 depicts a Trip 3012 and Driving Directions 3000 which were calculated and displayed using a web page 3028 as known to those that are skilled in the art. As those that are skilled in the art will appreciate, FIG. 30 illustrates the method and system for creating a Trip 3012 with a plurality of destination points (3008 & 3010 & 3013) including a start point (3006 & 3001) and an end point (3016 & 3002). A Trip 3012 can be associated with a plurality of database records (3007 & 3009 & 3011 & 3014 & 3015) that were created and synchronized or transferred from the Telecommunication Device and were collected using the Telecommunication Device's specific interfaces, such as a camera interface 304 as illustrated in FIG. 3. For example, in one embodiment, a user plans a Trip 3012 on the web page 3028. The Trip has a travel time and driving distance 3005 as known to those skilled in the art. Additionally, the Trip has start 3001 and end 3002 points, which in this invention can be added to a user's saved Places using the "Add to Place" buttons for both the start 3003 and end 3004 points. After the user creates a route, they can journey along the route and take pictures or images using their wireless telephone's integrated camera 304. This allows a user to associate their Trip 3012 with the wireless telephone's camera. Each image (3007 & 3009 & 3011 & 3014 & 3015) that is recorded along the Trip 3012 has a time stamp and GPS coordinates that are associated with the image. Images with GPS coordinates are not required, but are the preferred embodiment for this invention. After the images have been taken, they can be synchronized or transferred in real-time or in a batch process to the ASP system 123. One the user signs back into the web page 3028, they are able to review their entire trip and the photographs that they recorded during their Trip 3012 in the order that they took the pictures. As people that are skilled in the art will appreciate, the web page 3028 displays a timeline 3017 illustrating the chronological procession of the trip and the start 3018, destination (3020 & 3022 & 3024), and end point 3027 of the Trip 3012, in addition to the images that were taken along the Trip (3019 & 3021 & 3023 & 3025 & 3026) that map directly to the locations where the images were taken on the mapped route (3007 & 3009 & 3011 & 3014 & 3015). It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the Trip does not need to be created in advance, since a Trip is defined as having a Start and an End location, all of which can be calculated using a GPS device, which can determine when a device, such as a wireless telephone, has stopped moving for a defined period of time or the like. This type of GPS application that determines when a Telecommunication Device has stopped moving is currently available in the art. One embodiment of this type of application that determines when a wireless telephone has stopped moving is known as the "AtlasTrack" application owned and licensed by Networks In Motion, Inc. of Irvine, California. When a user signs into the web page 3028, the user is able to review their images in a Trip or Route format which was automatically created by the ASP system 123, and displayed to the user for their review. This allows a user to view their photographs both chronologically and spatially. It should be noted that the present invention may be embodied in forms other than the preferred embodiments described above without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The specification contained herein provides sufficient disclosure for one skilled in the art to implement the various embodiments of the present invention, including the preferred embodiment, which should be considered in all aspect as illustrative and not restrictive; all changes or alternatives that fall within the meaning and range or equivalency of the claim are intended to be embraced within.

A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE RECORDING INFORMATION
RELATED TO A COMMUNICATION EVENT
BACKGROUND
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a mobile communication device recording
information related to a communication event, and generally to the capturing,
processing, mapping, reporting and displaying of telecommunication call events
that occur on either landline or wireless communication devices (i.e., POTS
telephones, cellular telephones,3G-based wireless data/telephones, etc.), where
the information content of the telecommunication call events can be presented
locally on the device or remotely on a desktop or laptop computer using a
computer application or web browser that can interface to an online networked
server.
2. Description of the Related Art
Telecommunication devices, specifically wireless telephones, are
achieving widespread use today. Such telecommunication devices are
commonly used to establish communication between other telecommunication
devices. Recently telecommunication devices are becoming more than just
communication devices, but also a computing platform for executing
applications similar to the early days of the personal computer era, where
devices had limited memory and processing resources. The difference is that
these new telecommunication devices, while currently provide a limited
computing platform, also enable wireless data access to the Internet and
expose the telephone's telephony functionality. These new telecommunication
devices are well known to people that are skilled in the art.
Prior art systems, such as customer premises equipment (CPE) enable
the storage capability of caller identification (Caller ID) information of

incoming calls, assuming that said Caller ID information is not blocked. For
example, Lucent Technologies produces a model ISDN 8520T CPE that keeps
a log of unanswered incoming, answered incoming, and outgoing telephone
calls. Each call has a time stamp associated with it so that unanswered calls
can be distinguished from available calls that have Caller ID information.
When the CPE is used with a switch, such as an ISDN PBX switch, the CPE
will provide each caller's name if it is stored in the switch's database. As
individuals that pay telephone bills know, all of this caller information is also
preferably included in a customer's telephone bills for the purpose of billing
information and is well known to people that are skilled in the art.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) prior art applications
provide a solution to understand customer related pipelines, such as sales or
support team's pipelines. For sales, it is important to keep track of a
company's Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities. Every Account has a
Contact or group of Contacts that are associated with the Account. Every
Opportunity has one or many Accounts that are associated with the
Opportunity and indirectly have Contacts that are associated with the
Opportunity through a common Account or Accounts. Contacts, Accounts,
and Opportunities have activities, such as telephone calls, that are associated
with one or more of the Account, Opportunity, or Contact categories (i.e., a
telephone call can be associated with a Contact that also has associations with
an Account and an Opportunity). Prior art CRM systems are well known to
people skilled in the art.
US 2003/0073447 A1 discloses a positioning information transmitting
device for transmitting current site data to a peripheral device using wireless
signals. The device comprises current site positioning means and wireless
communication means. It fails to teach recording data associated with
telecommunication event. This document refers to a peripheral device such as a
digital camera. It does not suggest improving the device by combining it with a
wireless communication device capable of facilitating communication events. It
does not disclose storing data associated with the communication event wherein
the data includes GPS data and timing/date data associated with the
communication device. The system simply allows an user to acquire position
data of a remote device and recording timing data associated with the capture of
digital images.

A problem with existing prior art CPE and switch systems is that they
only provide a mechanism for capturing call logs at the switch that the
telecommunication device interfaces with. This is not practical with wireless
telecommunication devices, since acquiring access to a switch at a base station
is not reasonable due to the large number of base stations necessary to create a
cellular wireless network. Also, accessing the call logs directly from different
wireless or landline carriers introduces interface and connection issues, since
carriers use different standards that are not compatible with other carriers.
Another problem with accessing the call logs directly from a wireless
or landline carrier is that each telecommunication carrier, which may be

grouped in a local area or across an entire continent, would have to provide
access to, or expose, call log information for their entire user-base on their
networks. This introduces a significant privacy problem, in addition to
requiring significant bandwidth to transport all of the users' call logs, since not
all users on said networks will subscribe to this advanced service that
integrates and associates call logs with database records.
Yet another problem is that call logging by the wireless or landline
carrier only provides call logs specifically for billing purposes, and the
advanced Telecommunication Call Events that the telecommunication device
can provide are not provided. For example, this invention provides a
Telecommunication Call Event to include the GPS position of the
telecornmunication device at the time the device received, missed, or initiated
a telephone call, or during the entire duration of the telephone call.
An additional problem with existing call logging systems, such as the
CPE, is that the centralized logging solution does not always have the
capability of being disabled or turned off. Specifically, this is the case for
carrier specific switches whose main function is to record calls for billing
purposes. By handling the Telecommunication Call Event recording (i.e., call
logging) functions on the telecommunication devices, the authorized user can
have the ability to disable the call logging functionality simply and effectively.
It is yet another problem with the prior art system when a user owns or
makes calls from multiple telecommunication devices (i.e., a landline
telephone, a wireless telephone, etc.), specifically when the
telecommunication devices are operated on different carrier networks, since
interfacing with each call logging switch amongst all of the carriers that the
telecommunication device connects with is a very difficult and daunting task.
This problem is further exaggerated if the user owns a wireless
telecommunication device with roaming capability and "roams" into a
different wireless carrier network. With prior art systems, access to all
possible roaming networks would be required to provide a continuous call
logging solution.
Another problem with existing database applications, such as CRM
applications, is that the user is required to manually enter the

Telecommunication Call Event associations (i.e-, such as telephone number
associations) into database records, such as Contact date (i.e., vCARD),
Accounts, or the like. Providing a system that autonomously updates the call
history information would provide better real-time forecasting and reporting
information. As people that are skilled in the art will agree, this significantly
improves the effectiveness of such systems.
Until now, an adequate solution to these problems has eluded those
skilled in the art Thus, there exists a need to provide a solution that enables
Telecommunication Devices to capture Telecommunication Call Events for
enabling the association of Telecommunication Call Events with database
records, which may include without limitation Contacts, Accounts,
Oportunities, Forecasts, Leads, Tasks, Documents, Cases, other Events, or
the like. This invention provides many important benefits for
Telecommunication Devices which are an important and integral part of
improving Work Flow-related processes.

o With a typical wireless Telecommunication Device, it is
possible for the telecommunication device connection to be
transferred from one wireless base station to another during
a telephone call (i.e., for either voice or data calls). In this
invention, the Telecommunication Device will store the
Spatial Coordinates on the Earth (i.e., GPS coordinates or
the like as well know to those skilled in the art)
representing the location of each wireless base station the
telecommunication device connection was transferred to
and the associated time of the transfer or "hand-off' time.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
for enabling the capturing and logging of Telecommunication Call Events on
the Telecommunication Device. As Telecommunication Call Events occur,
they are registered and stored or recorded to a data storage device, located
either locally within the Telecommunication Device or externally on a remote
storage device connected to the Telecommunication Device through either a
wired connection, such as the InternetAntranet/Extranet, wireless connection,
infrared connection, optical connection, or any combination of the

aforementioned or similar connections (i.e., wired, wireless, infrared, optical,
or the like connection). In one embodiment, these local storage devices also
include a flash memory storage device, hard disc drive, optical memory, non-
volatile memory, or the like as well known to those skilled in the art. As
illustrated, it is also an object of the present invention to enable the capability
so that the storage of Telecommunication Call Events, which typically occur
in real-time, can be stored on a remote networked storage device. In one
embodiment, the Telecommunication Call Events are packaged and pushed
directly to an online Internet-connected networked server that is connected to
the Telecommunication Device using first a wireless connection through a
wireless base station and then through the Internet to an online networked
server.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
for enabling the synchronization or transfer of said Telecommunication Call
Events, where the synchronization or transfer of said Telecommunication Call
Events are initiated based on 1). Real-Time Telecommunication Call Events,
2). Scheduled Ad-Hoc and/or Reoccurring Time Intervals, and/or 3). Locally
or Remotely Initiated Triggered Events. The Telecommunication Call Events
are synchronized or transferred from the Telecommunication Device to 1). a
Centralized Server Computing System (i.e., peer-to-server connection), 2). a
Distributed Server Computing System (i.e., peer-to-multiple servers), and/or
3). a Personal Computing System using a variety of different transport
mediums, such as a wired, wireless, infrared, optical, or the like connection.
For example in one embodiment, the Telecommunication Device can
synchronize or transfer its Telecommunication Call Events using a peer-to-
peer (P2P) configuration directly to another computing platform, such as a
local PDA using a wireless Bluetooth connection. In another embodiment, the
Telecommunication Device can synchronize or transfer its
Telecommunication Call Events using a peer-to-server (P2S) configuration to
an online centralized server for later retrieval of said call events and/or work
flow status information. In a similar embodiment, the online server embodies a
distributed server system for the purpose of enabling better Reliability,
Availability, and Scalability (RAS) of the synchronization, transfer, or

retrieval of said Telecommunication Call Events and/or work flow status
information.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
for enabling the synchronization or transfer of said Telecommunication Call
Events in Real-Time from the local Telecommunication Device.
With advanced wireless telecommunication devices (such as devices
that provide simultaneous data and voice capability, etc.) or
telecommunication devices with out-of-band data functionality (such as SMS
functionality or the like), the transfer of Telecommunication Call Events can
occur in Real-Time to 1). a centralized server computing system, 2). a
distributed server computing system, and/or 3). a personal computing system.
This particular object allows the storing of the Telecommunication Call Events
to the local telecommunication data storage device for the purpose of ensuring
the delivery of the Telecommunication Call Events. In most scenarios,
temporarily storing the Telecommunication Call Events is the preferred
method of operation in order to provide a reliable data transfer, which is
typically necessary in a wireless environment. Whenever a
Telecommunication Call Event occurs, the event is transferred, synchronized,
or "pushed" in real-time to the accompanying receiving device(s). After the
real-time transfer of die Telecommunication Call Events has occurred, a copy
of the Telecommunication Call Event(s) may be temporarily stored locally for
added reliability until an acknowledgement of the receipt of the specific
Telecommunication Call Event(s) is received by the Telecommunication
Device. Once the Telecommunication Device has received an
acknowledgement or confirmation from the receiving device(s), the
Telecommunication Device can then safely delete or remove the sent
Telecommunication Call Event(s). If the Telecommunication Device did not
receive an acknowledgment from the receiving device(s), the
Telecommunication Device will first store, then forward or resend the data at a
later time. This store-and-forward operation will continue until the
Telecommunication Device receives an acknowledgement from the receiving
device(s) corifirming the delivery of the Telecommunication Call Event(s) for
the specific Telecommunication Device. This method provides a mechanism

for ensuring that the transferred Telecommunication Call Events will reach
their desired destination in a wireless environment that periodically has no
coverage area or is subject to coverage loss due to a number of various
reasons, such as multipath, blockage, etc. In one embodiment, when a call is
received, that call's telephone call event and Caller ID information (e.g.,
telephone number of caller, telephone number of called telephone, time the
call was started, voice call event, received call event, non-roaming call event,
etc.) is transferred, synchronized, or "pushed" in real-time to an online server.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
for enabling the Telecommunication Call Events synchronization or transfer
process to be scheduled to occur at various reoccurring times or ad-hoc.
Typically, for the Scheduled Event Model, the Telecommunication Call
Events are recorded to the Telecommunication Device's data storage device in
real-time as they occur, such as in a Flash Memory storage device, hard disc
drive, or the like as well known to those skilled in the art. At a predetermined
or scheduled time, the accumulated Telecommunication Call Events are
synchronized or transferred to 1). a centralized server computing system (i.e.,
peer-to-server connection), 2). a distributed server computing system (i.e.,
peer-to-multiple servers), and/or 3). a personal computing system. In one
embodiment, at the top of every hour the accumulated Telecommunication
Call Events are synchronized or transferred to an online server.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
for enabling the Telecommunication Call Events synchronization or transfer
process to be triggered based on the detection of a local and/or remote event.
In this present invention, locally triggered events may include
Telecommunication Call Events, pressing a key on the Telecommunication
Device, power-on event, low battery event, reaching a specified storage size
limit or storage threshold for the Telecommunication Device, signing-in or
executing an application or sub-process running on the Telecommunication
Device, or the like. Externally triggered events may include receiving an E-
Mail, SMS message, or TCP/IP or UDP command packet to remotely initiate
the synchronization or transfer process. This command packet (for example, a
SMS message) may also utilize authentication and authorization protocols and

procedures in order to correctly identity and authenticate that the user or
process which remotely initiated the synchronization or transfer process has
the proper authority and credentials to initiate such a request.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
for notifying and providing a confirmation message to the Telecommunication
Device that recently had a remotely-initiated synchronization or transfer
process performed. This object of the present invention apprises the owner(s)
or user(s) of the Telecommunication Device that a remote synchronization or
transfer process had recently been completed by an authorized user that had
the appropriate credentials to make such a request The confirmation message
may be digitally signed to authenticate that the sender of the confirmation
message is an authorized remote system or user that initiated the
synchronization request. This present invention allows the confirmation
message to be sent directly to the Telecommunication Device's unique
address, such as an SMS address (i.e., telephone number of the
Telecommunication Device, such as [email protected]), in
addition to numerous other unique addresses that are associated with the
Telecommunication Device. These additional addresses may include the
owner's or user's E-Mail address for the Telecommunication Device, or the IT
administrator's E-Mail address that maintains the Telecommunication Device,
or any predefined unique address (i.e., E-Mail Address, Pager Number,
Telephone Voice Mail Address, or the like) that was set by a user that has
proper authority and credentials for the Telecommunication Device.
It is an object of the present invention to provide the synchronization
or transfer process of Telecommunication Call Events or data related to
Telecommunication Call Events using a wired, wireless, infrared, optical, or
similar connection. For example, in one embodiment, a Telecommunication
Call Events log can be transferred to an online networked server via both a
wireless connection, such as when using a cell phone to a base station, and
then through the Internet to an online networked server. In another
embodiment, the connection to the Internet can also be enabled first through a
serial, USB, Firewire, or the like connection that is connected to a desktop or
laptop computer, and then through the Internet connection which is established

from the desktop or laptop computer. In a similar embodiment, the connection
can also be established wirelessly to either the desktop or laptop computer,
such as using a Bluetooth connection. In a different embodiment, the wireless
connection can be established using a Local Area Network (LAN), such as in
an office environment. In a similar embodiment, the wireless connection can
be established using a Wide Area Network (WAN), as with a cellular device
that is wirelessly connected to a nearby base station which has an established
connection to the online networked server by means of an Internet connection.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
to provide the association of either Contacts) to Telecommunication Call
Events and/or Telecommunication Call Events to Contacts), in which the
Contacts) are stored and referenced from a database, either locally or through
an online centralized or distributed server. The Contact fields are searchable
and capable of being correlated with the Telecommunication Call Events. For
example, in one embodiment, a Telecommunication Device received a call
from telephone number (732) 792-4265 on June 17, 2001 at 4:30 PM EST. In
this embodiment, the Telecommunication Device received said telephone call
and synchronized the Telecommunication Call Events information (such as,
but not limited to, the telephone number of caller, telephone number called,
time stamp when call was started, call duration, time stamp when call was
ended, voice call, received call event, non-roaming call, etc.) to an online
networked server. In this embodiment, a user is able to view using a web
browser which Contact in their database initiated the call. The server provided
this functionality by correlating the received Telecommunication Call Events
which contained the caller's telephone number with the telephone number that
was stored in the user's Contact database. This same object provides the
capability for viewing said correlated contacts for said Telecommunication
Call Events either locally on the Telecommunication Device or remotely, such
as from another computing device or other Telecommumcation Device.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
to enable users within a predefined group to share their individual Contact
databases with each other for the purpose of providing a more complete and
combined set of Contact Information (i.e., vCard, which automates the

exchange of information typically found on a traditional business card) for the
purpose of correlating said Contact Information with Telecommunication Call
Events. Each Contact entry (i.e., vCard) has various user-defined permissions
associated with it that defines how the Contact entry can be used by the system
and users within a group. It is another object of the present invention to allow
group administrators, or similarly authorized users, to assign permission
control to users within the group. This permission control allows specified
users to perform search queries, and view or edit other users' Contact
Information within their organization. Every vCard contained within the group
has a pre-defined owner of the Contact data where the owner of said Contact
data is provided with inherent default access permissions unless otherwise
designated by the administrator of the group or user. The permissions model
includes, but is not limited to, the following permission attributes for each
Contact entry: Full Control, Read-Only, Search Enabled/Disabled, and
Modify.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
to search all of the fields contained in the Contact Information (i.e., vCard) for
the purpose of correlating and matching with Telecommunication Call Events
either locally in the Telecommunication Device or remotely on the server or
other computing device.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
to provide the association of Telecommunication Call Events with any public
or private database record, specifically with the association of either White
Pages or Yellow Pages (i.e., Points of Interest (POI)) information with
Telecommunication Call Events and vise-versa. It should be noted that White
Pages and Yellow Pages information is very similar to vCard information with
minor field variations and a different data compilation process. The White or
Yellow Pages data fields are searchable and capable of being correlated with
Telecommunication Call Events. In one embodiment, a Telecommunication
Device received a call from telephone number (732) 792-4265 on June 17,
2001 at 4:30 PM EST. In this embodiment, the Telecommunication Device
received said telephone call and synchronized the Telecommunication Call
Events information (such as, but not limited to, the telephone number of caller,

telephone number of called, time stamp when call was started, call duration,
time stamp when call was ended, voice call, received call event, non-roaming
call, etc.) to an online networked server. Using a web browser, a user is able to
view information about the White Pages (i.e., consumers and businesses) or
Yellow Pages (i.e., business) listing that initiated the call using the server's
capability to correlate the received Caller-ID provided telephone number with
the telephone number stored in the White or Yellow Pages database listing.
This same object provides the capability for viewing said correlated White or
Yellow Pages database listing for said Telecommunication Call Events either
locally on the Telecommunication Device or remotely, such as from another
computing device or other Telecommunication Device.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
to search all of the fields contained in any database record or field for the
purpose of correlating and matching with Telecommunication Call Events
either locally in the Telecommunication Device or remotely on the server or
other computing device.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
to log and process Telecommunication Call Events, such as a telephone
number that the Telecommunication Device is able to establish a connection
with while utilizing connections that are based on various types of connections
and protocols, such as PSTN, CDMA, GSM, GPRS, iDEN, TCP/IP, UDP, or
the like. This includes, but is not limited to: International Access Numbers,
International Direct Dialing (IDD) prefix including the Destination Country
Code and Phone Number, Standard Phone Numbers, International Phone
Numbers, Information Call (411), Operated Assisted Call (611), Distress Call
(911), *69, *86, 11-digit phone numbers in the US, *66, or the like.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
for the association of Telecommunication Call Events with Contacts that have
other threads or associations with additional records. This object allows for the
indirect correlation of Telecommunication Call Events with these indirectly
linked records, which include, but are not limited to: Accounts, Opportunities,
Forecasts, Leads, Tasks, Documents, Cases, other Events, or the like. In one
embodiment, in a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) application, a

Contact is associated or linked to an Account. An Account (i.e., such as a
Business Customer) may have a plurality of Contacts that are associated or
linked with it (i.e., such as a business account having multiple points of
contact or representatives). When viewing either the Contact or Account
information, it is possible with this invention to view at a glance the "Activity
History" for either the Contact or Account. The Activity History can display
Telecommunication Call Events that are correlated with said Contact or
Account, thus providing a detailed snap-shot of the recent interactions with the
Contact or Account. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the
users of the group do not have to manually update their calls with Contacts of
various Accounts or directly with the Accounts as with prior art systems, since
this invention provides an automated method and system for updating said
Activity History automatically.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that enables notifications that are triggered by Telecommunication Call Events
which are associated or linked to either a single or plurality of database
records for the purpose of updating said database records by means of said
notification. The notifications relate information or content to said
Telecommunications Call Events. The notification can be delivered to the
local Telecommunication Device and/or a remote computing device. These
notifications can be displayed 1). in real-time while a telephone call is in
progress, 2). immediately after a telephone call, 3). upon the execution of an
application, process, or by opening an application window or clicking on an
application link (i.e., such as a URL in a web browser), 4). at a predefined
scheduled time period, either once or at reoccurring intervals, 5). at a specific
geographic location or within a geographic range or area, 6). upon receiving
an e-mail, SMS message, or instant message, 7). upon receiving a page, and/or
8). based on a user's current presence or status or a change in presence or
status, such as Available, Busy, On the Phone, etc., or the like. In this same
object of this invention, the invention provides notifications that contain
associations, references, or links to database records that are somehow
correlated to the recent Telecommunication Call Events, such as by a
telephone number, on the Telecommunication Device that is registered with

the user. In one embodiment, a user receives a telephone call on the wireless
Telecommunication Device from a Contact at a major Account called "Acme
Manufacturing". After the call has concluded, the system provides a
notification display on the user's Telecommunication Device with a link to: 1).
the Contact Information (i.e., vCard) for the Contact at "Acme
Manufacturing" that called, 2). the "Acme Manufacturing" Account
information, and 3). the opportunity information for the "Acme
Manufacturing" Account. By means of the providing these three links (i.e.,
one for the Contact, one for the Account, and one for the Opportunity), the
user of the Telecommunication Device is able to update the information that
had changed due to the telephone call conversation that was privy between
both calling parties. The user is then able to update either the caller's Contact
information (i.e., the preferred Contact fields are illustrated in the preferred
embodiments of the invention), such as a new telephone number, mail address,
contact description, or the like. The user is also able to update the Account
related information, during or after the telecommunication call, that was
associated or had some degree of correlation to the previous
Telecommunication Call Events, such as including, but not limited to the
following:
• Account Name
• Phone Number
• Parent Account Information
• Website
• Account Number
• Ticker Symbol
• Type (i.e., such as private, public, etc.)
• Industry: (i.e., Telecommunications, Media, Manufacturing, etc.)
• Number of Employees
• Annual Revenue
• SIC Code
• Billing Addresses
• Voice Notes or Memos

• Text Notes or Memos
• Images
• Customizable Forms (i.e., Account Information, Opportunity
Information, Contact Information such as vCard Information, Field
Specific Forms, or the like, that is related to the
Telecommunication Call Event)
The user is also capable of updating the Opportunity Information that
was associated or had some degree of correlation to the previous
Telecommunication Call Events, such as including, but not limited to the
following:
• Opportunity Information:
o Primary Information
■ Opportunity Owner (i.e., Contact Owner)
■ Opportunity Name
■ Account Name (i.e., the Account that is linked to
this Opportunity)
■ Type: (i.e., new, existing, etc.)
■ Lead Source
o Deal Amount (i.e., the size of the deal)
o Status (i.e., Open, Pending, Closed and Close Date)
o Next Steps (i.e., Need estimate Update., etc.)
o Stage (i.e., Needs Analysis, Proposal/Price Quote, Closed
Lost, Negotiation/Review, etc.)
o Probability (%): (i.e., 80%, 90%, etc.)
o Description
In a similar embodiment of this invention, the user received the
notification while the call was in progress on their laptop computer and was
able to update the information during the course of the conversation.
An additional part of this object provides for a user that calls or
receives calls from a corresponding Telecommunication Device to receive a
notification event based on recent Telecommunication Events that were

correlated with database records. These notification events include pending
alerts or To-Do tasks apprising the user of the Telecommunication Device that
un-correlated information needs to be updated, based on recent
Telecommunication Events that the system is not able to update and correlate
autonomously. In one embodiment, a user receiving or making a telephone
call to a single or group of users receives a notification event that includes a
pending To-Do task after that call has been tenninated, determined by
Telecommunication Call Events.
The pending To-Do task requires the user to update the notes
information for that contact in order to describe the call, through the means of
entering information into text entry forms that are specific to the user's
business, or by updating the deal flow of the account information for the
particular account that is associated with the telephone number (i.e.,
Telecommunication Call Event). In another embodiment, while the telephone
call is in progress a user receives a reminder to update text entry forms about
the contact they are having a conversation with, such as updating the sales
projections for the current account that is associated with the user. In another
embodiment, after a phone call has concluded, the authorized user of the
Telecommunication Device will be apprised, by the Telecoimnunication
Device's program that is running on said device, that a user should create
voice-recorded notes in reference to the phone call. In a similar embodiment,
after a phone call has concluded, the Telecommunication Device's application
that is running on said device will notify the user if they wish to copy and save
for later access a part of, or the entire, recorded voice phone call and associate
it with the contact corresponding to the called or received phone number. The
recorded phone call can reside locally on the Telecommunication Device and
can also be synchronized or transferred to the online server system for access
via a web browser or custom application program running on a computing
device which is associated with various database records, such as vCard,
Account Information, Opportunity Information, or the like-
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that enables database records that have none or old time-stamped references to
Telecommunication Call Events for the purpose of triggering notifications

based on a predefined temporal threshold for the aging of each database
record. This notification event can also be based on the frequency of
Telecommunication Call Events that relate to a database record. For example,
in one embodiment an Account was established with a company that
represents a large Opportunity for the business to sell their product to.
The account has a group of associated Contacts that are the key
decision makers of the Account. Since time may be critical to closing this sale
for this Account, this invention allows an aging trigger event to be defined and
triggered if a user within the organization does not call the telephone numbers
of any Contacts who are associated with the Account within the predefined
time limit set by the administrator of the organization. In this embodiment, this
can be used for capturing the Telecommunication Call Events for a particular
user and can be applied to users in the organization or department, or to a
single user that owns or uses a Telecommunication Device upon which the
application is executed. In another embodiment, a user of an organization is
required to call an Account at least once a week. If the user does not perform
the task of calling the Account's Contact (i.e., from their vCard data) a
notification will be sent to the administrator, or to the user that initiated the
event, illustrating that the frequency of calls to this Account for the particular
user fell below the set threshold of calls to this Account for past predefined
period of time.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that enables only one unique user account to be associated with one or many
unique Telecommunication Devices. This invention allows multiple users to
be associated with a single Telecommunication Device. However the preferred
method of this invention is to allow only one user account to be assigned to
multiple unique Telecommunication Devices (i.e., since users typically have
more than one Telecommunication Device). This object of this invention also
enables the prevention of a Telecommunication Device from being registered
by multiple user accounts. This guarantees that Telecommunication Call
Events that occur can be correlated with one and only one user account at a
time, In one embodiment, when a user executes an application on the
Telecommunication Device, the application will send a unique identifier, such

as an ESN number, telephone number, or the like, to an online serer that will
register the Telecommunication Device with the registered user that
authenticated themselves and executed the application.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that displays an outgoing call history log of recent Telecommunications Call
Events on a Telecommunication Device or other computing device, such as a
desktop or laptop personal computer. This invention provides no limit on the
number of outgoing calls that can be displayed. This object of this invention
enables the display of outgoing call history, including additional information
and/or references or links that are associated with the outgoing call history log
item(s) of recent Telecommunication Call Events for a particular or group of
Telecommunication Device(s). These references or links connect
Telecommunication Call Events with database records through the use of
common keys present in both the Telecommunication Call Events and the
database records. This invention allows partial or exact matches of common
keys. Common keys include Telecommunication Call Events, or the like. For
every outgoing call history item, typically denoted as a Telephone Number,
other information can be displayed through this invention, such as, but not
limited to the following Contact informational fields mat are correlated with
the Telephone Number: Title, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Suffix,
Company, Department, Job Title, Street Address, Street Address 2, Street
Address 3, City, State, Postal Code, Country, Address" Latitude, Address'
Longitude, Address' Altitude, etc. A plurality of unique Contact records can
be displayed in this invention.
In addition to displaying the most prominent Contact Information,
links (i.e., known as shortcuts) are provided for allowing users to update
various additional database records that have an association with the
Telecommunication Call Event. These additional links or shortcuts include,
but are not limited to the following database records: Accounts, Opportunities,
Forecasts, Leads, Tasks, Documents, Cases, other Events, or the like. It is an
object of this invention to allow the updating or populating of the outgoing
call history log information by1). real-time updates as Telecommunication
Call Events are processed, 2). scheduled ad-hoc and/or reoccurring time

intervals, and/or 3). running an application or process such as a button or link
(i.e., URL) that initiates a call history log update from an online server or local
computing platform. In this same object of this invention, it is possible to read
database records, such as the Opportunities record database, which has a
common association using the Telecommunication Call Events as the common
key. Using this link or shortcut, the user is able to quickly and effectively
review and update database records that are related to recent
Telecommunication Device activities without having to first search for said
database record information. The retrieval of additional database records can
either be cached locally or accessed upon demand. This object of the invention
also provides for mapping any database record mat has geographical
information associated with it through the call history.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that enables the Telecommunication Device or other computing device, such
as a desktop or laptop personal computer, to display an incoming call history
log of recent Telecommunications Call Events. This invention provides no
limit on the number of incoming calls that can be displayed. This object of this
invention enables the display of incoming call history including additional
information and/or references or links that are associated with the incoming
call history log item(s) of recent Telecommunication Call Events for a
particular or group of Telecommunication Device(s). These references or links
connect Telecommunication Call Events with database records through the use
of common keys present in both the Telecommunication Call Events and the
database records. This invention allows partial or exact matches of common
keys. Common keys include Telecommunication Call Events, or the like. For
every incoming call history item, typically denoted as a Telephone Number,
other information that can be displayed through this invention includes, but is
not limited the following Contact information fields that are correlated with
the Telephone Number: Title, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Suffix,
Company, Department, Job Title, Street Address, Street Address 2, Street
Address 3, City, State, Postal Code, Country, Address' Latitude, Address'
Longitude, Address' Altitude, etc. A plurality of unique Contact records can
be displayed in this invention.

In addition to displaying the most prominent Contact Information,
links (i.e., known as shortcuts) are provided for allowing users to update
various additional database records that have an association with the
Telecommunication Call Event. These additional links or shortcuts include,
but are not limited to the following database records: Accounts, Opportunities,
Forecasts, Leads, Tasks, Documents, Cases, other Events, or the like. It is an
object of this invention to allow the updating or populating of the incoming
call history log information by 1). real-time updates as Telecommunication
Call Events are processed, 2). scheduled ad-hoc and/or reoccurring time
intervals, and/or 3). running an application or process such as a button or link
(i.e., URL) that initiates a call history log update from an online server or local
computing platform. In this same object of this invention, it is possible to read
database records, such as the Opportunities record database, which has a
common association using the Telecommunication Call Events as the common
key. Using this link or shortcut, the user is able to quickly and effectively
update database records that are related to recent Telecommunication Device
activities without having to first search for said database record information.
The retrieval of additional database records can either be cached locally or
accessed upon demand. This object of the invention also provides for mapping
any database record that has geographical information associated with it
through the call history.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that enables the Telecommunication Device or other computing device, such
as a desktop or laptop personal computer, to display a missed call history log
of recent Telecommunications Call Events. This invention provides no limit
on the number of missed calls that can be displayed. This object of this
invention enables the display of missed call history including additional
information and/or references or links that are associated with the missed call
history log item(s) of recent Telecommunication Call Events for a particular or
group of Telecommunication Device(s). These references or links connect
Telecommunication Call Events with database records through the use of
common keys present in both the Telecommunication Call Events and the
database records. This invention allows partial or exact matches of common

keys. Common keys include Telecommunication Call Events, or the like. For
every missed call history item, typically denoted as a Telephone Number,
other information can be displayed through this invention, including, but not
limited to the following Contact information fields that are correlated with the
Telephone Number: Title, First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, Suffix,
Company, Department, Job Title, Street Address, Street Address 2, Street
Address 3, City, State, Postal Code, Country, Address' Latitude, Address'
Longitude, Address' Altitude, etc. A plurality of unique Contact records can
be displayed in this invention. In addition to displaying the most prominent
Contact Information, links (i.e., known as shortcuts) are provided for allowing
users to update various additional database records that have an association
with the Telecommunication Call Event.
These additional links or shortcuts include, but are not limited to fee
following database records: Accounts, Opportunities, Forecasts, Leads, Tasks,
Documents, Cases, other Events, or the like. It is an object of this invention to
allow the updating or populating of the missed call history log information by
1). real-time updates as Telecommunication Call Events are processed, 2).
scheduled ad-hoc and/or reoccurring time intervals, and/or 3). running an
application or process such as a button or link (i.e., URL) that initiates a call
history log update from an online server or local computing platform. In this
same object of this invention, it is possible to read database records, such as
the Opportunities record database, which has a common association using the
Telecommunication Call Events as the common key. Using this link or
shortcut, the user is able to quickly and effectively update database records
that are related to recent Telecommunication Device activities without having
to first search for said database record information. The retrieval of additional
database records can either be cached locally or accessed upon demand. This
object of the invention also provides for mapping any database record that has
geographical information associated with it through the call history.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that enables the Telecommunication Device to update the local address book
based on a statistical analysis of the Telecommunication Call Events
associated with a user (i.e., since the user can own multiple

Telecommunication Devices) or with the Telecommunication Device. The
Telecommunication Device's address book is an array of Contacts that can be
stored locally on the Telecommunication Device for the purpose of accessing
the vCard contents in real-time without a high-degree of access latency as
typically observed when requesting data through a wireless network. This
object of this present invention provides the means for calculating which
Contacts are associated with a Telecommunication Device's
Telecommunication Call Events and the frequency and age of updates for the
purpose of ordering the user's Contact (i.e., vCard) information from the most
active to the least active for a given user. This ordering is calculated in real-
time as Telecommunication Call Events are recorded. Since most
Telecommunication Devices have a finite number of Contact (i.e., vCard)
allocations that can be stored locally in the Telecommunication Device, a
maximum number of address book Contacts has to be established and may
vary across different Telecommunication Devices. Since the user of the
Telecommunication Device can have a larger base of Contacts than the
Telecommunication Device can support, this maximum number will
artificially limit how many Contacts can be synchronized or transferred to the
Telecommunication Device.
The synchronization or transfer process for updating the
Telecommunication Device's address book can be implemented 1). in real-
time as Telecommunication Call Events are processed, 2). at scheduled ad-hoc
and/or reoccurring time intervals, 3). upon running an application or process
such as a button or link (i.e., URL) that initiates an address book update,
and/or 4). based on a percentage difference threshold in which the current
address book listing differs from the new address book listing, or the like.
Thus this object of this invention uses Telecommunication Call Events to
calculate and then populate which Contacts are stored in the local address
book of the Telecommunication Device. This object of this invention also
provides a provision to for certain high-priority Contacts, such as emergency
Contacts, to override other lower-priority Contacts, in the event that these
Contacts normally would not be stored in the address book due to storage size

limitations, but are required to be store locally on the Telecommunication
Device.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that enables the correlation or matching and/or extrapolation (i.e., partial
matching) of Telecommunication Call Events with either local and/or remote
database records. Since Telecommunication Call Events vary across different
Telecommunication Devices, Telephone (i.e., landline) and Wireless Carriers,
Telecommunication Standards (i.e., CDMA, GSM, iDEN, etc.), or the like, it
is paramount to provide a means to correlate either exact or partial matches
between Telecommunication Call Events and database records. This object of
this invention provides the means to allow partial match correlations between
Telecommunication Call Events and database records, such as Contact,
Account, or the like. The following points provide additional dependent
objects that increase the accuracy of the matching of exact and/or partial
match correlations with said database records:
1. Extrapolate NPA (i.e., area code) Information for Telecommunication
Events (i.e., Caller-ID) when said Telecommunication Events do not
provide NPA information for local calls. Thus, it is an object of the
invention to add NPA information to Telecommunication Events that
do not include said NPA information, where the NPA information is
derived from the local telephone number of the Telecommunication
Device.
2. Allow partial matches for Telecommunication Devices contained
within a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) system. For example, ANI
(Automatic Number Identification or Caller-ID) provides the Direct
Inward Dialing (DID) trunk from the PBX on which the call originated
and not the actual PBX extension of the Telecommunication Device.
Thus, it is an object of this invention to allow the partial match
searches for telephone numbers that have a high degree of correlation
to a particular or set of database records (i.e., Contact, Account, etc.).
These partial correlations can be presented to the user in a different
manner than exact match correlations.

3. Provide a mechanism that allows the user to confirm and/or correct
partial match correlations and enabling the user to select the correct
database record or records to associate with the exact or partial
Telecommunication Call Event (e.g., a user can select from a list the
Contact, Account, or the like, that is associated with the telephone
number, etc.).
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that enables the user to match or choose which Telecommunication Call
Events are to be associated with various database records. This can occur on
the Telecommunication Device after a Telecommunication Call Event has
ended (e.g., the end of a phone call), during a Telecommunication Call Event
(e.g., during a phone call), or when a user authenticates and is authorized to
sign in to a remote application, such as a custom application or web browser,
for the purpose of updating PIM (Personal Information Management), or the
like, information. For example, in one embodiment, a user can receive a
number of phone calls from users that do not have any Caller-ID information
and thus no phone number is provided. When the user signs in to their
organization using a standard web browser, a list of uncorrected
Telecommunication Call Events will be listed so that the user can manually
associate the uncorrelated Telecommunication Call Events with current
database records, such as vCard contacts, or so that the user can create a new
database record, such as a user vCard or business Account, for the purpose of
associating the Telecommunication Call Event with a database record for
reports, notifications, or like.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that provides a plurality of reports that utilize the Telecommunication Call
Events for either a particular Telecommunication Device and/or user (i.e.,
which may use a plurality of Telecommunication Devices). These reports
include numerous combinations of the Telecommunications Call Events, in
addition to correlating said Telecommunication Call Events with a plurality of
database records. Reports can be a critical part of this invention, as those
skilled in the art will agree. Making use of a multitude of Telecommunication

Call Events is only possible by recognizing and illuminating the patterns and
frequency of Telecommunication Call Events with their respective database
records to the end user in a clear and simple format, which would not
otherwise be possible if only the raw data is displayed. The invention provides
a plurality of reports, without limitation, and including the following:
• Incoming Calls Report
• Outgoing Calls Report
• Missed Calls Report
• Contact Reports
o Contact Call History
o Last Time Group of Contacts were Called
o Total Contact Call Time
o Contact Normalized Call Time vs. User's Total Call Time
o % of Calls that are Personal vs. Business
• New Account Report - Customers that are being Serviced
• Active Contacts — Current Contacts that are Active
• Neglected Contacts — Contacts that need Attention
• Active Accounts — Current Accounts that are Active
• Neglected Accounts — Accounts that need Attention
• Aging Reports - Contacts, Accounts, Opportunity, Leads, Forecast
• Return Call Response Time - The amount of time between a
Contact calling a user and leaving a voice mail message, to the
time the user returned the call to the Contact.
• Sales Reports
• Account and Contact Reports
• Opportunity and Forecast Reports
• Support Reports
• Lead Reports
• Fields Service Reports
• Wireless Airtime Billing Report - Associated wireless airtime
charges and the user appropriate account.
• Opportunity ROI Report

Based on recorded call information related to a specified Account's
Opportunity that has Contacts associated with said Account. Each Account
Opportunity has a monetary value and this report provides the
Telecommunication Call Events information related to said Opportunities,
such as including, but not limited to: Time of Calls, Frequency of Calls,
Frequency of Return Calls from Contact, Return Call Response Time, or the
like.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that provides a plurality of maps of varying resolution and size reporting
events, patterns, and/or frequencies of Telecommunication Call Events and
their respected associated database records illustrating a spatial thematic
representation of the data. In one embodiment, it is possible to spatially view
the call history for a particular user and their Telecommunication Devices over
a given period of time. In another embodiment, a thematic map of Accounts
that the business organization has won or closed is illustrated spatially, which
graphically depicts the amount of calls and visits made in the process of
winning each Account.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that provides a plurality of alerts and exceptions that are triggered based on the
changes, modifications, or creation of Telecommunication Call Events and
related database records. Alerts and Exceptions are configured by authorized
users with the appropriate privileges to create, modify, or remove alert and
exceptions for individual users of Telecommunication Devices. For example,
in one embodiment, a user can request to be alerted when a specified
Telecommunication Call Event occurs, such as to be notified when a call is
made to a specified telephone number and/or NPA/NXX designation, such as
with use a PBX phone system, or when a particular Contact is called or the
Contact calls the user at one of their Telecommunication Devices (i.e., denoted
as Telefencing). In another embodiment, notifications and alerts are used when
a user's Telecommunication Device(s) have used a specified amount of
airtime or bandwidth for a given period, or if the user's Telecommunication
Device transitions from a roaming to non-roaming state or vise-versa.

Additionally, this invention enables an alert when Telecommunication Call
Events are made to a particular Telecommunication Device to notify a specific
user or group of users that an action is required which is related to the user
initiating the Telecommunication Call Events and/or to the user of said
Telecommunication Device. In one embodiment, this alert can illustrate that a
sales deal has been closed or moved to a different deal-stage. This invention
allows alerts to be sent using various different commuracation methods, such
as, and without limitation: E-Mail, SMS Messages, Instant Message,
Telephone Call, Page, or the like.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that provides the capability to access or download related Telecommunication
Call Events and/or their associated database records to a computer device in
both processed and raw formats. In one embodiment, a user is allowed to
download Telecommunication Call Events in a comma delimited format (i.e.,
CSV format) for the purpose of integrating said information into a
spreadsheet for the tabulation of various fields that are not typically exposed
through an online website report. This provides the user with ultimate
flexibility in viewing the Telecommunication Call Events, such as the total
call duration for a specified range of time. In another embodiment,
downloading the Telecommunication Call Events and their associated
database records enable the updating of Personal Information Management
(PIM) applications, such as updating Contacts, Journals, Calendar Events,
Tasks, or the like.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that provides the capability to for the Telecommunication Device running an
application to perform searches which can be transferred or synchronized to an
online server system for later retrieval via the online server system, remote
computer, or on the Telecommunication Device. It is an additional object of
this invention to allow the searches to be performed on a remote computer that
interfaces with the online server system and allows searches to be cached on
the online server system which are later synchronized or transferred to the
Telecommunication Device or remote computer. It is a further object of this
present invention to allow the searches to include spatial related searches, such

as Yellow Pages or White Pages searches, or POI searches for creating Routes
on the phone, in order to allow the application running on the
Telecommunication Device or remote computing device to transfer the
searched places to the online server system or remote computer.
For example, in one embodiment, a user that is authenticated and
authorized by an application running on a wireless telephone is able to access
the Internet and search for a Point of Interest (POI) or Place (e.g., such as a
restaurant, airport, or the like). Those searched Places are then transferred to
an online server system. When the user is authenticated and authorized via a
web browser on a different computing device that has access to said online
server system, the user is then able to retrieve and access the Places that were
recently searched for on the user's wireless telephone. Additionally, from the
web browser, the user is able to save the Place information into their own
personal database and add additional objects of information, such as text
notes, documents, articles, or the like, about the Place. It would be appreciated
by those skilled in the art that searches performed on the Telecommunication
Device are transferred to a remote database for future retrieval from disparate
computing devices that have access to an online server system that stores the
data records.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and system
that provides the capability for searching Places (i.e., POIs), saving Places,
creating Routes/Directions, and saving Routes/Directions using a computing
platform, which may include a Telecommunication Device, that is connected
to an online server system, and then accessing said saved or searched Places,
or saved or searched Routes/Directions from a Telecommunication Device. It
is an additional object of this invention to allow the accessed Places and/or
Route/Direction information to be integrated and associated with the
Telecommunication Device's specific interfaces, such as GPS, Address Book,
Voice Recorder, Camera, Phone Capability, SMS, or the like. The associated
data (e.g., Place and its associated Camera Image(s), Route and its associated
Camera Image(s), etc.) derived from the Telecommunication Device's specific
interfaces can then be transferred or synchronized to the online server system
or remote computer. After the synchronization or transfer process, the recently

searched Place and/or Route/Direction information that is stored on the online
server system now has additional database records (i.e., Camera Images, etc.)
that were derived from the Telecommunication Device associated with the
Place and /or Route/Direction information.
It is an additional object of this invention to allow a
Telecommunication Device to generate real-time maps based on retrieved
Places' address information which was searched or saved on the online server
system. It is an additional object of this invention to modify driving directions
in real-time, while using a Telecommunication Device, which are based on
driving directions that were searched or saved on the online server system. It is
an additional object of mis invention to create new driving directions in real-
time, while using a Telecommunication Device, which are based on Places
that were searched or saved on the online server system. In one embodiment, a
user that has a dentist appointment in an hour first signs in to a web page by
entering a username and password. The user searches for the dentist using the
web browser that is connected to an online server system that has access to
Places (i.e., POIs, Yellow Pages, White Pages, etc.) information. By noting the
general location and area of the dentist office and without saving the Place
(i.e., the dentist office), the user takes their wireless telephone with them and
drives to the dentist office. During the trip to the dentist office the user gets
lost and needs to find his way to the location of the dentist office.
The user signs in to an application that is running on the wireless
phone and retrieves his recently searched Places that were searched for on the
web. The user is then able to quickly map the dentist office (i.e., the Place)
and even directly call the dentist office (i.e., since the Place information
contains the phone number of the dentist), in the event that he might be late for
his appointment. The user can do all this from his wireless telephone without
having to perform a new search on the phone or call 411 to get the dentist
office's phone number. Additionally this invention provides the user with the
ability to dynamically create a route from their current location (i.e., route
origin) to the dentist office (i.e., route destination) without having to enter in
the destination address, which is very cumbersome on a wireless phone. In
another embodiment, a user is able to retrieve a Place that was searched for

and saved to the online server system from their wireless telephone by simple
requesting recently saved Places by clicking on a menu option on their
wireless telephone. After retrieving and selecting the desired Place the user is
able to take a picture using the camera that is integrated into the wireless
telephone, and then associate the picture with said Place on the wireless
telephone application. Additionally, the application that is running on the
user's wireless telephone will then transfer or synchronize the picture to the
online server system so that when the user accesses the Place using a web
browser on a laptop, the user will be able to see the picture that they took
associated with the particular Place. Similarly, in another embodiment, the
Place was not searched for on the web, but instead on the wireless phone. In a
similar embodiment, a recently saved route was retrieved onto the wireless
telephone and a set of pictures that were taken on the wireless phone were
associated with the route and transferred or synchronized to the online server
system for later viewing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
The present invention provides a method and system for capturing,
processing, mapping, reporting, and/or displaying Telecommunication Call
Events that occur on either landline or wireless Telecommunication Devices
(i.e., POTS telephones, cellular telephones, 3G-based wireless
data/telephones, etc.), by which the information content of said
Telecommunication Call Events can be presented locally on the
Telecommunication Device or remotely on a desktop or laptop computer using
a computer application or a web browser that can interface to an online
networked server. This invention also provides for the synchronization or
transfer of said Telecommunication Call Events either locally or remotely to
another computing platform. This invention also provides the ability to
associate said Telecommunication Call Events with various database records
for a multitude of purposes, such as matching Telecommunication Call Events
with a Contact database. This invention also enables associating
Telecommunication Call Events with Contacts and other threads, such as
Accounts, Opportunities, Forecasts, Leads, Tasks, Documents, Cases, other
events, or the like. This invention also provides alerts, exceptions, and
notifications that are related to the Telecommunication Call Events and
associated database records. The present invention may be embodied in an
online and Telecommunication Device application, such as the "AtlasBook"
application owned and licensed by Networks In Motion, Inc. of Irvine,
California.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be
described in detail with references to Figures 1-30.
FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 illustrate high-level diagrams of a suitable
computing and networking environment in which the various embodiments of
the present invention may be implemented. The preferred embodiment of the
present invention will be described in the general context of an application that
executes on an operating system in conjunction with a personal computer or
server, but those skilled in the art will realize that this invention may also be
implemented in combination with other program modules. Program modules
typically include routines, programs, data structures, etc. that perform

particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. This invention is
not limited to a typical personal computer, but may also be utilized with other
computing systems, such as handheld devices, mobile lap top computers,
wireless phones, in-vehicle navigation systems, programmable consumer
electronics, mainframe computers, distributed computer systems, etc., and the
like.
FIG. 1 is a network block diagram illustrating the connection (125 &
101) of both wireless 100 and wired 126 Telecommunication devices to an
Application Service Provider (ASP) 123, also referred to as an online server
system. This online server system may be configured at a single location and
on a single computer, or can be configured as a distributed computer system
and at different locations. The wireless Mobile Telecommunication Devices
100 are wirelessly connected 101 to a nearby wireless base station 102, which
are typically connected or have access to 105 the Internet, Intranet, or Extranet
106. Additionally, a landline Telecommunication Device 126 is typically
connected to a nearby central office 124 which is connected or has access to
123 the Internet, Intranet, or Extranet 106. Additionally, the Application
Service Provider (ASP) 123 also has access 109 to the Internet, Intranet, or
Extranet 106. The ASP 123 generally consists of a front-end firewall and
XML router 113 which itself has access (111 & 114 & 119) to other local
computing modules, such as a database 112, POI server 115, geocoding server
116, mapping server 117, and webpage client server 118. The web-server
front-end 118 can be connected to the outside Internet, Intranet, or Extranet
106 either through the local front-end firewall 113, or as in this embodiment,
via 120 the web server 121, which is connected 122 directly to the Internet,
Intranet, or Extranet 106 by using a software firewall which is well known to
those skilled in the art. Additionally, either mobile 104 or landline 108
computing devices, such as a personal computer, are connected to the Internet,
Intranet, or Extranet 106, either directly 107 or through a wireless connection
103 and base station 102.
FIG. 2 illustrates a typical personal computer 150, that includes a
central processing unit (CPU) 173, video adapter 172, hard disk drive 157,
optical disk 158, serial port 159, magnetic disk drive 163, system bus 156, and

network interface 176 → 177 & 167 & 169 → 109. The hard disk drive 157
typically refers to a local non-volatile storage system for storing large amounts
of data, such as a web browser program files or cookies or a user's Contact
data. The optical disk 158 typically refers to a CD-ROM disk used for storing
read-only data, such as an installation program. The serial port interface 159 is
typically used to connect 161 the computer 150 to external devices 160, such
as a keyboard, mouse, and graphical touch screen interface, and also can
connect 164 to positioning devices 165, such as a GPS receiver. The keyboard
and mouse 160, amongst other input devices 165, enable users to input
information into the computer 150. The connection 161 & 164 cables can
include a serial cable or universal serial bus (USB) cable. Other input devices,
that are not shown, may include a joystick, scanner, camera, microphone, or
the like. The magnetic disk drive 163 is typically used to store small amounts
data, in comparison to a hard 157 or optical 158 disk drive, and typically lacks
the data transfer rates of those other storage drives, but it enables both
readable and writable capability.
The hard disk drive 157, optical disk drive 158, serial port interface
159, and magnetic disk drive 163 are all preferably connected to the main
system bus 156 of the computer 150 for transferring data. A monitor 170 or
other type of display device, such as a LCD display, is connected 171 to the
computer system's 150 video adapter 172, which is connected to the system
bus 156. Additional peripheral output devices, which are not included in this
embodiment, such as a printer, speaker, etc., can also be connected to a
personal computer 150. The system bus 156 also connects to the network
interface 176, central processing unit (CPU) 173, and system memory 151.
The system memory 151 contains both random access memory (RAM) 153,
and read only memory (ROM) 152, that typically consists of the BIOS (Basic
Input/Output System) of the computer, necessary for containing basic routines
that enable the transfer of information between elements within the personal
computer 150. The RAM 153 stores a number of program modules, such as
the web browser and synchronization applications 155, and the Operating
System 154 of the personal computing device 150 or personal computer 150.

One example of such a program module 155 would be a web browser that is
connected to the "AtlasBook" server that was previously mentioned.
FIG. 3 illustrates a next generation wireless Telecommunication
Device 311 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present
invention, which preferably includes a display 314, an antenna 313, and a
keypad 312. The next generation wireless Telecommunication Device 311 &
300, as illustrated in FIG. 3, provides a foundation 302 for running programs
or applications uiat can access the Telecommunication Device's 311 internal
interfaces, such as the Bluetooth 309, Speech/Audio Codec 308, GPS Interface
307, TAPI (Telephony Application Program Interface) 306 Interface,
Screen/Keypad API (Application Program Interface) or Interface 305, Camera
API 304, or the like as well known to those that are skilled in the art As those
that are skilled in the art will appreciate, a Telecommunication Device (300 &
311) will also include scheduling/timers 310 for scheduling specific events as
is provided with standard computing platforms. Additionally, next generation
Telecommunication Devices (300 & 311) have graphical user interfaces (GUI)
301 for applications to allow user input using a graphical display 314. As
people skilled in the art will appreciate, these next generation
Telecommunication Devices provide the means to access the
Telecommunication Devices' internal APIs using a middleware 302 platform,
such as J2ME or BREW, which are both well known to those skilled in the art.
This simplifies the development process since there is significant support for
obtaining developer's access to the Telecommunication Devices internal APIs,
such as the TAPI interface for making telephone calls and capturing call logs.
Standard Telecommunication Devices provide an internal call logging
capability, such as incoming call history 400, missed call history 401, and
outgoing call history 402. Prior art solutions enabled the storage of vCard
contact data on the Telecommunication Device, which is usually standard for
wireless Telecommunication Devices. As those skilled in the art will
appreciate, this invention provides the means to first run an application on the
Telecommunication Device for the purpose of collecting Telecommunication
Call Events, by using either Telecommunication Device timers 310, or by
having the Telecommunication Device trigger the application when a

particular Telecommunication Call Event occurs, such as when a telephone
call is received, transmitted, or the like. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the wireless
Telecommunication Device 100 is indirectly connected to the ASP server 123
preferably by means of the Internet, Intranet, or Extranet 106. This provides a
pathway for the synchronization or transfer of Telecommunication Call Events
that are captured or recording on the Telecommunication Device to the ASP
server 123. This transfer or synchronization process can occur in real-time or
stored and then forwarded at a later time as previously mentioned in this
invention.
Once the Telecommunication Call Events have been transferred to the
ASP server 123, the ASP server 123 can then correlate said
Telecommunication Call Events with Contact data that is also located on the
ASP server 123 system. Using the Telecommunication Call Events history, it
is possible to correlate said history with actual contact data that is stored in the
ASP server 123 system. For example, in one embodiment, a user many have
1,000 Contacts' data (i.e., vCard data) stored on the online ASP 123 system.
As illustrated in FIG. 4 Contact data consists of various user specific fields,
including but not limited to the following:

It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that Contact data has
a plurality of telephone data, such as mobile, car, home, or the like, telephone
fields in typical Contact data. As illustrated in FIG. 4 this Contact data may

consist of Name (417 & 412 & 406), Account (418 & 413 & 407), Primary
Telephone (419 & 414 & 408), Mobile Telephone (420 & 415 & 409), and
Fax (421 & 416 & 410) fields, amongst other various fields 411 that were
previous noted. Any given user can have a plurality of Contacts (403 & 404 &
405) that are associated with either a single user or group of users in an
organization or across multiple organizations. This Contact Data can also
embody Point of Interest (POI) records, such as waypoints, or the like, since a
Contact Data record is very similar to a phonebook listing (i.e., White Pages or
Yellow Pages). As those skilled in the art know, Contact Data, White Pages,
and Yellow Pages records can be categorized together with very similar fields.
As further illustrated in FIG. 4, the preferred embodiment of the
present invention provides the linking, either by implicit or explicit threads or
links (422 & 423 & 424), between call history (400 & 401 & 402) and
Contact Data (403 & 404 & 405). For example, an incoming call history
telephone number (949-555-1213) can be linked or threaded 422 to a Contact
403 or group of Contacts, which may include POIs, or the like. Additionally,
both missed call history 401 and outgoing call history 402 can also have
threads or links (423 & 420) to various Contacts (404 & 405) or groups of
Contacts.
In the preferred embodiment, a Telecommunication Device runs or
executes a program that collects and transfers Telecommunication Call Events
in real-time, on schedule, at predefined intervals, or the like, for the purpose of
processing the data, in this embodiment, at the ASP server 123 system. This
unique approach enables the ability to provide a mechanism on the ASP server
123 system to display said Telecommunication Call Events in a plurality of
methods. FIG. 5 illustrates such a mechanism as the main home page 510 of a
website after a user has been authenticated and authorized by the system. The
web page 500 of the ASP server 123 system displays a row of headers, such as
Home 518, Contacts 519, Leads 520, Accounts 521, Opportunities 522, Call
History 523, Search 524, Find on Map 525, Directions 526, and Reports 527.
Each main tab, such as Contacts 519, provides a submenu of information
related to said tab subject or to the main essence of the application. For
example, in this illustration the Contacts Tab 519 provides a submenu directly

related to Contacts that allows a user to create a New Contact 511, New Lead
512, New Account 513, and New Opportunity 514. Also provided in the
Contacts Tab's 519 submenu are functions that indirectly reference Contacts,
such as allowing a user to view its Incoming Calls 515, Outgoing Calls 516,
and Missed Calls 517.
This page also indicates the name of the user that is signed in to the
website 532 and its organization 533, in addition to the current date 534.
Additionally, each web page 500 provides common functions, such as by the
Setup 528, Help 529, Trash Bin 530, and Logout 531 links to other web pages
500. Other common features include the Search field 501, My Recent Contacts
502, My Recent Places 509, and the Last Activity 503 consisting of the user's
recent activity within the web page 500. The Last Activity 503 provides a
cache of all recently accessed Contacts 504, Maps or Places 508, Routes 507,
Opportunities 506, Leads, Accounts 505, Call History, or the like. My Recent
Contacts 502 and My Recent Places 509 illustrate a more specific cache of
only the recent contacts and places, respectively, that were searched. It should
be appreciated by those that are skilled in the art, that if you search for a place
on the ASP server 123 system, and it is displayed on the web page 500 in the
My Recent Places 509 list, the same fields are accessible on a user's mobile
device. For example, if a user searches for a Dentist office on the website it
will be stored as a recent item in the user's My Recent Places 509 list. When
that user is on the move, the user can access this location on its wireless
telephone by simply searching its My Recent Places list. This part of the
invention allows a user to easily and quickly mirror and retrieve Hie recent
searches that the user performed on the web site 500 for fast retrieval on the
mobile telephone.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, when you first visit the Contacts 519 web page
500, the information displayed is a table 611 that lists the contacts whose
information was recently viewed on the web page 500. Some standard fields
provided include Contact Name 608, Company 609, and Phone Number 610.
This Recently Viewed 600 contact web page provides a quick glance at the
most recently viewed contacts. Additionally, a user can request to view a list
of their contacts unfiltered (i.e., "All Contacts" 601), or by other filters, such

as "Recently Edited" 602, "My Recent Contacts" 603, "My Recent Places"
604, "Birthdays this Month" 605, Contacts "New Last Week" 606, and
Contacts "New this Week" 607.
As illustrated in FIG. 7, the "All Contacts" view 700 provides a
detailed view of all of a user's contacts. This view's 700 data can be sorted by
a number of fields, such as Name 705, Company 706, Group 707, Title 708,
Phone 709, E-Mail 710, or Owner 713. Contact data can be sorted and viewed
701 alphabetically (i.e., A-Z), numerically (i.e., "123"), or viewed in its
entirety (i.e., "All"). Each displayed set of contact data is numbered 702 and
displayed to the user, and a user may view the next 711 and previous 712 sets
of contact data easily. Additionally, the number of contact data records
displayed at a time (i.e., per set) is preferably configurable 716. As people
skilled in the art will appreciate, a user can edit 703 any contact or delete a
single or multiple contacts 704. A user can also select contacts to be
downloaded to the Telecommunication Device by checking the check box for
the On Ph (on the phone) 715 field and clicking the Update 714 button. This
enables the wireless phone to download the selected Contacts to the
Telecommunication Device's local address book. As people in the art will
appreciate, the Contact data can be compressed for download, and each
contact can be identified by a pre-defined ID in order to allow for differential
updates of contacts that have changed since the last download.
Providing a full view of information about a particular Contact 800 is
preferred in an address book application. FIG. 8 illustrates the main fields for
providing said vCard fields. These fields include Name, Job Title, company
Department, Birthday, Reports To, and Contact Source, as illustrated in one
block of information 806. Another block of information 825 illustrates contact
information, such as Work Phone, Work Fax, Mobile Phone, Home Phone, E-
Mail Address, IM Address, and Web Page. Other information blocks include
Contact Owner, vCard Group and Type 807, as well as information on the
maintenance of the contact (i.e., Created By and Modified By) and its viewing
Permissions 824.
Address information is provided in separate blocks of information,
such as Home 823 and Work Address fields 808, which provides the ability to

map the contact in the application. Other contact fields blocks include a block
809 with alternate email addresses (i.e., E-Mail 2, E-Mail 3) and Pager and
Car Phone numbers, and a block 822 with the Home Fax number,
Anniversary, Spouse, and Children information fields. A final block 810 is
provided for the notes field. The summation of all of these individual blocks of
information provides complete Contact (i.e., vCard) information for any
contact. A user can also edit 801, copy 802, print 803, and delete 804 the
contact. Finally, an image 826 associated with the Contact is displayed to the
user alongside the other Contact data. This invention also allows a user to
obtain driving directions 805 to and from the contact
In accordance with the preferred embodiment, the Telecommunication
Call Events made to the Telecommunication Devices associated with the
signed-in user that were initiated or received by the viewed Contact are
preferably displayed, as all of the Telecommunication Call Events that were
captured for said user are stored on the online ASP 123 system. For example,
in one embodiment as shown in FIG. 8, the call history 811 is provided for the
user 800 that had calls with 812 various other Contacts, which may be the
same said user or another user within the same team as said user. If a Contact
name is provided, the Contact Owner field 820 is also displayed, since each
contact belongs to someone (i.e., another user which is responsible for the
maintenance of a contact). The call history 811 displays each call's "From
Phone" 815 and "To Phone" 816 phone number identifiers, as well as the start
817 and end 818 time of the call and the call's duration 819. This list only
provides a subset of the complete call history for this Contact 800, and the
user can choose the length of this displayed subset by selecting the number of
records displayed per page 813. To view the Contact's 800 complete call
history, a user can click on a button 814 in the webpage. Additionally, a user
can also send an e-mail to this contact by clicking a different button 821 in the
web page.
As illustrated in FIG. 9, preferably all of the contact fields can be
edited, except the Created By and Modified By fields. Additionally in one
embodiment, each contact can have different permissions 903 associated with
it, since a contact can be shared by a group of users if it is a public contact. In

one embodiment, each Contact can be placed in a folder or Group 901 and
each Contact has an associated Type 902 that can be changed as shown below
in the following tables.

Furthermore, each Contact can have an image (826 & 904) associated
with it, which is uploaded to the server by clicking on the "Upload Contact
Photograph" 905 button. The Path 906 of the image 904 on the local machine
is displayed to the user in the web page. When all changes save been made, a
user clicks a button to apply changes 900 using a mouse in a web browser,
which is known to all people that are skilled in the art.
As illustrated in FIG. 10, it is possible to create a new Contact 1000
and enter in all of the available information fields for a Contact, except the
Created By and Modified By fields.

Searching for Call History 1100 fox a team's members can be
implemented using a date and time range. As illustrated in FIG. 11, a user can
select either a predefined time range 1101, such as Today's date 1103 or can
select from a group of time range identifiers 1102. For each search and in this
preferred embodiment, a user is required to select the member or group of
members 1104 and the type of call 1106, such as an mwming, outgoing, or
missed call. In order to generate the call history view, after selecting the
required fields, a user simply clicks on the generate button 1105.
Additionally, this call history view 1100 preferably displays an
overview of a team's members 1110 and their phone statistics, such as Last
Phone Synchronization time 1111 and Last Login 1112 either on the phone or
the web site, and provides links to view the call history 1120 for incoming
1121, outgoing 1122, and missed 1123 calls. This view can also enable the
remote synchronization of Telecommunication Call Events by checking a box
1109 and clicking the synchronize button 1107. The team's call history
information can also be printed by clicking on a print button 1108.
When a Call History 1200 view is generated, it provides information
illustrating the type of call history, such as incoming, outgoing, missed, or all
calls 1201. The call history information identifies who the user had
conversations with 1207 and can be generated for a plurality of
Telecommunication Devices associated with the user's account. General call
history information fields include "From Phone" 1208, "To Phone" 1209,
"Start Time" 1210, "End Time" 1211, "Duration" 1212, and the "Contact
Owner" 1213 of the contact if any exists. A link next to each phone number
(both From and To) provides a way to Map (1215 & 1216) that phone
number's location at the time the call was made or received or Map (1215 &
1216) the vCard's home or business address that is associated with said phone
number. The number of call history records per page (1214 & 1206) can vary
and previous 1204 or next 1205 page information can also be displayed. The
entire or subset of said call history can be printed 1202 or exported 1203 by
clicking the appropriate buttons on the web page.
The preferred embodiment of the present invention also includes a find
on map 1300 functionality, which, in one embodiment, allows a user to search

and map addresses 1301, places 1302, area code and prefix phone number
information 1303, and latitude and longitude map coordinates 1304. Every
time an address is searched for and found it is stored for future use by the
Recent Locations 1305 feature on the web page. This allows a drop down
menu for users to select from a number of recent pre-defined locations that
were mapped on the web page. When entering an address, typically the fields
required are a street address 1306, city 1307, state 1308, zip code 1309, and
country 1310. After all or a subset of said information has been entered, a map
can be generated by clicking on a button or link 1311 in this embodiment.
Finding a place or POI1302 is a similar process, but typically the only
field that is required to be entered is the place name 1312 or description, such
as the phone number, address, or the like as known to those that are skilled in
the art. A map can be generated by clicking on a button or link 1313 in this
embodiment. Additionally, a map of an area code and prefix 1303 can be
obtained by entering said information 1314 and clicking on a button or link
1315 in this embodiment. In a similar manner, a user can enter latitude 1316
and longitude 1317 coordinates and click on a button or link 1318 in this
embodiment to map the coordinates' location. For the case where a user
entered a place name 1302 and requested a map 1313, if an exact match was
not found a list of partial matches 1400 & 1401 is provided, as illustrated in
FIG. 14. This partial list of information will highlight the closest matches 1402
and display a listing of the next immediate partial matches 1403. A user need
only select a suitable match and click on a button or link 1404 to obtain a map
in this embodiment.
After a map has been obtained, as shown in FIG. 15, it will be
displayed on a different web page 1500 illustrating the essence of the map
1506 and a mechanism to zoom 1501 and pan 1506 around the map. The
panning 1506 is simply performed by clicking on the new center point of the
map as known to people that are skilled in the art, or by selecting some other
button in the direction of the desired pan. A user can add this mapped location
to their Contacts 1502 or can print 1503 or E-Mail 1504 this map.
Additionally, this location can be added to an origin or destination of a route

for the purpose of creating driving directions 1505 to or from this location. At
anytime a user can obtain a new map 1507 for another location.
As illustrated in FIG. 16, one embodiment of this invention allows a
user to request driving directions 1600 from an entered starting address (i.e.,
origin) 1601 to an entered destination address 1604. A list of recent locations
1603 is available to the user in addition to the standard fields for mapping a
location, such as the street address 1605, city 1606, state 1607 and zip code
1608. A user need only enter the required fields and may obtain a map by
clicking on a button or link 1609 in this embodiment. After a successful search
for the locations of the entered origin and destination addresses or selected
locations is completed, a route is computed and driving directions are
displayed in a new web page 1700. The resulting driving directions are
summarized by displaying the start 1706 and end 1707 addresses, total trip
driving distance, and total trip drive time 1710. Also provided is another
opportunity to add the start 1706 or end 1707 address to the user's Contacts
database by pressing a button next to the address (1708 & 1709). As another
means of summarizing the route, a map of the destination location 1704 and a
map of the entire route 1705 are displayed. Detailed driving directions 1711
are displayed in a list with route maneuver order numbers, maneuver
instructions (i.e., "Turn Left on Jamboree Rd."), elapsed distance, and a
graphical representation of the maneuver (i.e., left turn arrow). The driving
directions view can be printed with the displayed maps 1702, without maps
and just as text directions 1703, or can be emailed 1701.
FIG. 18 illustrates the setup view 1801 which offers options available
to a user setting up its account, and displays the user's name 1802 that the
options apply to. The setup view 1801 may offer options for the following
settings: Personal Settings 1803, such as editing the user's personal
information or password; Tools 1804, such as wizards for importing or
deleting numerous Contacts; Phone Settings 1805, such as adding, editing or
deleting phones associated with said user's account, or changing the user's
mobile access PIN; and Administration Settings 1806 for authorized users,
such as for managing the members of the user's team, changing password
policies, and viewing login history and member statistics.

FIG. 19a illustrates the various fields associated with a user's Personal
Information 1900, which is part of a user's Personal Settings 1803. The user's
Personal Information 1900 fields are very similar to those of a Contact, since
in a team this user can serve as a Contact and said user's Personal Information
1900 can serve as that Contact's information. Personal Information 1900 fields
may include several blocks of information. For example, general account
settings (1905 & 1911) may be described by username, nickname, permission
level, user account status (active/disabled), last login date and time, disk space
used by this account, user's time zone, user's preference for receiving the
company's product newsletter, and the user's typical schedule for
consideration in reports. More specific user identification information 1906
can be specified by name, job title, company, department, birthday, the direct
supervisor of the user, and the source of this user's involvement with the team,
if there is one. The user can then categorize its own Group and Type, being its
own Contact Owner 1907, and the user can identify its contact information as
private if necessary 1913. A user's contact information includes the usual
address and phone number fields, such as Work 1908 and Home 1914 Street
Address, City, State, Zip, and Country, Work and Home Phone and Fax, and
Mobile Phone numbers (1912 & 1915). Other forms of contact such as Email
Addresses, IM Address, Web Page, Pager and Car Phone numbers (1912 &
1909) can also be included. For more personal notes, the user can enter
information about their Anniversary, Spouse, and Children 1915, or
miscellaneous information in the Notes field 1910.
Whenever a user's Personal Information 1900 is created or modified
1913, the time of that activity is recorded and also displayed along with the
information. Once a user's Personal Information 1900 is recorded, the user can
Edit 1901 its own personal information, view or modify its Group Permissions
1902, view its Login History 1903, or Change its Password 1904. From this
detailed view of Personal Information 1900, a user can follow links provided
to map the work or home address, to send an email to a clicked-on email
address, to visit a clicked-on web page address (i.e., URL), or to view detailed
call history for a clicked-on phone number.

FIG. 19b illustrates a sample list of Groups and their Permissions
1925, where each Group is identified by a pre-defined name 1926 and has a
permission setting 1927. The permission setting 1927 determines if a Group,
by which Contacts are grouped, is considered private or public. If a Group is
made public, then all Contacts with that Group assignment are also made
public and can be viewed in full detail by all team members. If a Group is
made private, then all Contacts with that Group assignment are also made
private and can be viewed in detail only by the Contact Owner.
FIG. 19c illustrates an example of a user's login history 1950, where
each login event is identified by the time the user signed in 1951, the IP
Address the user logged in from 1952, and the result of the login attempt 1953,
whether it succeeded or failed.
FIG. 20 illustrates an example of a user's phone assignments 2000,
which is part of a user's Phone Settings 1805. All of the user's phone
assignments, that is, those phones that are associated with said user's account,
are listed 2001, and each phone assignment is described by its phone number
and the time the phone was activated on said user's account. A phone number
can be treated as a unique identifier, because, as previously described, a phone
number can only be associated to one account, although an account may have
multiple phone numbers associated with it. A phone assignment may be
removed at anytime by clicking a Remove button next to the phone number to
be removed.
A phone assignment may also be easily added, as illustrated in FIG.
21. A user may add a phone 2100, which is part of a user's Phone Settings
1805, for its own account, of for another team member's account if the user
has the appropriate permissions. The user whose account the phone
assignment is being added to is identified by displaying that user's username
2601. In one embodiment, to add a phone assignment the user needs two
pieces of information, the phone number 2102 and the phone's PIN 2103. The
phone's PIN 2103 is obtained during the phone application's registration
process, which requires communication with the server to allow the server to
authorize registration, ensuring the phone number in question is not assigned
to any other user accounts, and to allow the server to provide the phone

application with a valid PIN. The phone's owner or user then uses that PIN on
the web page to complete the process of associating that phone to the user's
account. This ensures that the user requesting the phone addition has physical
access to the phone, either directly or indirectly through a communicating
phone user, and is thereby permitted to request the assignment. To complete
the addition of a phone assignment, the user enters the required information
and presses the Add Phones button 2104. Once the phone number is cleared
for assignment and the PIN is verified, the new phone assignment is complete.
Another part of a user's Phone Settings 1805 is the ability to change
the user's Mobile Access PIN 2200, as illustrated in FIG. 22. The Mobile
Access PIN is the password used on the phone's application to access the
user's account features, such as Contacts, My Recent Places, etc. The
username 2201 for the user whose Mobile Access PIN will be changed is
specified 2202, since users with appropriate permissions can also change
another user's Mobile Access PIN. This may be useful, for example, when an
employee leaves a company and the supervisor wants to ensure that the ex-
employee can not access his/her old account anymore. To set a new Mobile
Access PIN, the user enters the new Mobile Access PIN 2203 and confirms
the entry by typing it in again 2204, and then presses the Apply Changes
button 2205 to complete the change.
For use by teams, a team administrator should preferably be able to
quickly view and modify the teams account settings. FIG. 23 illustrates the
Administration Settings 2300 that a team administrator can use to manage the
team's members. A team administrator can get a quick overview of the team in
a tabular format, such as that illustrated, which summarizes each team
member's name 2307, username 2308, nickname 2309, account status (active
or disabled) 2310, and permission level 2311. Each member's information can
be edited, simply by clicking on the Edit link 2305. next to the member's
name, or by clicking on the links on the member's name 2307, username 2308,
and nickname 2309. Multiple members' password can be reset by the
administrator by checking the Password Reset checkbox 2306 next to each
member whose password should be reset and pressing the Update button 2301.
This overview of the team's member can be sorted, by clicking on any of the

column headers, such as Name 2307, and can also be sorted by a specific letter
or numerically 2302. The number of team members to display per web page
2312 may be selectable and the page number currently being viewed 2303 is
also displayed. An administrator can move from page to page using Previous
Page and Next Page links 2304. Clicking on a user's account status link 2310
will allow the administrator to change that user's account status from Active to
Disabled or Disabled to Active. Clicking on a user's Permission Level link
2311 will allow the user to change that user's permission level, giving them
more or less account privileges that their current settings provide. For
example, a user who has Permission Level Account Manager can be made into
an Administrator in order to increase that user's access and/or control over
more of the team's functions and settings. Likewise, a user may be given a
lower Permission Level in order to restrict that user's access and/or control
more over the team's and/or user account's functions and settings.
FIG. 24 illustrates an additional safety feature that helps administrator
ensure their users' account information is accessed only by those users.
Another part of Administration Settings 2300, Password Policies 2400 allow
an administrator to require that all team members reset their passwords
routinely in order to keep passwords secure and less prone to hacking 2401.
To do this, an administrator simply specifies an expiration period 2405, after
which the team's current passwords expire. To ward off hacker attempts, the
administrator can set the maximum number of failed login attempts 2402
before a login attempt is no longer allowed. This too is a setting that can be
changed simply by editing the current value displayed 2406. Once the
maximum number of failed login attempts 2402 has been reached, the user
attempting to login is "locked out" for a pre-defined period of time 2403. This
lockout effective period 2403 can be adjusted from its current value simply by
changing the period value 2407. Any changes made to any of the Password
Policies values can be applied by pressing the Apply Changes button 2404.
Another part of Administrator Settings 2300 is being able to view
Member Statistics 2500, as illustrated in FIG. 25. The administrator can get an
at-a-glance overview of the team's usage of the application and the website
and the amount of storage space currently used. This overview summarizes the

whole team's statistics, such as by displaying the total number of contacts
created by the team 2501 or the total amount of disk space used by the team
2502. The overview also summarizes each member's statistics in a tabular
format, where the members can be viewed alphabetically, by a particular
letter, or numerically 2503. Each team member in the overview is identified by
its name 2505 and username 2506, and the member's displayed statistics
include the number of contacts created 2507, the number of contacts
synchronized to the phone 2508, and the amount of disk space used by that
team member's account 2509. Clicking on any of the column headers sorts the
overview list according to the clicked column data type. Clicking on the links
where the data values are, such as on the team member's name or username,
will link to more information on that user in reference to the data type clicked.
Multiple web pages of members may be necessary, depending on the number
of members the administrator chooses to display per page 2511, and the
administrator can scroll to the next and previous pages using a link 2510,
while the currently viewed page is numbered and displayed 2504.
As people skilled in the art will appreciate, searching for Places and
Trips (i.e., Directions or Routes) on a mobile wireless telephone is a daunting
task, primarily due to the limited form factor of the wireless telephone (i.e.,
Telecommunication Device). As illustrated in FIG. 26 a wireless telephone
2600 is comprised of a display 2601 and a keypad 2614. As people skilled in
the art understand, a user can maneuver around a wireless telephone's GUI
2601 using a rocker 2603 and a select button 2602 which simulates the
functionality of a personal computer mouse. For this embodiment, as
illustrated in FIG. 26, a GUI 2607 is shown displaying a menu of options that
illustrates a graphical interface for searching for places (2609 & 2611) and
trips (2610 & 2612) and for displaying maps 2613 on a wireless telephone.
This GUI 2607 is illustrated by magnifying the projection (2604 & 2605) of
the wireless phone's GUI 2607 in order to aid in the illustration of this
invention.
In one embodiment, using a web browser it is possible to display a web
page 2715 that illustrates the core functionality of finding a Place. A Place
2700 is typically defined as having a geographical location, such as an address

which can further derive a Place's latitude and longitude coordinates. A Place
2700 that is derived from a realizable address can be shown on a Map 2705 of
varying resolution and size. A Map typically allows a user to zoom in or out
2703 or to pan around the Map 2705. As illustrated in this invention, a Place
2700 does not have to be saved, as required by prior art systems. As people
skilled in the art will appreciate, geographical locations (i.e., Places) that were
found using the ASP system 123 aie cached by the system and displayed to the
user in the Last Activity 2706 portion of the web page 2715. This illustrates
not only saved and cached (i.e., not purposely saved by the user) Places (2707
& 2708 & 2709), but also saved and cached Trips (2710 & 2711 & 2712).
Saved Places and Trips are accessible using the "My Recent Places" 2714 and
"My Recent Trips" 2713 links from this web page 2715. The "Last Activity"
2706 preferably embodies all activity (i.e., in reverse chronological order)
initiated by the user on the web page 2715 and on one or more of their
Telecommunication Devices or remote computing devices, and which was
registered since the user was authenticated and recorded by the ASP system
123. For example, a user may have searched fiom the Place "My Fishing Hole
#2" 2708 on their wireless telephone and then searched for the address "18872
Bardeen Avenue, Irvine, CA 92612" via the web page 2715. This search is
illustrated in the "Last Activity" 2706 section of this web page. It should be
appreciated by those skilled in the art that this "Last Activity" 2706 illustrates
searches from multiple computing devices that had, at one time, a direct
connection with the ASP system 123. It should also be appreciated by those
skilled in the art that any geographical search (e.g., POI, Address,
Latitude/Longitude Coordinates, etc.), can be saved as a Place 2701 or
waypoint. Additionally, any geographical search can be used as a route
destination point 2702 (i.e., Start, End, Via, or Stop point). FIG. 27 illustrates
only a Start and End 2702 point, however this invention supports Via and Stop
points as known to those that are skilled in the art. Additionally, a user can
initiate a geographical search 2704 from this web page 2715 to find another
Place 2700.
Additionally, FIG. 28a illustrates a GUI display (2800 & 2601) of the
"Recent Places" 2801 view on the wireless telephone 2600. It should be

appreciated by those skilled in the art that this "Recent Places" 2801 view
illustrates Places that were both saved and viewed or searched on the wireless
telephone 2600 and on the web page 2715. As people skilled in the art will
appreciate, this allows a user to plan on the web page 2715 and view the
results on their wireless telephone without having to initiate the search on the
wireless telephone's 2600 application. For example, in this embodiment the
user had searched for a map of the address "18872 Bardeen Avenue, Irvine,
CA 92612" using the wireless telephone 2600, but also searched previously on
the web page 2715 for their stored Places (2803 & 2804 & 2806) and searched
addresses 2805 and POI's (2806 & 2807) that were done while signed in to the
web page 2715 that was accessing the ASP system 123.
Illustrated in FIG. 28b, after searching for a Place 2851 on the wireless
telephone 2600 a user is able to display the Recent Place's 2850 detailed
information. This information can consist of a business 2852 address 2853,
telephone 2854, fax number 2855, e-mail address 2856 and a link to view a
Map 2857 of this Place's location or create a route 2858 to the Place's address
2853. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that a route can be
dynamically generated using the wireless telephone's 2600 GPS interface 307
to create a real-time route from the mobile position of the wireless telephone
2600.
Similar to the "Recent Places" 2801 view, as illustrated in FIG. 29, is
the "Recent Trips" 2901 view on the wireless telephone's 2600 GUI display
(2900 & 2601). It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that this
"Recent Trips" 2901 view illustrates Trips that were both saved and viewed on
the wireless telephone 2600 and on the web page 2715. As people skilled in
the art will appreciate, this allows a user to plan on the web page 2715 and
view the results on their wireless telephone without having to create a Trip on
the wireless telephone's 2600 application. For example, in this embodiment
the user had created a Trip starting from the address "18872 Bardeen Avenue,
Irvine, CA 92612" to the destination address "32314 Golden Lantern, Laguna
Niguel, CA 92677' on the web page 2715 as illustrated in FIG. 16 & FIG. 17.
The wireless telephone 2600 displays and can retrieve both the created and
cached Trips 2904, as well as the created and saved Trips (i.e., Trips that were

named) (2902 & 2903 & 2905 & 2906) from either the ASP system 123 or the
Trips that were created and/or stored on the wireless telephone 2600.
FIG. 30 depicts a Trip 3012 and Driving Directions 3000 which were
calculated and displayed using a web page 3028 as known to those that are
skilled in the art. As those that are skilled in the art will appreciate, FIG. 30
illustrates the method and system for creating a Trip 3012 with a plurality of
destination points (3008 & 3010 & 3013) including a start point (3006 &
3001) and an end point (3016 & 3002). A Trip 3012 can be associated with a
plurality of database records (3007 & 3009 & 3011 & 3014 & 3015) that were
created and synchronized or transferred from the Telecommunication Device
and were collected using the Telecommunication Device's specific interfaces,
such as a camera interface 304 as illustrated in FIG. 3. For example, in one
embodiment, a user plans a Trip 3012 on the web page 3028. The Trip has a
travel time and driving distance 3005 as known to those skilled in the art.
Additionally, the Trip has start 3001 and end 3002 points, which in this
invention can be added to a user's saved Places using the "Add to Place"
buttons for both the start 3003 and end 3004 points. After the user creates a
route, they can journey along the route and take pictures or images using their
wireless telephone's integrated camera 304. This allows a user to associate
their Trip 3012 with the wireless telephone's camera. Each image (3007 &
3009 & 3011 & 3014 & 3015) that is recorded along the Trip 3012 has a time
stamp and GPS coordinates that are associated with the image. Images with
GPS coordinates are not required, but are the preferred embodiment for this
invention.
After the images have been taken, they can be synchronized or
transferred in real-time or in a batch process to the ASP system 123. One the
user signs back into the web page 3028, they are able to review their entire trip
and the photographs that they recorded during their Trip 3012 in the order that
they took the pictures. As people that are skilled in the art will appreciate, the
web page 3028 displays a timeline 3017 illustrating the chronological
procession of the trip and the start 3018, destination (3020 & 3022 & 3024),
and end point 3027 of the Trip 3012, in addition to the images that were taken
along the Trip (3019 & 3021 & 3023 & 3025 & 3026) that map directly to the

locations where the images were taken on the mapped route (3007 & 3009 &
3011 & 3014 & 3015). It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that
the Trip does not need to be created in advance, since a Trip is defined as
having a Start and an End location, all of which can be calculated using a GPS
device, which can determine when a device, such as a wireless telephone, has
stopped moving for a defined period of time or the like. This type of GPS
application that determines when a Telecommunication Device has stopped
moving is currently available in the art. One embodiment of this type of
application that determines when a wireless telephone has stopped moving is
known as the "AtlasTrack" application owned and licensed by Networks In
Motion, Inc. of Irvine, California. When a user signs into the web page 3028,
the user is able to review their images in a Trip or Route format which was
automatically created by the ASP system 123, and displayed to the user for
their review. This allows a user to view their photographs both chronologically
and spatially.
It should be noted that the present invention may be embodied in forms
other than the preferred embodiments described above without departing from
the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The specification contained
herein provides sufficient disclosure for one skilled in the art to implement the
various embodiments of the present invention, including the preferred
embodiment, which should be considered in all aspect as illustrative and not
restrictive; all changes or alternatives that fall within the meaning and range or
equivalency of the claim are intended to be embraced within.
