On finishing and sending He fonn, the data would be manipulated and amended or deleted from the database, Draw4 4 As shown in Drawing 4, an Intemet enabled device (A) can manipulate He online database (B), and send a mobile phonebook contact via SMS technology to a wireless mobile device (D) The Interpret enabled device must fiat select a particular mobile phonebook contact (or contacts), on a specific database (H), and then request Hat die selected infonnation is sent to a wireless mobile device (D) as a mobile phonebook contact via SMS (I).
Technical descnption: Once the user has logged in, as described in Drawing 1, they would be presented with an Intemet page who the option to send a mobile phonebook contact to a wireless mobile device. By selecting this option, the user would be presented with a list oftheir contacts. Though a method of selocHon (e.g. checkboxes), one or more contacts would be highlighted. The user would then be able to designate which wireless mobile device would be receive tbe mobile phonebook contact. On finishing and sending the form, the relevant data is manipulated in the online database, and translated into an SMS (short menage service) message, and sent to the relevant wireless mobile device.
Drawing 5 As shown in Drawing 5, a mtebss mobile device (D) can send a mobile phonebook contact to He online database (13) via SMS technology (J) .
Technical description: The user selects a mobile phonebook contact from their wireless
mobile device. The Her would then send the desire wireless mobile to a predesignated telephone number. On sending the mobile phonebook contact to this telephone number, the mobile phonebook contact would be manipulated and added to the onilne database, by
s recognizing the telephone number ofthe wireless mobile device Mat originated the message. This vail add the mobile phonebook contact to Me relevant users data content within the online database.
Drawing 6 As shown in Drawing 6, a wireless mobile device (hi) can relieve a mobile phonebook contact (or contacts) from the online database using SMS technology.
This can be achieved by the Ageless mobile device sendmg a SMS request to Me online database (K).
Utilising the infonnation contained in Me SMS request, the online database will then select a Reticular contact and said Me infonnation as a mobile phonebook contact back to the wireless mobile device using SMS (1).
Technical description: The user would require and request a mobile phonebook contact
from their data content held on Me online database. This would be achieved by sending an SMS message from the wireless mobile device to a predesignated telephone number.
When the message is received, it would be manipulated by firstly recognising the telephone number of the wireless mobile device that originated the message. This would allow Me onlir database to search all the mobile phonebook contacts that belonged to the telephone number of the wireless mobile device that originated Me message. The online database would den try to match We content ofthe message to a stored mobile phonebook contact on the databac (e.g. sfthe message was Maul Jones', the online database would be able to select Me relevant mobile phonebook contact details of Paul Jones). On achieving a match between supplied content md a mobile phonebook contact, the database would be manipulated to send Me relevant mobile phonebook contact back to Me wireless mobile device that onginated Me message using SMS. If no match were achieved. the message Rom the online database would notify the wireless mobile device of lhc negative search result.
Drawing 7 As Sharon In Drawing 7, a wireless mobile device (D) can deleh: a mobile phonebook contact fiom the online date using SMS tecluology. This can be achieved by the wireless mobile device sending a SMS request to the online database (M). Utilising the infonnation confined in the SMS request, the online He would then delete a particular <:onta:t and send a confirmation message back to the wireless mobile device using SMS (N).
Technical description; The user would require a deletion of a particular mobile
phonebook contact Tom their data content held on Me onlme database. This would be achieved by sending an SMS message firm the wireless mobile device to a pre designated telephone number. When the message is received, it would be manipulated by firstly recognising the telephone number ofthe wireless mobile device that originated the message. 1 his would allow Be online dale to search all Me mobile phonebook contacts that belonged to the telephone number of Me wireless mobile device that originated the message. The message would continence with an identifying tag that; would notify the online database of Me action eqwred (e g. delete Paul Jones). The I Online database would then try to select a stored mobile phonebook contact on Me database (e.g. i f the message was 'delete Paul Jones', Me online database would be able to select Me relevant mobile phonebook contact details of Paul Jones and delete em). On achieving a deletion of the requested content, the database would be manipulated k' send a notification message conffrmmg We deletion back to Me wireless mobile device Mat <>riL:inated the message using SMS. If no match and deletion were achieved, the message from Be online database would nodder the wireless mobile device of the negative search result. Dravlag 8 As shown in Drawing 8' a wireless mobile Reprice (I)) can amend a mobile ph<,neh)k contact on the online database usmg SMS technology. This can be achieved by Me winless mobile device sending a SMS request to He online database (O). tJtilising, the
information contained in the SMS request, the online database would Men amend a particular contact and send a continuation message back to the wireless mobile device using SMS 03).
Technical description: The user would require an amendment of a particular mobile
phonebook contact Dom Weir dam content held on Me online database. This would be achieved by sending an SMS message fiom the wireless mobile device to a pre-
designated telephone number. When Me message is received, it would be manipulated by firstly recgnising the telephone number ofthe wireless mobile device that originated die message. This would allow the online database to search all the mobile phonebook contacts that belonged to the telephone number of the wireless mobile device that onnated the message. The mete would commence untie an identifying tag that would notify the online database ofthe action required (e.g edit Paul Jones). The online database would Men try to select a stored mobile phonebook contact on the database (e.g. if the message was 'edit Paul Jones', the online database would be able to select the relevant mobile phonebook contact details of Paul Jones and edit them). The online database would replace the old contact inonnation on We mobile phonebH'k contact I with the new information. On achieving an amendment ofthe requested content, the I dataha.;e would be manipulated to send a notification message confirming the amendment i back to Me wireless mobile device that ongmated the message using SMS. lf no match and amendment were achieved, the message fiom the online database would notify the I wireless mobile device of the negative search result.
