4. DESCRIPTION:

Technical Field of the Invention

[1] The present invention generally relates to a contact management system. More particularly the present invention relates to the availability of active contacts, historical contacts and personal data in portable and fixed devices without the intervention of the device owner to maintain its currency or history.

Background of the Invention

[2] Conventionally, a common method to share one's contact information with another person is to communicate the information orally or give a printed business card to another person. The recipient has to manually enter the contact information into an address book. The address book is a key enabler for establishing social relationships. A typical address book contains a name, physical address, email address, telephone number, personal identification number, instant messaging identifier, among others, which enables one user to contact another user. In conventional methods the users store and update the contact information manually by entering the contact information into an address book or by affixing the business card or a contact entry to a record keeping system such as rolodex.

[3] Typically, the management of business and personal contact related information plays a vital role in every person's life. The management of contact related information is not only a desire, but also a requirement to stay in touch with the people. The business cards are used to exchange the contact information. The business cards are frequently collected by the recipients and these cards are stored in the physical library for the future reference. One problem in storing these cards in the physical library is the difficulty in arranging the cards information. These cards are arranged by individual name, company name or product category. The change of information is not allowed on the business card once the card is distributed. The information of a user on the business card changes frequently and the concerned user should inform to all the contacts about the changes and each recipient should manually change the data in the address book.

[4] Generally, the conventional systems designed to reduce the burden of manually entering the contact related information requires specialized hard ware and software. A business card scanner is used to scan the characters presented on the printed business card and specialized Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software identifies the scanned characters and assigns the identified characters into the appropriate data fields in the contact management system. But these systems require the purchase of high cost hardware and software. Further these systems require human oversight to ensure the accuracy of the recognized characters and placement of the data in the appropriate field. The scanning systems are typically adapted to personal computers and these are not compatible with small computing devices like personal digital assistants (PDAs), hand held computers and cellular phones. Further these scanning systems are limited to scanning the printed business cards, thus the contact information received from other conveyances like verbal or hand written requires manual data entry.

[5] Typically, a computer software is used for establishing and maintaining an electronic library of business cards, but the computer software requires manual keying of the card information into the database. The manual keying of data is time consuming, inefficient and frequently inaccurate. Generally, the electronic exchange of data is facilitated with an electronic business card using OCR or transfer of data using VCF format by Bluetooth. Conventionally there are numerous methods and the present invention exposes the weaknesses of conventional methods and further promotes and differentiates the currently proposed invention. The electronic business card application imports the data into contact management. But the draw backs associated with the electronic business card is maintaining the up-to-date contact information once conveyed, and the lack of compatibility with traditional modes of conveyance such as a standard business card, further the electronic business card also requires manual input of contact related information. Entering the contact related information into the multiple contact management applications is a time-consuming and redundant manual data entry process. The user looses the electronic business cards received from the user's business contacts due to loss, malfunction or replacement of user's communication device.

[6] Typically, the web based contact management system includes a subscriber entering the contact related information through online and shares the entered contact related information with the other online subscribers. The subscriber is allowed to update the contact related information and also to download the other subscriber's contact related information. But the drawback associated with the web based contact management system is both the subscribers should be the users of the web based system. The present invention over comes the disadvantages of the LINKEDIN and FACEBOOK applications in terms of adding the new contacts, categorizing the contact list in to a plurality of predefined groups, maintaining the list of active contacts and historical events, rating the tagging of the user profile. The present invention enables to add new contacts based on a context of location and the context of event involved in adding the new contact to the personalized address book.

[7] Hence there is a need for a system and a method which enables an individual to know who is given personal information, and the context of the exchange of personal information, grouping of the individual contacts to manage information pushed to them and further to keep them current whenever information changes.
