Method and system for transmitting an address into an electronic form for a participant of a communication link

1. A method for populating an electronic conference form comprising:

establishing a conference between a plurality of conference participants, the plurality of conference participants being associated with a plurality of end devices and being associated with a plurality of workstations;

an activating participant of the plurality of conference participants activating a Computer Telephony Integration (“CTI”) application, the CTI application being stored on a server that is connected to the plurality of end devices and the plurality of workstations;

the CTI application capturing a plurality of directory numbers of the plurality of associated end devices during the established conference;

the CTI application converting the plurality of captured directory numbers so that each of the converted directory numbers is in the same format;

the CTI application retrieving communication information for each of the plurality of conference participants by interrogating a database using the converted directory numbers, the communication information comprising at least one of an email address of each of the plurality of conference participants and a name of each of the plurality of conference participants;

the CTI application transferring the communication information of the plurality of conference participants to a first Personal Information Management (“PIM”) application stored on a first workstation of the activating conference participant;

the CTI application generating a recording of the established conference;

the first PIM application automatically populating an electronic conference form with at least one of the email addresses of each of the plurality of conference participants and the names of each of the plurality of conference participants via the retrieved communication information;

terminating the established conference; and

sending the electronic conference form and the generated recording to a plurality of PIM applications stored on the plurality of workstations of the plurality of conference participants.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the first PIM application displaying the electronic conference form to the activating conference participant.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the electronic conference form comprises an appointment inquiry form or a meeting inquiry form.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the established conference comprises a voice conference or a video conference.

5. The method of claim 1 further comprising the first PIM application determining a first available date for a future conference between the plurality of conference participants and the first PIM application automatically populating the electronic conference form with the determined first available date for the future conference.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein at least one of the plurality of directory numbers of the plurality of associated end devices comprises an internal directory number and wherein at least one of the plurality of directory numbers of the plurality of associated end devices comprises an external directory number.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein the internal directory number comprises a telephone number of a telephone connected to a Private Branch Exchange (“PBX”) and the external directory number comprises a number of a mobile communication telephone.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of end devices comprise a plurality of telephones.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the server comprises a computer device or a switch device connected to a PBX device.

10. The method of claim 1 further comprising the first PIM application automatically populating a plurality of further input fields of the electronic conference form based on a template and wherein the plurality of further input fields comprise at least one of a subject field, a location field, a starting time field, an ending time field, and a message field.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein the electronic conference form comprises a future conference request and the method further comprising reserving a time period on a conference server for the future conference request.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein the CTI application retrieving communication information for each of the plurality of conference participants by interrogating the database using the plurality of converted directory numbers comprises interrogating the database using a Computer Supported Telecommunications Application (“CSTA”) protocol.

13. A system for populating an electronic conference form comprising:

a plurality of end devices having a plurality of directory numbers and being associated with a plurality of conference participants;

a server, the plurality of end devices being connected to the server;

a plurality of workstations associated with the plurality of conference participants, the plurality of workstations connected to the server; and

wherein the server captures the plurality of directory numbers of the plurality of associated end devices during an established conference between the plurality of conference participants upon activation by an activating participant of the plurality of conference participants; and

wherein the server converts each of the plurality of captured directory numbers so that each of the converted directory numbers is in the same format; and

wherein the server retrieves communication information for each of the plurality of conference participants by interrogating a database using the plurality of converted directory numbers; and

wherein the communication information comprises at least one of an email address of each of the plurality of conference participants and a name of each of the plurality of conference participants; and

wherein the server transfers the communication information of each of the plurality of conference participants to a first workstation of the activating conference participant; and

wherein the server generates a recording of the established conference; and

wherein the first workstation automatically populates an electronic conference form with at least one of the email addresses of each of the plurality of conference participants and the names of each of the plurality of conference participants via the retrieved communication information; and

wherein the first workstation sends the electronic conference form and the generated recording to the plurality of workstations of the plurality of conference participants after termination of the established conference.

14. The system of claim 13 wherein the first workstation displays the electronic conference form to the activating conference participant.

15. The system of claim 13 wherein the established conference comprises a voice conference, a teleconference, or a video conference.

16. The system of claim 13 wherein the first workstation determines a first available date for a future conference between the plurality of conference participants and wherein the first workstation automatically populates the electronic conference form with the determined first available date for a future conference.

17. The system of claim 13 wherein at least one of the plurality of directory numbers of the plurality of associated end devices comprises an internal directory number and wherein at least one of the plurality of directory numbers of the plurality of associated end devices comprises an external directory number.

18. The system of claim 17 wherein the internal directory number comprises a telephone number of a telephone connected to a Private Branch Exchange (“PBX”) and the external directory number comprises a number of a mobile communication telephone.

19. The system of claim 13 wherein the first workstation automatically populates a plurality of further input fields in the electronic conference form based on a template and wherein the plurality of further input fields comprise at least one of a subject field, a location field, a starting time field, an ending time field, and a message field.

20. The system of claim 13 wherein the electronic conference form comprises a future conference request and the first workstation reserves a time period on a conference server for the future conference request.
