Method, System and Computer Readable Medium for Addressing Handling from an Operating System
A method, system and computer readable medium for information handling within an operating system, including providing a record retrieval program; providing an input device within a window or screen of the operating system and configured to enter an execute command which initiates a record retrieval from local and remote information sources using the record retrieval program; using the record retrieval program to enter first information into search fields provided in the record retrieval program; entering the execute command using the input device after the step of entering the first information; searching, using the record retrieval program, the local and remote information sources for second information associated with the first information; and displaying the second information in the record retrieval program, when one of the local and remote information sources includes second information associated with the first information.
1 . A computer implemented method for information handling in a cell phone, the method comprising:
analyzing in a computer process information electronically displayed on the cell phone to identify a portion of that information as a telephone number, without user designation of a specific part of the electronically displayed information to be subject to the analyzing;
electronically searching in an information source for the telephone number in order to find whether the telephone number is included in that information source;
when the information source includes the telephone number, if a name in the information source is associated with that telephone number, electronically displaying at least a portion of that name on the cell phone; and
providing an input device configured to initiate at least one of the foregoing processes.
2 . A method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
initiating electronic communication using the telephone number.
3 . At least one non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with instructions which, when loaded on a cell phone, establish processes for information handling in the cell phone, the processes comprising:
analyzing in a computer process information electronically displayed on the cell phone to identify a portion of that information as a telephone number, without user designation of a specific part of the electronically displayed information to be subject to the analyzing;
electronically searching in an information source for the telephone number in order to find whether the telephone number is included in that information source;
when the information source includes the telephone number, if a name in the information source is associated with that telephone number, electronically displaying at least a portion of that name on the cell phone; and
providing an input device configured to initiate at least one of the foregoing processes.
4 . At least one non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 3 , the instructions further establishing processes comprising:
initiating electronic communication using the telephone number.
5 . A cell phone, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to perform processes that include:
analyzing information electronically displayed on the cell phone to identify a portion of that information as a telephone number, without user designation of a specific part of the electronically displayed information to be subject to the analyzing;
electronically searching in an information source for the telephone number in order to find whether the telephone number is included in that information source;
when the information source includes the telephone number, if a name in the information source is associated with that telephone number, electronically displaying at least a portion of that name on the cell phone; and
providing an input device configured to initiate at least one of the foregoing processes.
6 . A cell phone according to claim 5 , wherein the memory further stores instructions executable by the processor to perform processes that include:
initiating electronic communication using the telephone number.
