Abstract

Files are easily located based on addresses associated with calls. When a call is processed to, or received at, an address, the address may be used to query a database. The database stores associates between addresses and files stored in memory. All filenames related to the address may be displayed, thus allowing a user to quickly launch the files associated with a calling number.

Claims (37)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving a call at a device;

receiving caller identification information associated with the call;

storing associations between the caller identification information and files stored in memory of the device;

searching the memory to identify which of the files are associated with the caller identification information; and

causing presentation of a list of all the files that are associated with the caller identification information on a screen of the device.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising displaying a graphical user interface comprising the list of all the files.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising synchronizing the caller identification information to the files stored in memory of the device.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising displaying a dialog box comprising the list of all the files.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising automatically displaying the list of all the files.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising receiving a selection of one of the files in the list of all the files.

7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising launching an application program associated with the selection of the one file.

8. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

memory for storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

processing a call;

receiving an address associated with the call;

querying a network database that stores associations between addresses and files;

retrieving a list of all the files associated with the address; and

sending the list to a destination associated with the call.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise storing the network database.

10. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a response to the query.

11. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise routing the call to the destination associated with the call.

12. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise routing the list to the destination associated with the call.

13. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving caller identification information as the address.

14. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a selection of one of the files in the list.

15. A computer readable memory storing instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:

receiving a call at a device;

receiving caller identification information associated with the call;

storing associations between the caller identification information and files stored in memory of the device;

searching the memory to identify which of the files are associated with the caller identification information; and

causing presentation of a list of all the files that are associated with the caller identification information on a screen of the device.

16. The computer readable memory according to claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise displaying a graphical user interface comprising the list of all the files.

17. The computer readable memory according to claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise synchronizing the caller identification information to the files stored in memory of the device.

18. The computer readable memory according to claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise displaying a dialog box comprising the list of all the files.

19. The computer readable memory according to claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise automatically displaying the list of all the files.

20. The computer readable memory according to claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise receiving a selection of one of the files in the list.
