NETWORK-BASED PROCESSING OF DATA REQUESTS FOR CONTACT INFORMATION

摘要

A system, method and computer-readable media for managing contact information via a network-based interface. A network resource transmits a data request to a contact information processing service. The contact information processing service processes the data request in accordance with the parameters included in the data request and information maintained by the contact information processing service. Examples of the processing facilitated by the contact information processing service include contact identification routines, contact verification routines, group-based information routines, and communication information routines. The contact information processing service returns the results to the requesting network resource.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
obtaining, from a network resource hosted on a communication device, a data request including identifiers to a first set of contacts; deriving target organizational criteria for identification of group-based information based on processing the data request with data processing information maintained in a data store on behalf of an identifiable entity, wherein the data processing information associates the identifiable entity to one or more contacts; identifying a second set of contacts from the data processing information based at least partly on the target organizational criteria; determining one or more applications or executable components based at least partly on the target organizational criteria; generating group-based information including identifiers to the second set of contacts and the one or more applications or executable components; and returning the group-based information to the network resource, wherein the method is implemented by a computing system under control of executable program code.
