CONTACT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

摘要

An improved contact management system allows users to establish contact sharing relationships with one another and store updating contacting information for these users alongside static contact information for other users in personal, private data collections. The system may allow a user to specify various levels of information sharing and customize communication options by which other users may contact them. The system may provide seamless integration with legacy contact management and/or and communication systems.
