发明名称 Connected address book systems and methods
摘要 In an exemplary method, contacts data for a network address book is maintained, data representative of at least a portion of a local address book maintained on an access device is received over a network, and the received local address book data is used to perform at least one connected address book operation. In one example in which the contacts data includes data representative of a network address book listing associated with a user, data representative of a persona associated with the user is maintained, a request to access the network address book listing is received, and at least a subset of the data representative of the network address book listing is identified and provided in response to the request and based at least in part on the persona.

主权项 1. A method comprising: maintaining, by a server subsystem including at least one physical computing device, a network address book accessible over a network by users of a connected address book service; maintaining, by said server subsystem, a network address book listing in said network address book, said network address book listing including contacts data representing contact information for a first user of said connected address book service, said contacts data provided by said first user to said network address book for access by other users of said connected address book service; receiving, by said server subsystem from an access device over said network, a request, from a second user of said connected address book service, to preview a network address book status for a local address book listing that is included in a local address book maintained locally on said access device and that includes information about said first user of said connected address book service; in response to said request: determining, by said server subsystem, that said network address book listing included in said network address book matches said local address book listing included in said local address book, andproviding, by said server subsystem to said access device over said network, a notification indicating that said network address book includes said network address book listing that matches said local address book listing; providing, by said server subsystem to said access device, a tool for use by said second user to selectively relinquish control of said local address book listing in said local address book to said network address book; detecting, by said server subsystem, a selection by said second user to relinquish control of said local address book listing in said local address book to said network address book; and converting, by said server subsystem within said local address book and in response to said selection, said local address book listing from being said local address book listing under control of said local address book to said network address book listing under control of said network address book.
