System and method for access and communication between a converged network-based address book system and a user device

摘要

A method of sharing contacts within a converged address book system having a converged address book server, the method receiving from a requestor, at the converged address book server, a request for a contact to be shared with a recipient identified in the request; obtaining contact information for the contact from a repository; and delivering the shared contact to the recipient. Also, a method for interaction with a legacy address book system from a network based converged address book system, the method receiving a request to import legacy address book data from a legacy address book system; contacting the legacy address book system and supplying access parameters; retrieving data from the legacy address book system; and storing the imported data in a network based address book storage.

1. A method performed by an address book server for importing legacy address book data, the method comprising:
receiving at an address book server a first request, transmitted via an XML document management server (XDMS), from an address book client to import user-information from a third party non-converged address book system, wherein receiving the first request is in response to the address book server sending an XML Configuration Access Protocol (XCAP) GET to the XDMS; sending from the address book server a second request, in response to the first request, to access the user-information from the third party non-converged address book system, wherein the second request comprises a domain element that identifies the third party non-converged address book system; receiving at the address book server user address book data based on the second request; sending from the address book server the received user address book data for storage; and sending from the address book server to the address book client a notification to trigger a synchronization between the address book client and the storage.
