Method and system for date transfer from a cellular communications-device application to a telecommunications network

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an information-transfer system that operates within a cell phone. The information-transfer system includes a data-transfer application that, prior to displaying a user interface with a call feature that allows a user to invoke a cell-phone application to place a phone call, places information to transfer to the cell-phone application in an information block for transfer to the cell-phone application. The information-transfer system further includes the cell-phone application, which receives the information block, extracts, from the information block, data for transfer to a telecommunications network, and transfers the extracted data to the telecommunications network.

1. An information-transfer system that operates within a cell phone, the information-transfer system comprising:
at least one processor; wherein the at least one processor comprises: a data-transfer application that, when executed, places information for transfer to a cell-phone application in an information block prior to a user interface being displayed, the data-transfer application configured to cause, based on user selection, a cell-phone application to be executed in order to place a phone call, the information block including a number of information fields each comprising a tag and associated data, at least a portion of the associated data in the information fields being displayed to the user by the data-transfer application; and the cell-phone application configured, when executed, to: receive the information block; display the information fields for selection by a user; extract, from the information block, data for transfer to a party of a phone call when a phone call is placed based on user selection of one of the information fields; and transfer the extracted data to the party of a phone call when a phone call is placed; wherein, the cell-phone application is configured such that when a phone call is placed and when the cell-phone application transfers extracted data to the party of the phone call, the cell-phone application waits for subsequent user selection of another of the information fields, and wherein the cell-phone application is adapted such that, while the cell-phone application waits, the user and the party of the phone call can communicate.
