Method for storage and/or updation of contact information e.g. name, on e.g. netbook, based on e.g. double sided visiting card, involves transmitting contact information corresponding to visiting card from server to communication apparatus

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The method involves providing a corresponding visiting card (20), and capturing a front side of the visiting card by a camera (11) of a mobile or stationary communication apparatus (10). The captured image of the front side is compared with visiting card images stored in a database, where the visiting card is determined to be unique if the captured front side does not matches with the stored images. Contact information corresponding to the visiting card is transmitted from a server (30) to the communication apparatus, where the image comparison relies on comparison of patterns of the cards. #CMT# : #/CMT# Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system for storage and/or updation of contact information on a mobile or stationary communication apparatus based on a visiting card (2) a computer program product for performing a method for storage and/or updation of contact information on a mobile or stationary communication apparatus based on a visiting card. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Method for storage and/or updation of contact information e.g. name, address, phone number, and webpage address, on a mobile or stationary communication apparatus e.g. stationary apparatus such as personnel computer or workstation, and mobile apparatus such as netbook, handheld phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), mobile radio, and smartphone, based on a visiting card i.e. double sided and two-language printed visiting cards (claimed). Can also be used for personal data, personal records, advertising material, photo, or film and/or music sequences, and other printed products such as literature, advertisement and announcements. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The method eliminates manual storage and/or updation of the contact information in the mobile or stationary communication apparatus. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic representation of a system for storage and/or updation of contact information on a mobile or stationary communication apparatus based on a visiting card. 10 : Mobile or stationary communication apparatus 11 : Camera 20 : Visiting card 30 : Server.
