<p>A method for entering contact information into a mobile computing device using location sensing of the mobile device is provided. Upon entry of the auto-fill mode (12) via a setup menu or mode in the mobile computing device, the device's location is determined (14). Once the location of the device is determined, the user is provided with one or more possible contacts based on the mobile device's location coordinates (24). The user can select from the list and save the selected contact, or may request any one of several options. For example, the user may select a contact and request to edit it (34) after it has been initially saved. The user may opt not to select one of the contacts from the list and request an additional attempt by the system. It is further possible the system will not provide any possible contacts to the user, in which case the user can manually enter the contact (10, 12) or quit the auto-fill mode.</p> |
