TELEPHONE MEMORY AID

摘要

The present invention is a telephone memory aid that is focused on how to capture information during a telephone call and allow entry of information by the user or other party into a database that may be used in future calls. In future calls, the telephone memory aid would allow the user to call or be called by a desired second party and see all of the stored personal information related to the second party. This might include name, date of last call, topics that were discussed in the last telephone call, names of family members, vacation plans, hobbies, and similar such information. The purpose is to improve the conversation flow and communications between the parties of the telephone call. The apparatus to accomplish the invention is as follows. The telephone memory aid has a first telephone unit of a primary party, which communicates with a second telephone unit of a secondary party and a database for storing personal information about the secondary party. The telephone memory aid also has a microprocessor communicating with the database for retrieving the personal information of the secondary party. The primary party has a means for reviewing the personal information of the secondary party obtained from the database. An information entry system allows the primary and secondary party to enter information about the secondary party into the database. This secondary party information is available to the primary party on the means for reviewing during future phone calls with the secondary party. The information entry system may also enter information into the database through speech recognition algorithms in the microprocessor and through question and answer sessions with the primary and secondary parties.
