<p>A telecommunications network element automatically creates a database (25) for use by network users to speed access to network addresses. In accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the invention relating to telephone network speed dialing, the technique involves the automatic determination of likely called telephone numbers (55) for a given customer based on records of actual network usage (15) by the customer. Such records are examined for a given period of time to determine a set of most frequently called numbers. These numbers are then stored as a telephone number repertory file in a network node database (25). This file is associated with the customer's own telephone number. Each frequently dialed number is stored with a corresponding code which may be searched as an index to the numbers (65). The correspondence between the stored numbers and codes is reported to the customer so that the customer may 'speed-dial' the code and, through conventional operation of the node, initiate a network connection to the called party.</p> |
