  • Patent number: 6115617
    Abstract: When it is attempted to enter a phone number and a corresponding ID name into an already full phone book database for a phone, the phone temporarily stores the phone number and ID name in an intermediate memory. Then the phone asks the user whether he wants to overwrite an existing phone number and ID name in a memory location of the phone book. The user is allowed to point out a memory location to overwrite, and then the contents of the intermediate memory are transferred to the memory location pointed out for storage.
