Patent number: 8140620Abstract: A method, a system, and an apparatus for permitting a user to remain in contact with at least one other person. The present invention provides a method, a system, and an apparatus that is capable of enabling a user to remain in contact with others through a service that checks contacts set up in a predetermined contact list. The contact list is then contacted and the user is contacted with the results. As such, the present invention permits the user to remain in contact with a significant number of entities while saving time and effort by ensuring the user is only contacted with certain information. The system and method also permits the user to remain in contact even when the user is unavailable.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2008Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Thomas E. Creamer, Peeyush Jaiswal, Victor S. Moore, Anilkumar B. Patel
