  • Patent number: 7668507
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system, method and computer application for local communication between electronic equipment in a user-friendly manner. In one aspect of the invention, a mobile telephone initiates a search for electronic equipment having a predetermined modality and within communication range of the mobile telephone. Electronic equipment capable of responding to the request transmit information through a local interface adapter. Such information may include, for example, a unique identifier that may include a telephone number, session initiation protocol (SIP) address of the electronic equipment, user social security number, user and/or contact biometric information, and the like. By receiving the unique identifier of the electronic equipment, the mobile telephone may search an associated electronic phonebook application to identify contact information associated with the unique identifier.

  • Publication number: 20070086773
    Abstract: Method and computer program products for creating and using a graphical user interface of an electronic device are provided. In some methods, a photograph is provided as a digital image, and a segment of the image is defined as an image button, by linking an action to coordinate data of the segment, to be carried out by the electronic device responsive to clicking on the image button. The segment representing the clickable area for the image button may be defined by running an image segmentation application on the digital image to define separate segments covering objects depicted in the photograph. The action to be carried out may be associated with the object, such as a person, covered by the image button, such as presenting information about the object or initiating communication with a communication address associated with the object.
