Patent number: 8964965Abstract: A system for updating a network accessible address book for a user is disclosed. The system includes a network address reference detection agent that detects a network address reference resulting from user interaction with a network addressable device. Network address references include e-mail addresses, SMS addresses, and telephone numbers. After the network address reference detection agent detects an event, a user identity data store is accessed. The user identity data store provides a reverse-lookup of one or more profile elements based upon the network address reference detected by the network address reference detection agent. The system also includes a capture agent for evaluating a business rule based at least on the network address reference. If the business rule is satisfied, the capture agent provides a prompt as to whether the one or more profile elements should be added at least in part to the network accessible address book for the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2005Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jeffrey Craig Kunins, Angus MacDonald David, Lisa Stifelman, David Weiden, Adam Elman, Sarah Caplener, Rao S.
