Patent ID: 8473457

Claim:
A method of distributing contact information in a multi-component system, the method comprising: maintaining a contact record having a first field associated with a first group directive and a first geographic directive and a second field associated with a second group directive and a second geographic directive, wherein the first group directive and the second group directive each designate at least one remote component device of the multi-component system to which a corresponding field is to be distributed; determining a transmission method for transmitting the first field and the second field to a particular remote component device designated by both the first group directive and the second group directive; automatically distributing the first field and the second field to the particular remote component device using the determined transmission method; displaying the first field on the particular remote component device more prominently than the second field in response to a first physical location of the particular remote component device corresponding to the first geographic directive, wherein the second geographic directive corresponds to a second physical location different than the first physical location; and displaying the second field on the particular remote component device more prominently than the first field in response to the particular remote component device having transitioned from the first physical location to the second physical location.
