Patent ID: 7856229

Claim:
A terminal comprising a processor, a memory unit and a display screen, the terminal to be used by a near end user for a telecommunications with a far end user, the telecommunications being activated by the near end user when selecting on the terminal information corresponding to the far end user, the information including a plurality of information value types whereby at least two out of the plurality of information value types have a different value type attribute, whereby each value type attribute is correlated with the location of the terminal within different possible areas with respect to the location of the far end user while a combination of a value type and a value type attribute identifies the far end user, the combination being required to setup the telecommunications, wherein the memory unit contains instructions to be executed when such telecommunications towards a far end user is activated by the near end user, the instructions implementing a method of importing specific data from the selected information of the far end user, the method comprising: locating the terminal of the near end user; associating the location of the terminal of the near end user with one of the different possible areas identified by a specific value type attribute; and extracting accordingly the specific data comprising the specific value type attribute out of the selected information from the far end user for setting up the activated telecommunications; wherein the terminal comprises a memory unit for the storage of a directory with information of different far end users in the predefined format, the selection on the terminal by the near end user of the far end user information out of the directory being performed using a browser available on the terminal, the browser allowing retrieval of further information in the predefined format by setting up a connection with a gateway, the gateway comprising a parser adapted to retrieve information originally in Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to forward to the terminal the retrieved information in the predefined format embedded in a web page.
