ABSTRACT:
A Graphic User Interface, for use with electronic phonebooks, links graphic information, e.g., a graphic identifier such as a logo or picture, to a phone number that may be called using the graphic identifier. The Interface, incorporated in a telephone, enables users to send stored graphical information, tied to selected phone numbers, to other users' phones for use or storage, by scrolling through stored graphics, displayed by the Interface on the phone, to locate a graphic associated with a person or place to be called, and then, by pressing the SEND, the particular phone number or numbers linked to the selected graphic are activated and the call or calls are made. When a connection is established with a receiving number, a set of stored graphics with tied numbers may be downloaded from the memory of the sending phone to the memory of the receiving phone for similar use. The Interface can be utilized, e.g., by Advertisers to send logos/graphics and numbers to phones that are turned ON in a particular area to receive the graphical information and create area specific databases of their own in memory including the graphic associated numbers of persons and places that a receiving phone may use to call in the same manner. General advertising information may also be transmitted with graphics and tied phone numbers for viewing and response.
