Patent attributes
A computer-implemented method for generating mobile phone contact records comprises, receiving at an intermediate server communicatively coupled to a mobile phone associated with a first phone number corresponding to a first contact group and a second phone number corresponding to a second contact group, a request from the mobile phone to make an outgoing call. The intermediate server identifies whether a set of contact records associated with the mobile phone includes a contact record associated with the recipient based on the recipient phone number. The contact record comprises a contact type of the recipient corresponding to the first contact group or the second contact group. In response to determining that the set of contact records does not include the contact record associated with the recipient, the intermediate server determines the contact type of the recipient and creates the contact record associated with the recipient.
