Graphic-Link Interaction: A System and Modality for Verified Contact Information Sharing
It is my privilege and honor to disclose the current invention as an affordable public health utility which supports widely enforced social distancing standards during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
The contained disclosure enables smart device users to engage one another, in conjunction, and according to their environments confidently, conveniently, and efficiently via low energy peripheral wireless connectivity potentials (currently standard) within the relevant technical field.
The contained disclosure enables a universal lexicon and modality for smart device users to share and receive infinite and dynamic contact information. The invention disclosed is so vastly applicable, due to its physical convenience, that it may, if accepted, shape communications and consumer culture(s) globally into the future.
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANAGING CONTACT INFORMATION OF A TERMINAL RECOGNIZED BY A VEHICLE
A system and a method of managing contact information of a terminal recognized by a vehicle include: a communication unit, which communicates with one or more terminals located in a vehicle and recognizes the terminal, and which receives information stored in the recognized terminal; a connection confirming unit which confirms a function, to which the terminal recognized through the communication unit is connected through communication, among the functions provided by an Audio, Video, and Navigation (AVN) system of the vehicle; a priority calculating unit, which calculates a priority of the terminal with respect to other terminals according to the connection between the terminal confirmed by the connection confirming unit and the function provided by the AVN system and generates priority list information for maintaining contact information stored in the terminal; and a contact information renewing unit, which downloads and stores the contact information stored in the terminal in a linked database according to the priority list information generated by the priority calculating unit or deletes the contact information stored in the database.

DYNAMIC REWARDABLE ACTIVITY VALUE DETERMINATION AND ALLOCATION
A Sender Controlled Media (SCM) platform user is presented incentives for performing rewardable platform activities that result in accruing points in a user-specific account from which points can be redeemed by transfer or cryptocurrency conversion to an external user-designated wallet. A reward received for each instance of a rewardable platform activity is determined based on a range of platform context including a target average points payout, an aggregated total points payout over a distribution period, and a type of rewardable platform activity.

ON-VEHICLE HANDS-FREE APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM
An on-vehicle hands-free apparatus according to the present disclosure enables a hands-free call by being connected to a mobile phone in a wireless or wired manner. The on-vehicle hands-free apparatus includes a memory, and a hardware processor coupled to the memory. The hardware processor is configured to: cause the mobile phone to execute an outgoing/incoming call using a phone function of the mobile phone based on outgoing/incoming call history data or phone book data stored in the mobile phone, the outgoing/incoming call history data including a phone number transmitted and received by the mobile phone; and acquire the outgoing/incoming call history data including a phone number of a counterpart of a call from the mobile phone when the call is terminated on the mobile phone.
INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM
An information processing apparatus includes: a processors configured to: acquire a first address list stored in an external apparatus; and when synchronizing the acquired first address list and a second address list stored in the own apparatus, display a third address list in which information duplicated between the first address list and the second address list have been consolidated.
Management of calls and media content associated with a caller on mobile computing devices
Call originator feedback may be gathered from members of a call group for a call originator. This feedback may be stored in a contact firewall data structure indexed by call originator identification information, where a contact firewall function can intercept a call to a member of the group when the contact firewall data structure indicates that an action to impact the call should be taken. In another aspect, a method may include receiving an indication of no-answer by a recipient of a call, activating a sender-controlled media (SCM) content selection/generation interface on the caller's phone, and delivering the item of content to the recipient's call message storage system, where the item of content is linked to the missed call. For example, a SCM data structure, or a link to the SCM data structure, may be delivered to the recipient's call message storage system.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING CALLED PARTY IDENTIFIERS
A user equipment configured to receive a user input associated with a phone number is described herein. The phone number may be associated with a party the user is intending to call or message. The user equipment and an associated network may determine a personal identifier, such as an individual or entity name, associated with the phone number regardless of whether or not the phone number is included in a phone book or address book associated with the user. The user equipment may also present or display the personal identifier to the user prior to connecting the call or sending the message.
