More Information
Summary:The invention relates to communication networks having a database that relates contact information (e.g. telephone numbers) to names, e.g. name dialling systems. It also relates generally to voice dialling systems using spoken names to enter the destination of a call, and to voice dialling systems using users' personal name directories. In particular, the invention relates to a method and system for maintaining a contact database. The contact database maintenance method comprises the steps of storing used contact information, collecting data (e.g. statistical data related to the user's calling behavior) associated to used contact information, providing the contact information to a terminal device, and offering maintenance operations of said contact database to a user (e.g. by reminding the user via sending a message to him) based on these contact information and associated data in order to increase the overall recognition system performance. The method further comprises the step of automatically maintaining the contact database according to said statistics.
