INITIATING INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) COMMUNICATIONS IN AN IP COMMUNICATION SYSTEM BASED ON DATABASES OF CONTACT INFORMATION

摘要

Methods, communication terminals, Internet Protocol (IP) communication systems, and computer program products are provided for initiating an IP communication based on contact information from one or more contact information databases. At a first communication terminal, contact information is accessed from a first database of contact information that is within the first communication terminal. A second database of contact information is accessed, via the first communication terminal, which is separate from the first communication terminal and communicatively connected to the first communication terminal by a network. An IP communication is initiated from the first communication terminal based on contact information accessed in at least one of the first and second databases.
