Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0195649A1] The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for modifying persistent storage. In an embodiment of the invention, the persistent storage within a radio phone contains a telephone directory. The telephone directory in the radio phone can be used to automatically dial the number of an individual or entity that exists as an entry in the telephone directory. The phone is operable to send and receive, via a radio base station respective to the radio phone, copies of the telephone directory. A remote client-device, such as a personal computer, is operable to allow a user to modify the telephone directory and to exchange copies of the telephone directory with the radio phone. The present invention thus provides a user-friendly way to backup, modify and restore a telephone directory or other electronic information in a radio phone or other intelligent devices which typically have limited user-interface capabilities.
