Directory-Assisted Abbreviated Name Entry: Telephone dialing by name

Published: 01 January 1978 Publication History

Abstract

A proposal for a novel, non-standard computer application which could become very widespread. The application involves a method for telephone dialing by typing in an abbreviated form of the name of the party being called rather than dialing a 7-digit telephone number. This paper (1) proposes a design for such an application, (2) describes in non-technical terms some terminal and microcomputer configurations for data entry, (3) lists 7 major advantages over numeric dialing, (4) argues for the economic feasibility of the proposal.
