Abstract

There are several instances where mobile phone users would not have stored all the numbers in their phone book (or PIM - personal information management). Even if a phone number is stored in the PIM, users would want to make a phone call using the keypad, without scrolling down the names in the PIM. The system proposed in this paper provides the users with the convenience of 'number completion' based on the first few digits keyed in. The system uses a number completion heuristic which makes use of the call history and the context of the user, and makes a prediction and suggests a few numbers. The short list of phone numbers suggested by the system is expected to contain the user-intended phone number with high probability. This saves the users from entering the whole numbers or searching through the call log (especially in a hurry), and avoid common mistakes (such as flipping of digits). It facilitates fast and correct dialling even in time constrained situations, without distracting the user for a long time.
