Abstract
A conversion tool inputs an address book downloaded from an interactive pager executing an operating system that is not compatible with personal information managers. The conversion tool outputs a user database in a format compatible with a target personal information manager. The conversion tool analyzes each record of contact information in the address book information file to determine the corresponding field of the target personal information manager. If there is no corresponding field in the personal information manager, the conversion tool places the record in a default field in the target personal information manager. The determination is made on the basis of a pre-determined mapping of field names from the address book information file to the target personal information manager. The user database is merged with a corporate database in a personal information manager contacts list database. The personal information manager contacts list database is uploaded to an interactive pager that is compatible with the personal information manager.
