Genie 7110 manual Making Phone Calls from Browser, Shared Feature Set Calling Guidelines

Making Phone Calls from	5
the Browser

Some applications require the user to make a call or create opportunities for the user to do so, for instance, from a list of contacts, a phone number query, or an order form. This is an extension of general navigation; however, not all phones allow the user to make a call directly from the browser. If the phone does support calls from the browser, develop the application so that the user can retrieve the phone numbers.

Shared Feature Set: Calling Guidelines

■When displaying more than one phone number on a card, display the primary number first.

Some browsers pick out phone numbers from the deck automatically and list them in the order listed on the card.

■Use a line or page break (<br/> or <p>) between displayed phone numbers.

Unless a break is added, the numbers may run together when the user selects the “Use number” menu function or presses the Send key.

Example 5-1

Nokia 7110 Browser

----Robert Brown---

Phone number:

555-1212

Options Back

■When terminating a call, do not assume that the phone may reinvoke the browser.

■Do not assume that the same deck will be redisplayed after the browser is reinvoked.

The user may need to navigate back to the same deck.
