14. Possible Enhancements
• Automatically uploading phonebook straight from phone to server
Due to our limitations we implemented the phonebook upload through a
personal computer. Ideally, the upload would send the phonebook from the
cell phone straight to the server with no intermediary steps. In addition, this
upload could be automatically uploaded at certain intervals or on command.
This would create an always up-to-date phonebook on the retrieval system.
• Phonebook updating on website with synchronization
An additional feature that could be added is allowing for phonebook
editing and updating through the website. This would allow people to change
their phonebook on the website in the absence of their phones. Along with
phonebook updating could be synchronization, where changes in the online
phonebook would be reflected in the phonebook stored in cell phone.
• Phonebook backup and retrieval
Currently our system stores phonebooks on the server but does not allow
for downloading the phonebook back to the phone. An additional feature that
could be implemented is to have the phonebooks available for download back
to the phone. This would help in situations where phones are permanently
damaged or lost and would create a simple way to load a phonebook onto new
phone with having to reenter all the names and numbers manually.
• Call forwarding
Currently the voicemail system reads back phone numbers of desired
contacts. An additional feature would be to have the option to automatically
forward the call to the desired contact instead of having to write the number
down and then call.
