Abstract

Each PC conferencing application of a plurality PC conferencing systems is equipped with an enhanced profile function including the ability to allow a user to designate a personal address book, and a corporate address book. Each PC conferencing application is further equipped with functions for modeling exchange of business cards, including functions for creating, editing, sending, receiving, saving, and browsing electronic business cards. As an integral part of the bizcard create and edit process, each create and edit function causes an address record including a user's PC conference connection addresses to be populated in the designated corporate address book when a bizcard is created, and the address record to be updated whenever the bizcard is updated. The various designated corporate address files are automatically synchronized. As a result, as an integral part of the bizcard create and edit process, PC conference connection addresses are automatically made available and maintained throughout the organization across geographical boundaries. Additionally, to further facilitate the physical or logical relocation of a user, conference connection addresses are maintained in the personal and corporate address books in a location independent format.
