Contacts Backup Management on Cellular Phones

The development of time and technology has changed social
lifestyle nowadays. Cellular phone has become the
communication life style in most society. The problem appears
when the cellular phone’s contacts list is lost. It is quite difficult
and needs more time to restore. Back-up and synchronizing
contact may overcome this problem.
In this paper, the discussion covers back-up and synchronizing
contacts which is performed by an application together with a
server and Internet connection. A cellular phone user must
connect to an account in a specific website and install
application on the cellular phone. Then the users may use the
features provided by application which builds on Java ME.
First, the application retrieves all the contacts list from the
database and enable the users to mark the data before the backup
process performed. After the application downloads the
contacts data from the server, synchronizing process is
performed.
The result of the experiments shows that this application works
on Nokia feature phones with operating system S40 6th Edition
and S60, also on Sony Ericsson with Java Platform 8 and latest.
This application works well when supported by the availability
and stability of Internet connection with compatible cellular
phone specification.
