Sales information transfer system and method

Abstract

An information transfer system and method are disclosed. When a call is received on a mobile device, the application on the mobile device can search local databases and server databases for a number associated with the caller. If there is a match in the local database or server databases, the information associated with the number can be copied into temporary folders. The information in the temporary folders can be displayed on the mobile device.

         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising disabling the displaying the sets of user information on the mobile device if the user information is not found. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising, identifying, a stage of the user purchasing the car, wherein the mobile device performs a portion of the identifying, wherein the displaying comprises the mobile device displaying a subset of the first, second, or third set of user information, and wherein the subset is based on the stage. 
     
     
         7 . A system for sales information transfer comprising:
 a mobile device comprising a mobile device database, wherein the mobile device database is configured to store user information, wherein the user information comprises at least a mobile device identifier; and   a local server comprising a local server database, wherein the local server database is configured to store the user information;   wherein the mobile device is configured to receive a client profile associated with the user information if the user information is found, wherein the mobile device is configured to display the user information on a display of the mobile device if the user information is found, wherein the mobile device is configured to display the user information when the mobile device receives a call, and wherein the client profile is based on a stage of purchasing an automobile.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , further comprising a local area network. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7 , further comprising a remote server comprising a remote server database, wherein the remote server database is configured to store the user information, wherein the remote server is configured to send the user information to the mobile device if the user information is found. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising a wide area network. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 9 , further comprising an external server comprising an external server database, wherein the external server database is configured to store the user information, wherein the external server is configured to send the user information to the remote server if the user information is found, and wherein the remote server is configured to send the user information from the external server to the mobile device. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the mobile device is configured to display the user information for the duration of the call. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the mobile device is configured to display the user information for at least 30 seconds. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the mobile device comprises an optical sensor, wherein the optical sensor is configured to scan vehicle identification numbers, business cards, and driver's licenses. 
     
     
         15 . A method for sales information transfer comprising:
 storing a first set of user information on a first mobile device database, wherein the first mobile device database is on a first mobile device;   storing a second set of user information on a second mobile device database, wherein the second mobile device database is on a second mobile device;   storing a third set of user information on a remote server database;   receiving a call from a user, wherein the call is received by the second mobile device;   searching the first mobile device database for the first set of user information of the user when the call is received, wherein the user information comprises a make of a car or a value of a car;   searching the second mobile device database for the second set of user information of the user when the call is received;   searching a remote server database for the third set of user information when the call is received;   receiving at least one of the first, second, or third set of user information if the user information is found; and   displaying the sets of user information on a display of the second mobile device when the call is received.
