Abstract
A telephone has several lists of phone numbers. Each phone number within a list has a number of digits which is not less than a predetermined minimum number, and not more than a predetermined maximum number. The maximum number is the “size” of the list. When a digit is entered, the phone compares ( B) the number of digits entered to the lists, and selects ( C) the list of the smallest size which is greater than or equal to the number of digits entered. That list is searched ( D) and the results displayed ( E) when the search is complete. If another digit is entered during the search ( F), the comparing ( B) and list selecting ( C) steps are repeated.
