Reading Businesscard data from mobile device

  • Hi,
    I use a plugin (wp-touch) to show mobile devices an optimized page.
    From this page ppl can fill a webform to acquire more information.
    I use an android device and in my contacts there is a special bizcard with my personal information, the same is true for other cellphones and mobile devices.
    What I like to do is pre-fill the form with data read from this businesscard in the mobile device.

    Is there a plugin that supports this?
    If no
    Is anyone working on such a plugin? I like to beta test.

    My guess is that more ppl would be interested in such a plugin.

    Kind regards,
    Gerhard

  • In order to do something like that, your website would have to have direct access to the user’s phone contacts. That’s a major security issue, and I don’t think any phone OS’s out there would ever allow it… nor would many users appreciate having data from their contacts list available to any website they access.
