Contact search

With an incoming or outgoing call, estos ProCall automatically searches for the dialog partner for the displayed phone number in various locations. Parts of the contact search are implemented both on the server and on the client. estos UCServer searches for a suitable contact and presents them to the client. estos ProCall searches in client-side connected data sources and expands the individual contact into a list of contacts. After the search is complete, estos ProCall checks whether the user has already ever selected one of the contacts found. If a contact has ever been selected, this contact is set as the active dialog partner; otherwise, the first contact found (server or client contact) is displayed as the active dialog partner.
