The present document defines the external interface characteristics of the Contact Manager for 3GPP UICC applications (e.g. USIM [3] and ISIM [4]). The Contact Manager provides an interface for the management of contact information including rich content without any structural limitations. The Contact Manager Server application resides on the UICC, an IC card specified in TS 31.101. TS 31.101 specifies the application independent properties of the UICC/terminal interface such as the physical characteristics. The external interface between the Contact Manager Server application on the UICC and the Contact Manager Client application on the ME enables the synchronization of the contact information, contacts grouping, configuration of contact structure, configuration of the triggering mechanism, and configuration of user actions which may be performed using contact information.

The present document defines the Contact Manager for 3GPP UICC applications based on OMA DS [7]. The present document specifies the external interface between the Contact Manager Server in the UICC and the Contact Manager External Client in the ME; Any internal technical realization of either the Contact Manager Server or clients is only specified where these are reflected over the interfaces.
