	History

	Individual configuration of attractive fixed network numbers, mobil phone numbers and service numbers.
	Attractive numbers are fixed network numbers, mobil phone numbers and service numbers,  which are easy to remember e.g. "0203 1234567" or "0700 7070707", numbers that include a national public holiday like "0700 01012008", numbers that have a relationship to a special date or a vanity service number like "0800 SUPPORT" or whatever.
	Due to a concept for individual definitions of several attractive number rules, there is a high flexibility for the definition of attractive numbers. Additionally alphabetic characters are used for repeater and for sequentials. A question mark can be used as wild-card character for one digit, the asterisk can be used as wild-card character for any amount of digits. For example: Examples using wildcards: 800?800* 800 [one digit with wildcard ?] 800 [any digits with wildcard *] Examples: 800 1800572, 800 5800375, 800 4800545, 800 8800156, etc. 700* Rule finds all phone numbers, that begin with "700". 99*0??CD Search combination with vanity number. 30*000? Usage of two different wildcards, 30 [any digits with wildcard *]  000 [one digit with wildcard ?] Examples: 30 765 000 5, 30 374 000 8, 30 259 000 7, etc. Examples for Repeater Rules: 203wwxxyyzz Examples: 203 66557711, 203 33996644, 203 22997711, 203 55223344, 0203 99663311, etc. *yxxxxxy Examples: [any digits with wildcard *] 30 5000005, 211 3888883, 89 4111114, 40 8222228, etc. *xxxyyy Examples: [any digits with wildcard *] 2214 222666, 06981 444333, 04221 888222, 555111, etc. *yyxxxx Examples: [any digits with wildcard *] 550000, 338888,441111, 882222, etc. Examples for Sequential Rules: *dcba?dcba Examples: [any digits with wildcard *] 8765 [one digit with wildcard ?] 8765 [any digits with wildcard *] 4321 [one digit with wildcard ?] 4321 etc. *abcdefgh Examples: [any digits with wildcard *] 01234567, 12345678, 23456789 *hgfedcba Examples: [any digits with wildcard *] 98765432, 87654321, 76543210
	A number or number range, which is defined as "attractive number" will not be proposed by the order management or other North-bound interfaces to avoid, that this number will be lost by a regular propose.
	Level of attractiveness and kind of attractiveness can be configured individually. Example: The level of attractiveness for a favoured number like "0700 - 1234567" may be "+6" and the kind of attractiveness may be "GOLD". The level of attractiveness for an unpopular number like "0700 - 666666" may be "-6" and the kind of attractiveness may be "BLACK".
	By the definition of sequential rules and repeater rules all sequential numbers and all repeater in numbers can be saved from a regular propose.
