TEMPORARY CONTACTS

摘要

Architecture that enables the implementation of temporary contacts by the inclusion of additional data with each contact. The additional data can comprise geolocation data such as GPS coordinates, triangulation information, or other geographical coordinate or location data technologies. Additionally, the mere presence of the additional data can be a trigger to interact with the user as to if the contact should be maintained in the long term or removed in the short term. The association of the geolocation location data of a mobile device with a contact being added and intelligent use of the geolocation data enables prompting of the user to delete or mark for deletion the contact as a temporary contact or retain the contact until marked for removal and removed. Spatial and/or temporal criteria can be manually selected or automatically set for all designated temporary contacts or on an individual basis.

1. A hardware processor and a memory, the hardware processor configured to execute computer-executable instructions in the memory to enable a system, the system comprising:
a contact component of a user device configured to receive contact geographical location information related to a new contact of a contact list, assign the contact geographical location information to the new contact, enable tagging of the new contact as a temporary contact, and enable manual marking of the temporary contact for removal from the contact list of the user device based on spatial criteria.
