MANAGING CONTACT GROUPS FROM SUBSET OF USER CONTACTS

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for managing a subset of user contacts on a telecommunications device are provided. In one embodiment, a software application executed by a processor of a telecommunications device determines at least two contact groups from a subset of contacts accessible by a telecommunications device. The software application executed by the processor of the telecommunications device also generates a contact display including at least one contact group associated with the subset of contacts based on a current context of a user of the telecommunications device. The current context can include, for example, one or more of a location, time, date, and the like.

1. A tangible non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer-executable component for displaying user contacts on a display of a mobile telecommunications device, the computer-executable component comprising:
a contact management component operative to:
identify a subset of contacts associated with a user of the mobile telecommunications device, wherein the subset of user contacts includes a portion of contacts accessible by the mobile telecommunications device and wherein the subset of contacts includes a plurality of contacts;determine at least two contact groups from the identified subset of contacts, wherein membership of one or more members in each of the at least two contact groups is automatically determined from the identified subset of contacts based on information maintained in a data store, the information including a context of the user and a plurality of user communication events associated with the context of the user, and wherein each contact of the identified subset of contacts is determined to be a member of at least one of the at least two contact groups;store information associated with formation of the at least two contact groups in the data store;automatically determine a current context of the user of the mobile telecommunications device;compare the current context of the user with the stored information associated with the formation of the at least two contact groups in the data store; andcause the generation of a contact display on the mobile telecommunications device, wherein the contact display includes a representation of a first contact group from the at least two contact groups and a first contact group identifier, the first contact group for display on the mobile telecommunications device automatically selected from the at least two contact groups stored in the data store based on the current context of the user.
