Techniques for telecommunications contact management on an end user device

摘要

Various embodiments are directed to techniques managing telephone numbers and other telecommunication identifiers when placing and receiving calls or messages from a single device. In some embodiments, one of a plurality of outbound telephone numbers or other identifiers associated with the device or an application executing on the device may be selected when making an outbound telephone call or sending a message. In another embodiment, an outbound telephone number or other identifier is automatically selected when making an outbound telephone call or sending a message based on an association of that outbound telephone number with the intended recipient of the call or message.

主权项

1. At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a set of instructions that in response to being executed on a mobile communications device associated with multiple telephone numbers, cause the mobile communications device to:
receive an inbound telephone call, the inbound telephone call including (i) information comprising a calling telephone number for the device making the inbound telephone call, and (ii) a called telephone number, the called telephone number being one of the multiple telephone numbers associated with the mobile communications device; and associate the calling telephone number with the called telephone number such that a subsequent outbound telephone call to the calling telephone number automatically uses the called telephone number as the source of the subsequent outbound telephone call.
