Name Composition Assistance in Messaging Applications

摘要

A method includes identifying, at an electronic device (100) a candidate name responsive to user input (110) indicating a salutational trigger (130) during composition of a body (122, 222, 322, 422) of a message of a messaging application (102). Identifying the candidate name including at least one of: parsing a recipient-specific portion of a recipient message address (602) of the message; parsing a display name (706) associated with the recipient message address; parsing a content of the message body; parsing an attachment name associated with an attachment field of the message; identifying the candidate name from a contact record selected from a contacts database (114) based on a recipient-specific portion of a recipient message address of the message; and parsing user-readable content (1002) of an application from which composition of the message was triggered. The method further includes facilitating composition of a recipient name in the body of the message based on the candidate name.
