INTEGRATED CONTACT CARD COMMUNICATION

摘要

Embodiments provide integrated reply functionality within the context of a contact card or panel. Contact information is provided for display in the contact card (e.g., a portion of a user interface of a computing device). The contact information is associated with a contact. The contact information identifies one or more transport modes for communication with the contact. The computing device may receive a request from a user to communicate with the contact via at least one selected transport mode, or the transport mode may be automatically selected. Based on the received request, the computing device provides an input field within the contact card. Data from the user is received into the input field. The computing device sends the data received into the input field to the contact via the selected transport mode. The integrated reply functionality is accessible from a conversation history displayed in the contact card.
