Speed-dial and speed-contact with predictive logic

摘要

A method in a mobile phone for predicting to whom a phone call is being made, including identifying at least one state parameter for the mobile phone, and at least one weighting factor corresponding to the at least one state parameter for each identified state parameter, predicting one or more likely contacts that a user of the mobile phone is calling, given that the user is making a phone call, based on the identified state parameter, for each likely contact, assigning a combined weight to the likely contact based on the at least one weighting factor, ranking the likely contacts according to the combined weights, and facilitating making a phone call to one or more of the likely contacts with the highest rankings. The state parameter comprises one of a current data and time, a current location, a user schedule, files viewed by the user, previous actions, network to which the mobile phone is connected, a type of cover that houses the mobile phone and a current profile setting of the mobile phone.
