SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSOCIATING ITEMS FROM A GROUP WITH FEATURES PROVIDED BY A MOBILE DEVICE

摘要

A computer application is provided for associating items such as contacts with features, in a mobile device. An input mechanism such as an entry box enables a user to begin entering identifying characters, which causes a sub-list of related items to be displayed in a pop-up list box. The user may then select a desired item from the sub-list, directly from the screen in which the entry box is displayed thereby avoiding navigation through additional menus. The input mechanism can be applied to features such as creating an exception for selected contacts, creating groups of contacts, e.g. for email, and for creating song play lists.
