<p>Disclosed are methods and apparatus for controlling the transfer of data objects to a communication device. These data objects, or Phone Pages, supplement a primary communication session, such as a voice call, an e-mail exchange, or an instant message conversation. Several patents and patent applications describe such so-called Phone Pages systems. However, if unrestrained, the increased flow of data objects may be overwhelming, both for system users and for the system itself. This problem is solved by comparing one or more attributes of the data object to be transferred to a delivery profile, which may reflect a device user's preferences. An exemplary method disclosed herein comprises detectin (210,319) the occurence of a trigger event related to communication between two devices and identifying (220, 320) a data object in response and comparing (239, 340) at least one content atrribute for the data object to a pre-detertnined delivery profile corresponding to the 2nd device and selectively delivering (280, 350) the data object to the 2nd device based on the comparison.</p> |
