Contact reminder apparatus, system, and method

摘要

A contact reminder apparatus, system and method are provided. The illustrative embodiments provide a mechanism for providing contact reminder messages to a user based on communications with contacts from a variety of different communication devices. The illustrative embodiments synchronize communication logs and contacts from communication devices that may be of the same or different types and use the synchronized communication logs to determine whether to reset contact reminder counters that are used to determine whether to send a contact reminder message to a user. A user may designate preferred types of communication for each contact and may have the contact reminder counters automatically adjusted based on such preferences and whether or not a preferred type of communication was last used to communicate with a contact. Moreover, contact reminders may be sent to communication devices determined to provide the communication type corresponding to the communication type specified in the contact reminder.
