Method and system for dynamically updating a banner for a communication device

摘要

A banner for a communication device that changes according to the current date is provided. The banner is displayed (13) during standby mode of operation of the communication device. The system for dynamically displaying the banner includes a calendar (21) which has a number of dates. Each of the number of dates has a unique message associated with it. The system also includes software (22a) that compares the current date with the number of dates from the calendar (21). The software (22a) then determines whether the current date matches one of the number of dates from the calendar (21). The display screen (23) of the communication device displays the unique message if the current date matches one of the number of dates from the calendar (21). If the current date does not match one of the number of dates from the calendar (21), the display screen (23) of the communication device displays a default message (14). The calendar (21) may be capable of being edited by a user of the communication device such that additional unique messages may be assigned to any date from the calendar (21). A communication service provider for the communication device may pre-determine the unique message to be displayed for each of the number of dates from the calendar (21).
