Abstract: An invention is provided for advanced service interaction for a mobile device. The system includes a user information system that stores user profile information based on a particular user, and a service information system that stores service description data describing a plurality of services available to the user. Also included in a ranker filter module that predicts a set of services from the plurality of services that the user is expected to utilize within a predefined period of time. The prediction is based on the user profile information stored in the user information system, such as user specific usage patterns (e.g. derived from past usage patterns). The system further includes a renderer that generates a display of the set of services on the mobile device using a ranking system. For example, the renderer can display services of the set of services in primary, secondary, and tertiary positions on the mobile device display.

Abstract: An invention is provided for a context based mobile device display. The context based mobile device display includes a primary service icon representing a service most likely to be utilized by a user within a predefined period of time based on user profile information. The primary service icon is displayed in a primary position on the mobile device display. Also included is a plurality of secondary service icons representing services likely to be utilized by a user within a predefined period of time, however not as likely as the primary service, based on user profile information. The secondary service icons are smaller than the service icon representing the service in the primary position. A plurality of tertiary service icons representing remaining services available to the user are further included in the context based mobile device display. The tertiary service icons are displayed in a tertiary position of the mobile device display.
