  • Publication number: 20140274007
    Abstract: A method includes detecting a first call placed with a first mobile device by a caller to a called party with a second mobile device and not answered by the called party, determining at least one candidate contact having a third mobile device, an association with the called party, and a probability of being in proximity to the called party at the time of the first call; and placing a second call using the first mobile device to the third mobile device. The method may include determining the association of the candidate contact with the called party, and determining the probability that the candidate is in proximity to the called party at the time of the first call. The probability determination may include generating a list of candidate contacts from an association map, where each of the candidates has an association with the called party according to the association map.
