Abstract: A set of electronic communications of different types that the user has sent and/or received, such as email messages, text messages, instant messages, and so forth is obtained. The set of electronic communications can be obtained in various manners, such as by searching the electronic communications of the user for those electronic communications that satisfy user provided search criteria. The electronic communications in the set of electronic communications are ranked according to various social cues that provide an indication of how the user interacts with individuals that are the senders or recipients of the electronic communications.

Abstract: A selective call radio frequency (RF) communication device (105) includes a receiver (203) for receiving and converting an RF signal into a converted signal. A controller (206) generates binary message information, a synchronization command signal and an address detection signal. An alert device (207) indicates the receipt of the message information. A frequency counter (427) measures the frequency of the converted signal and also determines the associated binary state of the binary message information. A measurement memory (439) stores the converted signal frequency measurements. The frequency control generator (440) generates a frequency control signal in response to the synchronization command signal being generated. The frequency control signal is a function of the stored converted signal frequency measurements and the associated binary states.
