  • Patent number: 9800525
    Abstract: Some examples enable profile-based management of multiple communication channels and associated communication services on an electronic device. For example, role-based profiles may be used to manage and filter communications from various contacts. A profile may be set on the electronic device, such as in response to a user input, or automatically based on a determined context of the electronic device. For instance, the context may be determined from one or more of a physical location of the electronic device, a time of day, a day of the week, or a detected activity of the user. Further, some examples include a unified communication interface that may enable a user to select a contact to receive a communication, and the electronic device may select a communication channel for communicating with the selected contact based at least in part on the profile currently set for the electronic device.
