    Abstract: A method of managing input/output/access options and caller greetings within a SmartPhone (or similar) environment. The method is based on grouping Caller IDs (CIDs) of like community, activity, achievement, interests or functionality. These groups are assigned a Group ID code (GID) conferring specific rights to callers through GID-profiles and menu and scripting options that are capable of drawing upon a prescribed suite of variables linked to files, resident applications and peripherals. Rights are further augmented if the CID is associated with multiple GIDs or conferred individual rights. Unlinked CIDs are further scanned for matching prefix-based (area code) GIDs, thus presenting the possibility of individual (rather than governmental) control of Do Not Call (DNC) functionality.
