  • Publication number: 20210250324
    Abstract: Contact information may be automatically generated on a device based on an interaction by the user of the device with another individual. A record of the interaction may be obtained by the device and, if it is determined that the interaction satisfies an interaction rule, information from the record of the interaction may be utilized to obtain contact information for the individual. The contact information may be obtained by extracting the contact information directly from the record of the interaction or by extracting an identifier of the individual from the record of the interaction and querying a remote device for the contact information. The obtained contact information may then be stored on the user's device.
