  • Publication number: 20110252061
    Abstract: Addresses are searched in an address book on a communication device in response to various context information. A category is defined from a keyword. A context is determined. The address book is searched using the keywords and/or category and or/context to locate matching contacts. Matching contacts may be presented in a user interface, e.g., in accordance with presentation rules responsive to the context. The method may further look-up (and present) one or more addresses (e.g. advertisements) matching the keyword and/or category and/or context from a remote service. The context may be data defined from any of time, day of the week, communication device location, communication device velocity, device profile and category of a matching contact. Device profile may be determined using profile determining rules and contextual data. The method may periodically collect contextual data and define a profile determining rule in response to a pattern in the collected data.

  • Publication number: 20110211813
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing and displaying enhanced banners and other objects on a communication device. The banner file may comprise ancillary data, such as calendar appointment details, other event details, or contact details, embedded within the file itself, or comprised in an envelope wrapping the banner file. When the banner is displayed on the communication device, the user may invoke a context menu to create an event, such as a calendar event, on the device using the embedded ancillary data. In other embodiments, the communication device uses geolocation services to determine whether the user is likely to be in attendance at an event, and if not, to issue alerts or initiate a further action, such as initiating recording of a television program the user is about to miss, over the network. In other embodiments, the banner file's ancillary data includes recommendation data, identifying a banner as being recommended by a contact of the user's.
