An apparatus comprising a user input region wherein the apparatus is configured to move a first icon displayed on the apparatus in response to a received input at the user input region, wherein the apparatus is configured to assign the first icon to a first personal contact, wherein the apparatus is configured to assign a second icon to a second personal contact, and wherein the apparatus is configured to initiate a conference call between the first personal contact and the second personal contact in response to a movement of the first icon onto the second icon.
A method comprising:
- selecting a first icon at a first location on a display of a device, wherein the first icon corresponds to a first personal contact;
- and
- moving the first icon from the first location onto a second icon, wherein the second icon corresponds to a second personal contact, wherein the second icon is located at a second different location on the display, and wherein the first personal contact and the second personal contact are placed in a conference call in response to the moving of the first icon onto the second icon.
A method comprising:
- providing a display, wherein the display is configured to display a first movable icon and a second movable icon;
- and
- providing a processor configured to assign the first movable icon to a first personal contact, wherein the processor is configured to assign the second movable icon to a second personal contact, and wherein the processor is configured to initiate a conference call between the first personal contact and the second personal contact in response to a movement of only the first icon or only the second icon.
A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine for performing operations to start a conference call, the operations comprising:
- assigning a first icon to a first personal contact, wherein the first icon is movable within a display portion of a device;
- assigning a second icon to a second personal contact, wherein the second icon is movable within the display portion of the device;
- and
