Further disclosed are systems, methods, circuits and associated software for retrieving data associated with contacts stored on a communication device from social networking sites and integrating the retrieved data into the operation of the communication device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A mobile phone comprising: a local memory adapted to store contacts, wherein a contact includes a phone number and an identity indicator associated with the phone number; a synchronization engine adapted to: (a) correlate a first profile contained on a first social networking site with a first contact stored in said local memory; (b) retrieve from the first social networking site data contained in the first profile; and (c) associate the retrieved data with the first contact; and a presentation and operation module adapted to cause the control circuitry of said mobile phone to display, in association with the first contact, the retrieved data, upon a graphic user interface of said mobile phone. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The mobile phone according to claim 1, wherein said synchronization engine is further adapted to update the retrieved data, from the first social networking site, substantially continuously. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The mobile phone according to claim 1, wherein said synchronization engine is further adapted to update the retrieved data, from the first social networking site, periodically. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The mobile phone according to claim 1, wherein said synchronization engine is further adapted to update the retrieved data, from the first social networking site, upon the occurrence of an event on said mobile phone relating to the first contact. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The mobile phone according to claim 1, further comprising a social networking site adapter adapted to communicate with an application programming interface provided by the first social networking site. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The mobile phone according to claim 1, wherein said synchronization engine is further adapted to correlate the first profile with the first contact in a case that there are differences between a name associated with the first profile and an identity indicator associated with the first contact. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The mobile phone according to claim 1, wherein: said synchronization engine is further adapted to: a. correlate a second profile contained on a second social networking site with the first contact; b. retrieve from the second social networking site data contained in the second profile; c. aggregate and synchronize the data retrieved from the first and second profiles; and said presentation and operation module is further adapted to cause the control circuitry of said mobile phone to display, in association with the first contact, the aggregated data, upon a graphic user interface of said mobile phone. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The mobile phone according to claim 1, wherein said correlation is at least partially based on an email associated with the first contact. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The mobile phone according to claim 1, wherein said correlation is at least partially based on a phone number associated with the first contact. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The mobile phone according to claim 1, wherein said synchronization engine is adapted to independently detect that a user of the mobile phone is a member of the first social networking site. ### Claim 11 A method for augmenting contact details stored on a mobile phone, said method comprising: correlating a first profile contained on a first social networking site with a first contact stored in a local memory of the mobile phone, wherein a contact includes a phone number and an identity indicator associated with the phone number; retrieving from the first social networking site data contained in the first profile; associating the retrieved data with the first contact; and displaying, in association with the first contact, the retrieved data, upon a graphic user interface of the mobile phone. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, further comprising updating the retrieved data, from the first social networking site, substantially continuously. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, further comprising updating the retrieved data, from the first social networking site, periodically. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, further comprising updating the retrieved data, from the first social networking site, upon the occurrence of an event on the mobile phone relating to the first contact. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, further comprising communicating with an application programming interface provided by the first social networking site using a social networking site adapter. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, further comprising correlating the first profile with the first contact in a case that there are differences between a name associated with the first profile and an identity indicator associated with the first contact. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, further comprising: a. correlating a second profile contained on a second social networking site with the first contact; b. retrieving from the second social networking site data contained in the second profile; c. aggregating and synchronizing the data retrieved from the first and second profiles; and d. displaying, in association with the first contact, the aggregated data, upon a graphic user interface of said mobile phone. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, wherein said correlation is at least partially based on an email associated with the first contact. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, wherein said correlation is at least partially based on a phone number associated with the first contact. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) The method according to claim 11, further comprising. independently detecting, by processing circuitry of the mobile phone, that a user of the mobile phone is a member of the first social networking site.
