Abstract
The wireless device may include logic that enables the wireless device to interface with the external computing device, and rule logic to direct handling by the external computing device of call events of the wireless device.
Claims16
A wireless device comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory in communication with the processor;
- a rule logic on the memory that when applied to a processor of an external computing device
- directs handling by the external computing device of call events of the wireless device,
- directs contact manager logic of the external computing device to lookup contact information associated with a phone number of a caller, and
- effects changes to how the rule logic directs handling of call events of the wireless device, the rule logic edited from a user interface logic of the external computing device;
- logic on the memory that when applied to the processor
- interfaces with the external computing device;
- shares the rule logic with the external computing device;
- and
- accepts changes to the rule logic from the external computing device.
8 more elements
A method for updating handling directions of call events on a wireless device, the method comprising:
- interfacing with an external computing device;
- sharing a rule logic with the external computing device;
- and
- accepting changes to the rule logic from the external computing device;
- wherein the rule logic, when applied to a processor of the external computing device,
- directs handling by the external computing device of call events of the wireless device,
- directs contact manager logic of the external computing device to lookup contact information associated with a phone number of a caller, and
- effects changes to how the rule logic directs handling of call events of the wireless device, the rule logic edited from a user interface logic of the external computing device.
