Abstract
A method and device relating to destination prediction of communication messages is presented. The device may include an analyzer configured to analyze a message entered in a universal input field. The analyzer may also provide a search variable based on the entered message. The device may also include a or which may be configured to receive the search variable and determine at least one suggested destination based on the search variable. The prediction of communication destinations eliminates the need for various menus and sub-menus. Thus, a user may send a communication message without the need of lengthy navigations.
Claims18
A method of predicting a communication destination, the method comprising:
- analyzing, by a device, a message entered in a universal input field provided via a display of the device;
- determining, by the device, at least one search variable based on the message;
- determining, by the device, at least one suggested destination and a first application based on the at least one search variable;
- and
- using, by the device, the first application to transmit the message to the at least one suggested destination.
A device comprising:
- a processor to:
- analyze a message entered in an universal input field provided via a display of the device,
- determine at least one search variable based on the message;
- determine:
- at least one suggested destination of the message, and
- a first application,
- the at least one suggested destination and the first application being determined based on the at least one search variable, and
- use the first application to provide the message to the at least one suggested destination.
