Abstract
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed herein for organizing communication information. Data received associated with a communication is recorded at the communication device. An identifier is associated with the communication. The identifier indicates a unique identity. A call score is calculated for the identifier at the communication device based on the communication. The particular identifier is ranked in a list in accordance with the calculated call score.
Claims68
A method for organizing communications comprising:
- recording data associated with a plurality of communications at a communication device;
- associating an identifier with each of the plurality of communications, wherein the identifier indicates a unique identity;
- calculating a call score at the communication device for each of at least a subset of the identifiers based on the communication corresponding to each identifier in the subset, wherein the call score denotes at least a frequency of occurrence for the corresponding identifier, and the call score is less than or equal to a maximum call score value;
- and
- ranking the subset of the identifiers for which call scores have been calculated in accordance with the calculated call score to form a list of ranked identifiers, wherein each ranked identifier has an associated position in the list.

A communication device including a communications organizer comprising:
- means for recording data associated with a plurality of communications at the communication device;
- means for associating an identifier with each of the plurality of communications, wherein the identifier indicates a unique identity;
- means for setting a maximum allowed value for a call score to be associated with each identifier;
- means for calculating the call score for each of at least a subset of the identifiers based on the communication corresponding to each identifier in the subset, wherein the call score denotes at least a frequency of occurrence for the corresponding identifier, and the call score is less than or equal to the maximum call score value;
- and
- means for ranking the subset of the identifiers for which call scores have been calculated in accordance with the calculated call score to form a list of ranked identifiers, wherein each ranked identifier has an associated position in the list.
