METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRESENTING INFORMATION CONCERNING A SET OF INCOMING COMMUNICATIONS
First Claim
1. A method of presenting information concerning a set of incoming communications, comprising:
- determining and storing data associated with each incoming communication of the set of incoming communications, wherein an originator and a type of each incoming communication are part of the data;
identifying a subset of communications-by-type from the set of incoming communications;
determining subsets of communications-by-originator from the subset of communications-by-type;
determining for the subset of communications-by-type a relative priority of the subsets of communications-by-originator; and
presenting information concerning the incoming communications of the subsets of communications-by-originator in an order determined by the relative priority.

Abstract
A method (400) and an apparatus (600) for presenting information concerning a set of incoming communications includes determining and storing (405) data associated with each incoming communication of the set of incoming communications, identifying (410) a subset of communications-by-type from the set of incoming communications, determining (415) subsets of communications-by-originator from the subset of communications-by-type, determining for the subset of communications-by-type (420) a relative priority of the subsets of communications-by-originator, and presenting (425) information concerning the incoming communications of the subsets of communications-by-originator in an order determined by the relative priority.

11. A communication apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; a transceiver; an output modality; and a memory storing programmed instructions controlling the processor to; determine and store data associated with each incoming communication of the set of incoming communications, wherein an originator and a type of each incoming communication is part of the data; identify a subset of communications-by-type from the set of incoming communications; determine subsets of communications-by-originator from the subset of communications-by-type; determine for the subset of communications-by-type a relative priority of the subsets of communications-by-originator; and present information concerning the incoming communications of the subsets of communications-by-originator in an order determined by the relative priority.

12. A method of presenting information concerning a set of incoming communications, comprising:
-
determining and storing data associated with each incoming communication of a subset of the set of incoming communications comprising incoming communications for which no response has been made, wherein an originator of each incoming communication is part of the data; determining subsets of communications-by-originator; determining a relative priority of the subsets of communications-by-originator; and presenting information concerning the incoming communications of the subsets of communications-by-originator in an order determined by the relative priority.
