First Claim
1. A method of advertising to a remote unit belonging to a user group of remote units, the method comprising:
- identifying a context associated with a communication sent to or received by a remote unit belonging to the user group of remote units;
determining whether the identified context is associated with one or more advertisements by querying correlation data to identify advertisements having context that correlates to the identified context;
when the identified context is associated with one or more advertisements, transmitting the one or more advertisements to at least one remote unit belonging to the user group.

Abstract
A method (200, 300) of managing mobile context and advertising over a communications network based on the context. The method includes identifying (204) a context (146, 152) associated with a communication sent to or received by a remote unit belonging to the user group of remote units. The method also includes determining (212) whether the identified context is associated with one or more advertisements by querying correlation data (144) to identify advertisements having context that correlates to the identified context. When the identified context is associated with one or more advertisements, the method includes transmitting (214) the one or more advertisements to at least one remote unit belonging to the user group.

6. A method of managing contexts in a communication system comprising:
-
determining how frequently a selected context is identified; when identification of the selected context is increasing, determining whether frequency of use of the context is equal to a first threshold, when frequency of use of the context is equal to the first threshold, adding the selected context to a context index; and linking the selected context to one or more contexts already in the context index. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

10. A server for managing contexts in a communication system comprising:
-
a communication manager for receiving a plurality of contexts associated with communications between a plurality of remote units of a user group; a correlation engine coupled to the communication manager for generating correlation data by correlating a first context of the plurality of contexts with a second context of the plurality of contexts when the first and second contexts are associated with one another; a search engine for identifying an advertisement containing context data that correlates to at least one context of the plurality of contexts; and wherein the communication manager communicates the identified advertisement to a remote unit of the plurality of remote units of the user group. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
