Abstract

The invention relates to a method for launching an application in a communication device, comprising the steps of detecting, in the communication device, one or more terms during communication between at least two parts wherein at least one of the parts is a person, comparing the terms with stored terms in a database, identifying one or more key terms depending on the comparison, determining a launch criteria based on the identified key terms, and launching at least one application, based on the launch criteria, in the communication device.

Claims

1. Method for launching at least one application in a communication device, comprising the steps of;

detecting, in said communication device, one or more terms during communication between at least two parts, wherein at least one of said parts is a person;

comparing said terms with stored terms in a database;

identifying one or more key terms depending on said comparison;

determining a launch criteria based on said identified key terms; and

launching at least one application, based on said launch criteria, in said communication device.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said launch criteria is further based on user information.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method further comprise the step of storing statistical data over the occurrence of said identified key terms during said communication, wherein the step of determining a launch criteria is further based on said statistical data.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method further comprise the step of determining a termination criteria based on said identified key terms, and terminating at least one application, based on said termination criteria, in said communication device.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein said termination criteria is further based on said user information.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein said launch criteria is based on first said identified key term during said communication.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein said launch criteria is continuously updated during said communication.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein said launching, based on said launch criteria, is executed continuously during said communication.

9. The method according to claim 1, wherein said launching, based on said launch criteria, is executed after said communication is ended.

10. The method according to claim 1, wherein said detection is ended when an application is launched.

11. The method according to claim 1, wherein a running application is terminated when a further application is launched.

12. Communication device adopted for launching at least one application in said communication device, comprising;

detecting means for detecting, in said communication device, one or more terms during communication between at least two parts wherein at least one of said parts is a person;

comparing means for comparing said terms with stored terms in a database;

identifying means for identifying one or more key terms depending on said comparison;

determining means for determining a launch criteria based on said identified key terms; and

launching means for launching at least one application, based on said launch criteria, in said communication device.

13. The communication device according to claim 12, further comprise providing means for providing user information.

14. The communication device according to claim 12, further comprise storing means for storing statistical data over the occurrence of said identified key terms during said communication.

15. The communication device according to claim 12, further comprise determining means for determining a termination criteria based on said identified key terms, and termination means for terminating at least one application, based on said termination criteria, in said communication device.

16. The communication device according to claim 12, further comprise updating means for continuous updating of the launch criteria during said communication.

17. The communication device according to claim 16, further comprise execution means for continuous executing of said launching means, based on said launch criteria, during said communication.

18. A system adopted for launching at least one application in a communication device, comprising;

detecting unit for detecting, in said communication device, one or more terms during communication between at least two parts wherein at least one of said parts is a person;

comparing unit for comparing said terms with stored terms in a database;

identifying unit for identifying one or more key terms depending on said comparison;

determining unit for determining a launch criteria based on said identified key terms; and

launching unit for launching at least one application, based on said launch criteria, in said communication device.

19. The system according to claim 18, further comprise a providing unit for providing user information.

20. The system according to claim 18, further comprise a storing unit for storing statistical data over the occurrence of said identified key terms during said communication.

21. The system according to claim 18, further comprise a determining unit for determining a termination criteria based on said identified key terms, and a termination unit for terminating at least one application, based on said termination criteria, in said communication device.

22. The system according to claim 18, further comprise an updating unit for continuous updating of the launch criteria during said communication.

23. The system according to claim 18, further comprise an execution unit for continuous executing of said launching means, based on said launch criteria, during said communication.
