VARIABLE PATH MANAGEMENT OF USER CONTACTS
First Claim
1. A computer-readable medium having a computer-executable component, implemented by executing instructions on a processor associated with a telecommunications device, the computer-executable component comprising:
- a contact management component operative to;
cause the generation of a first path-based information display, the first path-based information display including a first set of graphical identifiers corresponding to a first subset of contacts selected at least in part by a user of the telecommunications device, wherein the first subset of user contacts includes a portion of the user'"'"'s contacts accessible by the telecommunications device, and wherein the first set of graphical identifiers is positioned along a first path about a first axis positioned external to a display of the telecommunications device; and
cause the generation of a second path-based information display, the second path-based information display including a second set of graphical identifiers corresponding to a second subset of contacts selected at least in part by a user of the telecommunications device, wherein the second subset of user contacts includes a portion of the user'"'"'s contacts accessible by the telecommunications device, and wherein the second set of graphical identifiers is positioned along a second path about a second axis positioned external to the display of the telecommunications device;
wherein the first path is different from the second path.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for managing contacts on a telecommunications device are provided. In one embodiment, a software application executed by a processor of a telecommunications device identifies a first subset of contacts selected at least in part by a user of the telecommunications device and a second subset of contacts. Each of the first and second subsets includes a portion of the user'"'"'s contacts accessible by the telecommunications device. The software application causes display of a graphical identifier associated with each contact of the first subset of contacts in a first arrangement on a display of the telecommunications device about a first axis positioned external to the display. The software application further causes display of a graphical identifier associated with each contact of the second subset of contacts in a second arrangement on a display of the telecommunications device about a second axis positioned external to the display.
