Multi-call display management for wireless communication devices
First Claim
1. A method of managing call information at a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- displaying current status of a plurality of in-progress calls, wherein the in-progress calls comprise a voice call and a data call;
receiving a request for detailed information associated with a first in-progress call of the plurality of said in-progress calls;
ascertaining a call category associated with the first in-progress call; and
displaying the detailed information for the first in-progress call in response to said request, wherein the detailed information for the first in-progress call is at least partially dependent on the call category, and wherein the detailed information for the first in progress call is of a first type when the call category is said data call, and the detailed information is of a second type when the call category is said voice call wherein the first type is different than the second type.

Abstract
Techniques to manage the display of information for multiple voice and/or data calls in wireless devices. The techniques can manage a summary of all calls that are in progress and detailed information for individual calls. In one method, summary information is initially provided (e.g., to a display) for the multiple calls. The summary information may include, for example, the type and status of each call. An indication is then received to view detailed information for a selected call. In response, the detailed information for the selected call is provided. The detailed information for the selected call may include, for example, the caller name, call number, call duration, and so on. The detailed information for a data call may indicate various attributes for the data call (e.g., data rate, connection status, activity, service type, billing information, and so on).
