System, method, and device for providing temporary communication and calendaring applications in a private network
First Claim
1. A method in a wireless communication device of providing temporary communication features with a private network in an application of the wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- registering, with one or more processors and a communication circuit, the wireless communication device as a temporary member device with the private network;
receiving private network directory information from the private network with the one or more processors and the communication circuit;
storing, in a memory of the wireless communication device, the private network directory information by integrating the private network directory information with a locally stored address book directory of the wireless communication device;
filtering the private network directory information by determining which entries of the private network directory information are common with entries of the locally stored address book; and
presenting, on a user interface of the wireless communication device, only the entries common to both the private network directory information and the locally stored address book directory.

Abstract
A communication device (100) and method (700) are disclosed for providing temporary communication features, temporary scheduling features, or combinations thereof associated with temporary membership in a private network (101), such as that associated with a hotel (102), resort (103), or cruise ship (105). An association module (209) can register (701) the communication device (100) with the private network (101) as a temporary member device. A private network information retriever (210) can then retrieve (702) one or both of private network directory information (109) and private network scheduling information (110). An integrator (211) can then integrate this information into an address book application (212) or a calendaring application (215) to provide additional functionality for the communication device (100).
