Intelligent electronic communications
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- accessing an electronic communication history associated with a user;
determining, using one or more processors, a predictive trait associated with the user by analyzing the electronic communication history to determine a pattern of electronic communication behavior associated with the user, wherein the pattern of electronic communication behavior is determined to be predictive of the user'"'"'s future electronic communication behavior;
providing a visual indicator with an appearance based on the determined predictive trait, wherein the visual indicator is associated with a call destination entity;
receiving an indication of a selection, by the user, of the visual indicator;
determining whether the user is available for an electronic communication; and
establishing an electronic communication between the call destination entity and the user.

Abstract
Establishing a telephone call includes enabling display of a visual indicator of a call destination entity and detecting selection by a user of the visual indicator. The availability of the user to receive a first telephone call is determined. Voice communications between the call destination entity and the user are established in response to detection of the selection by the user of the visual indicator and conditioned on the user being determined to be available to receive the first telephone call. Establishing voice communications includes enabling placement of the first telephone call to the user to establish a first PSTN link with the user and enabling a voice communications link to be setup with the call destination entity.
