Identifying and displaying a set of high priority contacts on a display device
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying and displaying a set of high priority contacts on a display device associated with an end user device, the method comprising:
- retrieving high priority contact list configuration settings that include one or more criteria for identifying a set of high priority contacts from a contact list having a plurality of contacts;
determining whether information associated with one or more of the plurality of contacts meets the one or more criteria retrieved;
identifying the one or more of the plurality of contacts that meet the one or more criteria as a set of one or more high priority contacts, wherein at least one contact is identified as a high priority contact based on criteria selected from the group consisting of a calling frequency, a calendar date, a calling pattern and a location; and
displaying the set of one or more high priority contacts in a high priority contact list on the display device.

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform a method for displaying and accessing contacts in a contact list on a display device, comprising:
-
retrieving high priority contact list configuration settings that include one or more criteria for identifying a set of high priority contacts from a contact list having a plurality of contacts; determining whether information associated with one or more of the plurality of contacts meets the one or more criteria retrieved; identifying the one or more of the plurality of contacts that meet the one or more criteria as a set of one or more high priority contacts, wherein at least one contact is identified as a high priority contact based on criteria selected from the group consisting of a calling frequency, a calendar date, a calling pattern and a location; and displaying the set of one or more high priority contacts in a high priority contact list on the display device.

19. A computer-implemented method for identifying and displaying a set of high priority contacts on a display device associated with an end user device, the method comprising:
-
retrieving high priority contact list configuration settings that include one or more criteria for identifying a set of high priority contacts from a contact list having a plurality of contacts; determining whether information associated with one or more of the plurality of contacts meets the one or more criteria retrieved; receiving one of social network information or calendar information associated with one or more of the plurality of contacts; identifying the one or more of the plurality of contacts that meet the one or more criteria as a set of one or more high priority contacts, wherein at least one contact is identified as a high priority contact based on the social network information or calendar information; and displaying the set of one or more high priority contacts in a high priority contact list on the display device.
