Enhanced Message Handling
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- sending, by the computing device, a first message to a first identity;
sending, by the computing device, a second message to a second identity; and
in response to determining, based on local address book data, that the first identity and the second identity are both associated with a first person, displaying, by the computing device, the first message and the second message in a single conversation window.

Abstract
Methods, computer readable media, and apparatuses for enhanced message handling are presented. A first message may be sent to a first identity. Thereafter, a second message may be sent to a second identity. Alternatively, a first message may be received from a first identity, and a second message may be received from a second identity. In either case, in response to determining, based on local address book data, that the first identity and the second identity are both associated with a first person, the first message and the second message may be displayed in a single conversation window. Subsequently sent and/or received messages may be similarly aggregated into the conversation window based on such messages being to and/or from one or more identities of the same person. Additionally, these subsequently aggregated messages may be sent and/or received via different communication services, such as email, SMS, and/or social networking services.

24. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause at least one computing device to:
-
register an identity for use with a first communication service, the identity being used when communicating via a second communication service different from the first communication service; receive a first request to send a first message to a first identity; in response to determining that the first identity is registered with the first communication service, determine to send the first message via the first communication service; send the first message to the first identity; receive a second request to send a second message to a second identity; in response to determining that the second identity is not registered with the first communication service, determine to send the second message via the second communication service; send the second message to the second identity; and in response to determining, based on local address book data, that the first identity and the second identity are both associated with a first person, display the first message and the second message in a single conversation window.
