Abstract

In one embodiment, a mobile device that includes a message library, a display screen, a memory, and a processor. The message library includes a plurality of predetermined text messages, and the memory is encoded with logic. The processor is configured to execute the logic to receive a first user input corresponding to user selection of an intended recipient, and responsive to receipt of the first user input, present on the display screen the plurality of predetermined text messages automatically ordered based on the applicability of each message at a given instance of time.

Claims

1. A mobile device, comprising:

a message library comprising a plurality of predetermined text messages;

a display screen;

a memory encoded with logic; and

a processor configured to execute the logic to;

receive a first user input corresponding to user selection of an intended recipient; and

responsive to receipt of the first user input, present on the display screen the plurality of predetermined text messages automatically ordered based on the applicability of each message at a given instance of time.

2. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the applicability of each message is based on a history of past text message selections, wherein the plurality of predetermined text messages are presented in order from most frequently selected to least frequently selected.

3. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the applicability of each message is based on a history of past text message selections involving the intended recipient, wherein the plurality of predetermined text messages are presented in order from most frequently selected to least frequently selected with respect to the intended recipient.

4. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the applicability of each message is based on an identity of the intended recipient, wherein the plurality of predetermined text messages are presented in a different order depending on the identity of the intended recipient.

5. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the applicability of each message is based on a stored classification of the intended recipient, wherein the plurality of predetermined text messages are presented in a different order depending on the stored classification of the intended recipient.

6. The mobile device of claim 5, wherein the stored classification comprises one or a combination of an association based on friend, family, or business.

7. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the applicability of each message is based on data collected from the mobile device.

8. The mobile device of claim 7, wherein the data comprises a current date or time.

9. The mobile device of claim 7, wherein the data comprises a location of the mobile device or a status of movement of the user of the mobile device.

10. The mobile device of claim 7, wherein the data comprises information corresponding to stored calendar appointments associated with the user of the mobile device.

11. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to select at least one of the plurality of predetermined text messages responsive to user selection from the display screen and cause the delivery of the selected one of the plurality of predetermined text messages.

12. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the applicability of each message is based on a combination of history of past text message selections, information corresponding to the intended recipient, and data collected from the mobile device.

13. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the ordering is implemented subsequent to the receipt of the first user input.

14. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to execute the logic to modify the message library responsive to a second user input received from a displayed alpha character keyboard.

15. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to receive the message library from a second device.

16. A method, comprising:

receiving a plurality of predetermined text messages;

storing the plurality of predetermined text messages in a message library;

receiving a first user input corresponding to user selection of an intended recipient;

automatically ordering, by a processor, the plurality of predetermined text messages based on the applicability of each message at a given instance of time; and

responsive to receiving the first user input, presenting on a display screen of a mobile device the processor-ordered plurality of predetermined text messages.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the applicability of each message is based on a history of past text message selections, wherein the plurality of predetermined text messages are presented in order from most frequently selected to least frequently selected.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the applicability of each message is further based on information corresponding to the intended recipient, wherein the plurality of text messages are presented in a first order for a first recipient and a second order for a different recipient.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the applicability of each message is further based on user-contextual data collected from the processor.

20. A system, comprising:

a message library comprising a plurality of predetermined text messages;

a display screen;

a memory encoded with logic; and

a processor configured to execute the logic to;

receive a first user input corresponding to user selection of an intended recipient;

automatically order the plurality of predetermined text messages based on the applicability of each message at a given instance of time; and

responsive to receiving the first user input, present on the display screen the ordered plurality of predetermined text messages.
