Systems, methods and apparatus for tracking on-call activity
View Patent ↗A first electronic device engages in a voice communication with another electronic device. The voice communication is associated with data stored by the first electronic device. In some instances, the data is generated the first electronic device or received by the first electronic device from the second electronic device in response to, or as a consequence of the voice of the voice communication. During the voice communication, or sometime after the voice communication is terminated, the first electronic device determines that the data is associated with the voice communication. The data is then made available to an application program, so that the data can be associated with other data. Thus, a human user of the first electronic device is relieved of identifying data within a context, and relieved of the task associating the data with other data.
1. A system comprising:
multiple applications within a mobile communication device capable of being associated in any combination with a voice call;
wherein each application processes corresponding application data;
wherein the applications are associated with the voice call via a user-selectable context for associating application data with voice calls, the user-selectable context being selected via a user interface of the mobile communication device;
wherein at least some of the applications share the user interface of the mobile communication device for inputting at least some of the application data; and
a component within the mobile communication device that allows at least some of the applications that have been associated with the voice call via the user-selectable context to share corresponding application data with each other to relieve the user from having to manually identify application data from the multiple applications that are within the context and from having to manually associate the identified application data with each other via the user interface.
2. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the application data include voice content of the voice call.
3. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the multiple applications within the mobile communication device are associated with the voice call based on a time period relative to the voice call.
4. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the multiple applications are not associated with the voice call with reference to a time period relative to the voice call and the one or more applications are associated with the voice call based on application data having a substantial relationship to each other.
5. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the component that associates the corresponding application data comprises:
a component that integrates the corresponding application data of the applications associated with the voice call.
6. The system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
an open platform operating system configured to support the multiple applications, wherein the multiple applications comprise a plurality of user-installable applications.
7. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least some of the corresponding application data reside on different systems and are retrieved by the mobile communication device.
