Missed telephone call management for a portable multifunction device
In one aspect of the invention, a computer-implemented method is disclosed for use in conjunction with a portable electronic device with a touch screen display. A list of items comprising missed telephone calls is displayed. Upon detecting user selection of an item in the list, contact information is displayed for a respective caller corresponding to the user selected item. The displayed contact information includes a plurality of contact objects that include a first contact object, comprising a telephone number object having a first telephone number associated with the missed telephone call, and a second contact object. Upon detecting user selection of the second contact object, a communication with the respective caller is initiated via a modality corresponding to the second contact object.
1. A graphical user interface on a portable electronic device with a touch screen display, a memory, and one or more processors to execute one or more programs stored in the memory, the graphical user interface comprising:
a list of items, the list comprising a plurality of interactive displayed items associated with telephone calls,
wherein:
at least one interactive displayed item in the list is associated with a prior telephone call and is also associated with contact information stored in the portable electronic device;
each such interactive displayed item associated with both a prior telephone call and contact information comprises at least a first interactive displayed portion and a second interactive displayed portion, the second interactive displayed portion being distinct from the first interactive displayed portion;
a finger tap input is detected at a first user selected interactive displayed item associated with both a prior telephone call and contact information, wherein the finger tap input is detected at the first interactive displayed portion of the first user selected interactive displayed item, and in response to that input a telephone call is initiated to a telephone number associated with the first user selected interactive displayed item;
a finger tap input is detected at a second user selected interactive displayed item associated with both a prior telephone call and contact information, wherein the finger tap input is detected at the second interactive displayed portion of the second user selected interactive displayed item, and in response to that input contact information is displayed for a caller corresponding to the second user selected interactive displayed item, the displayed contact information including simultaneous display of a plurality of contact objects, the plurality of contact objects comprising:
a first contact object associated with a telephonic communication modality for calling the caller, and
a second contact object associated with a non-telephonic communication modality for contacting the caller; and
in response to detecting user selection of the second contact object, a communication is initiated with the corresponding caller through the non-telephonic communication modality corresponding to the second contact object.
2. The graphical user interface of claim 1 , wherein the second contact object is an email contact object, and wherein initiating the communication with the corresponding caller through the non-telephonic communication modality corresponding to the second contact object includes preparing an email message with an email address associated with the second contact object, ready for text input by the user.
3. The graphical user interface of claim 1 , wherein the second contact object is an instant messaging object, and wherein initiating the communication with the corresponding caller through the non-telephonic communication modality corresponding to the second contact object includes preparing an instant message to a number associated with the second contact object, ready for text input by the user.
4. The graphical user interface of claim 1 , wherein a single item in the list of items corresponds to a plurality of consecutive missed telephone calls.
5. The graphical user interface of claim 1 , wherein, while the list of items comprising prior telephone calls is displayed, a number indicating a plurality of consecutive missed telephone calls is displayed within a respective single item in the list.
6. The graphical user interface of claim 1 , wherein a single item in the list of items corresponds to a plurality of missed telephone calls from a plurality of distinct telephone numbers associated with a respective caller.
7. The graphical user interface of claim 1 , wherein the second interactive displayed portion of the second user selected interactive displayed item is identified by an icon displayed within the second user selected interactive displayed item.
8. The graphical user interface of claim 1 , wherein the second contact object is a contact object associated with sending an email to the caller and the plurality of simultaneously displayed contact objects includes a third contact object associated with sending an instant message to the caller.
