Abstract

There is presented a method that includes (a) receiving, from a server, data that indicates an intensity of interactions between a user and each of a first contact of the user and a second contact of the user, where the interactions include (i) communications conducted by way of a first device of the user, and (ii) communications conducted by way of a second device of the user, (b) calculating a first score for the first contact and a second score for the second contact, based on the intensity of interactions, (c) determining a first size for a first image that represents the first contact based on the first score, and a second size for a second image that represents the second contact based on the second score, and (d) presenting on a display, the first image having the first size and the second image having the second size.

Claims (19)

1. A method comprising: receiving, by a processor, from a server, data that indicates an intensity of interactions between a user and each of a first contact of said user and a second contact of said user, wherein said interactions include (i) communications conducted by way of a first device of said user, and (ii) communications conducted by way of a second device of said user;

calculating, by said processor, a first score for said first contact and a second score for said second contact, based on said intensity of interactions;

determining, by said processor, a first size for a first image that represents said first contact based on said first score, and a second size for a second image that represents said second contact based on said second score; and presenting, said processor, on a display, said first image having said first size and said second image having said second size.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said interactions comprise an interaction selected from the group consisting of a number of voice calls, a length of a voice call, a number of text messages, a total minutes of one-on-one (1-1) voice calls, a total minutes of conference voice calls, a total number of messages in 1-1 chats, a total number of messages in group chats.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said first score is greater than said second score when said intensity of interactions between said user and said first contact is greater than said intensity of interactions between said user and said second contact.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein said first size is greater than said second size when said first score is greater than said second score.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said display is a component of a device, and wherein said determining considers a characteristic of said device.

6. An apparatus comprising: a display; a processor; and a non-transitory memory that contains instructions that are readable by said processor to cause said processor to perform actions of: receiving, from a server, data that indicates an intensity of interactions between a user and each of a first contact of said user and a second contact of said user, wherein said interactions include (i) communications conducted by way of a first device of said user, and (ii) communications conducted by way of a second device of said user;

calculating a first score for said first contact and a second score for said second contact, based on said intensity of interactions; determining a first size for a first image that represents said first contact based on said first score, and a second size for a second image that represents said second contact based on said second score; and presenting on said display, said first image having said first size and said second image having said second size.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said interactions comprise an interaction selected from the group consisting of a number of voice calls, a length of a voice call, a number of text messages, a total minutes of one-on-one (1-1) voice calls, a total minutes of conference voice calls, a total number of messages in 1-1 chats, a total number of messages in group chats.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said first score is greater than said second score when said intensity of interactions between said user and said first contact is greater than said intensity of interactions between said user and said second contact.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein said first size is greater than said second size when said first score is greater than said second score.

10. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said determining considers a characteristic of said apparatus.

11. A non-transitory storage device comprising instructions that are readable by a processor to cause said processor to perform actions of: receiving, from a server, data that indicates an intensity of interactions between a user and each of a first contact of said user and a second contact of said user, wherein said interactions include (i) communications conducted by way of a first device of said user, and (ii) communications conducted by way of a second device of said user; calculating a first score for said first contact and a second score for said second contact, based on said intensity of interactions;

determining a first size for a first image that represents said first contact based on said first score, and a second size for a second image that represents said second contact based on said second score; and presenting on a display, said first image having said first size and said second image having said second size.

12. The non-transitory storage device of claim 11 , wherein said interactions comprise an interaction selected from the group consisting of a number of voice calls, a length of a voice call, a number of text messages, a total minutes of one-on-one (1-1) voice calls, a total minutes of conference voice calls, a total number of messages in 1-1 chats, a total number of messages in group chats.

13. The non-transitory storage device of claim 11 , wherein said first score is greater than said second score when said intensity of interactions between said user and said first contact is greater than said intensity of interactions between said user and said second contact.

14. The non-transitory storage device of claim 13 , wherein said first size is greater than said second size when said first score is greater than said second score.

15. The non-transitory storage device of claim 11 , wherein said display is a component of a device, and wherein said determining considers a characteristic of said device.
