Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for associating communication information with a geographic location-aware contact entry. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may include identifying a geographic location. The method may also include receiving a communication including identification information and originating from the geographic location. Further, the method may include associating the identification information with a contact entry.

Claims (53)

1. A system comprising:

a display; and

a processor configured to:

receive a contact entry input;

receive a selection of a representation of a geographic location on a displayed graphical map and additional criteria for communications that originate from the geographic location;

receive input specifying that communications originating from the geographic location are to be associated with the contact entry input;

receive a communication including identification information originating from the geographic location that meets the additional criteria; and

add the identification information to the contact entry in response to receipt of the communication.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the additional criteria is a time period.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the identification information comprises one of a name, physical address, telephone number, and email address.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the received communication comprises one of a telephone call, text message, and email.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

present a notification of receipt of the communication;

receive an input command for adding the identification information to the contact entry; and

add the identification information in response to receipt of the input command.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to associate a communication rule with the contact entry for managing the contact entry based on communications originating from the geographic location.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

determine a number of communications including the identification information that originated from the geographic location;

determine whether the number of communications meets a threshold number of communications; and

add the identification information to the contact entry in response to the number of communications meeting the threshold number of communications.

8. A system comprising:

a display; and

a processor configured to:

receive a source identifier for a contact entry;

receive a communication originating from the source identifier;

determine a geographic region from which the communication originated;

present at least one option on the display for updating the contact entry with the geographic location; and

update the contact entry with the geographic location in response to receipt of selection of the at least one option, and

wherein the processor is configured to associate a communication rule with the contact entry for managing the contact entry based on communications originating from the geographic location.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the source identifier is a telephone number.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the received communication comprises one of a telephone call, text message, and email.

11. A system comprising:

a display; and

a processor configured to:

receive a source identifier for a contact entry;

receive a communication originating from the source identifier;

determine a geographic region from which the communication originated;

analyze a context of the communication to select an option for updating the contact entry;

present the option on the display for updating the contact entry to associate the context of the communication with the geographic region; and

update the contact entry based on selection of the option, and

wherein the processor is configured to associate a communication rule with the contact entry for managing the contact entry based on communications originating from the geographic location.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the received communication comprises one of a telephone call, text message, and email.

13. A system comprising;

a display; and

a processor configured to:

receive a source identifier for a contact entry;

receive a communication originating from the source identifier;

determine a geographic region from which the communication originated;

analyze content of the communication to select an option for updating the contact entry to associate the content of the communication with the geographic region;

present the option on the display for updating the contact entry; and

update the contact entry based on selection of the option, and

wherein the processor is configured to associate a communication rule with the contact entry for managing the contact entry based on communications originating from the geographic location.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the received communication comprises one of a telephone call, text message, and email.
