In another embodiment, data object (such as, activity, event, social networking contact person etc.) visual representation that collects can be implemented on each axle in three-dimensional system of coordinate, wherein each axle corresponds to Spatial Dimension (such as distance etc.), time dimension (such as time) and social dimension (such as, user to the expection interest amount of event or social networking content, i.e. ' social adjacency ').By navigating on space and social adjacency axle or dimension, can provide for the object come into play with selected contact to user to select the ability of the contact person in reference frame further.Thus, the room and time information that the certain data objects that figure represents is associated by them is to correspond to event or activity, or the room and time information that can be associated by them corresponds to the social networking contact person of user.

Or visual representation itself need not show each dimension, but the mode of display data object is still based on each dimension in three dimensions.Such as, if visual representation corresponds to the location drawing of geographic area, then actual visual representation display space dimension.But the real data object that the location drawing shows at its correspondence position also meets time of inquiry and social parameter to be first displayed on the location drawing.Thus, although geographic map is generally used for indicating positions, in this case, the pseudomorphism indicating the data object on present figure is also used to indicate corresponding data object and meets other parameters of inquiry and be not only location parameter.

Fig. 6 depicts the exemplary coordinate system 600 for realizing embodiments more disclosed herein.In the figure, consider that three orthogonal axes are used for presenting information and carry out convergent-divergent relative to user 605 (being considered to the initial point of orthogonal axes).To understand, the initial point of orthogonal axes can represent can be identified in social, room and time dimension any point (such as, such as given subscriber or user in the current location of user at the profile of current time, given subscriber group based on the profile etc. of the attribute different because of group in current time), thus make it possible to find out data object relative position relative to initial point in each dimension.On transverse axis 610 (i.e. x-axis), the convergent-divergent based on space along Spatial Dimension can be represented.In one embodiment, the position be associated with data object can represent along this axle from the physical distance of initial point (such as customer location).Z-axis 620 (i.e. y-axis) can be used for representing the time-based convergent-divergent along time dimension.In another embodiment, can represent in the past and both time quantum now along this axle.3rd axle 630 (i.e. z-axis) can be used for representing the convergent-divergent based on relation along social dimension.In various embodiments, this axle can be used for representing the sociodistance from initial point (for example, the social profile of such as user or group's profile) or adjacency.Such as, the data object corresponding to best of friends or household can be represented as than the acquaintance become estranged closer to initial point, and the acquaintance become estranged can be represented as away from initial point.Except ' type ' (such as paying the utmost attention to home contact etc. compared to friend) of relation, social adjacency also can consider indirect relation (such as, the friend of friend will be tightr than the friend of the friend of friend etc.).

In another example, in Fig. 6 the initial point of the visual representation that data object represents can indicate specify initial point (the social profile of such as subscriber or subscriber group, interested time and interested position) and along each axle expectation dimensional extent for display inquiry (such as given user).Thus, in one example, if given user wishes his social networking contacts checked in three (3) miles of his current location, then inquire about by social parameter (such as, can be defaulted as user any direct friend (if user do not reduce or expand he/her ask the contact person that will check)), spatial parameter (such as, the combination of user's current location and its three mile radius) and time parameter is (such as, current time, this can comprise default time scope thus make to be known in time threshold amount (such as in the past 10 minutes in) for any position of current contact person is considered to ' current ') composition.In the example present, visual representation then by comprise current in appointment three mile radius each of user contact directly the display of people.The actual expression of contact person can via the pseudomorphism be associated (such as, the video etc. of the social networks of the picture of the picture of contact person, contact person present position, indicating user and contact person).

Although give this example by the social networking contact person of user, but will understand, also specified activities can be carried out by similar mode, with the display making user inquire about his/her preference activity indicated in his/her social profile, or inquiry has the specific activities (such as golf, bowling) corresponding to and share the social networking contact person of the interest of activity and/or the data object of movable available position (such as golf course, bowling alley etc.).

Such as, if visual representation corresponds to the location drawing, then this visual representation can show the given position scope with scaling domains based on spatial parameter, and the position of each data object of meeting spatial, social activity and time parameter can be illustrated their corresponding position within the scope of given position.Thus, user can check the location drawing and know each pseudomorphism and is associated to the matching result of inquiry and can infers its corresponding position.Or if visual representation corresponds to socialgram, then visual representation can show matching result in such a manner: make it possible to the social networks inferring user and matched data object from display.Or, if visual representation corresponds to timeline, then visual representation can show matching result in such a manner: make it possible to from the timing of the visual inspection of display being inferred to data object (when such as, the generation of event, contact person are in the position etc. corresponding to spatial parameter).

In various embodiments, can use in the information of three types (physical distance, time and social adjacency) both realize other and represent.Such as, can provide the convergent-divergent based on space in two axles, wherein transverse axis represents longitudinal direction or East and West direction distance, and Z-axis represents transverse direction or north-south distance.The disclosure contemplates each embodiment, and more integrated user interface wherein can be provided can to visit, check and manage information on mobile device in more intuitive mode to make user.

According to the principle of activity theory, from anthropocentric angle, activity is primary context.The theory of activity theory is for participating in as people and can causing various instrument and process with during its environmental interaction.These instruments and process can be the external presentation of mental and social process, and these instruments and process can become and can more easily access other people and pass on thus.This type of instrument and process can be particularly useful alternately for social activity.In the framework of deriving from activity theory, task and activity can be subdivided into each action, and these actions can be further subdivided into each operation.In system context, use these classifications can provide understanding for user's necessary step of executing the task.The disclosure contemplates the realization of activity theory principle to be provided for managing and accessing the intuitive user interface of the information on mobile device.

User Activity is considered in the framework that can describe in the figure 7.As understood, the description of Fig. 7 provides about how determining ' the social adjacency ' to data-oriented object (such as in this case for movable) or the example of social networks degree from user or customer group (i.e. initial point).When considering mankind's activity, three important three elements can be considered.710 describe theme-rule-community three element.720 describe community-role-object three element.730 describe theme-instrument-object three element.In theme-rule-community three element, people follow implicit expression in community and explicit rule.Social networks is " free scale " network, the some maincenters (hub) comprising the people highly connected and the many satellites connected by spoke (spoke).Social networks continues the people of interpolation renewal and therefore keeps increasing.New people more may just add the group with many " connections ".

In community-role-object three element, for the object of executed activity, people follow hierarchy and serve as the role of labor division.In theme-instrument-object three element, people need arbitration to carry out executed activity via just suitable instrument.Institute's selection tool should provide the abundance for object (target) at hand to arbitrate.The event snapshot from the analogy with Minkowski space time diagram is used to be formed by activity is regarded as " event " to provide and keep the contextual mechanism of space-time.Fig. 8 depicts exemplary space-time diagram 810.Future and past event can be represented by absolute light cone 820 and absolute past light cone 830 in the future, the intersection point instruction current time 840 of wherein two tapers.Event then can be represented as event snapshot 850, as each sheet of past or in the future light cone.Again, to mediate a settlement description although Fig. 8 carrys out solution about ' event ', but same teaching is applicable to the data object of other types, the social networking contact person of such as user, wherein ' event ' expects in the position of special time corresponding to contact person, as what infer from the calendar, agenda etc. of contact person.

In view of the above discussion, disclose user can be made can to perform the various views of each activity in context, filtrator and container.In one embodiment, three front views can be provided.Activity diagram an embodiment (such as, it corresponds to the example of coupling from the visual representation of the data object of the activity of the query argument of user) in, movable snapshot can be rendered as the event on timeline by activity diagram view, with the event class in space-time seemingly.Complete event and can be indicated as historical events, and can be represented as the time in the past " in the recent period " in past event soon.Bygone part more remote can be represented as time in the past " remote ".The event of plan can be indicated as event in the future, and the event in future can be represented as future time " in the recent period " soon.The event in future more remote can be represented as future time " remote ".Correspondingly, if the time parameter of the time location of initial point or inquiry corresponds to current, then the position of data object in time dimension corresponds in time that this data object (being such as event or activity in this case) was once or how far be contemplated to.

In one embodiment, available key can be used to realize on a mobile communications device across the navigation of each data object (such as event, contact person, multimedia file etc.) as above.In the equipment with numeric keypad, soft key can be used.Soft key to perform the button can assigning function, this text function can being assigned to depend on display illustrates upon pressing this button near this button or other instructions.In one embodiment, this type of soft key can be used for mitigation and amplification over the display (such as, wherein ' convergent-divergent ' means the space explained orally of the visual representation of Update Table object, time and/or social dimension).In other embodiments, the five button-type navigation keys with left and right, upper and lower arrow and ACK button can be used.In certain embodiments, ACK button can doubling be that a key shares button.

In one embodiment, a soft key can be designated as " reducing " function, and a soft key can be designated as " amplification " function.Reduce and can carry out serial on time orientation towards the past or towards increase event history.Amplification can towards carrying out serial on time orientation in the future or towards increase scheduled events.In an embodiment of the three-dimensional framework for representing activity, time orientation can be designated as Y-axis, as shown in Figure 6.But will understand, user is permitted on convergent-divergent in any dimension, and is not only the time.Such as, user can reduce about Spatial Dimension, and the scope that this can correspond to increases spatial parameter meets user's inquiry to make farther distance.In another example, user can amplify about social dimension, this can correspond to the social requirement increasing social parameter, with the inquiry (such as, ' only kinsfolk being shown ' is compare narrower requirement with ' illustrating friend and kinsfolk ') making social networks more closely meet user.As understood, ' convergent-divergent ' can correspond to and expand or shrink the visual field, or alternatively ' conversion ' visual field is to make to check from different perspectives the data of identical amount (such as, in time example, user can be transformed into the view of the data object that next week occurs again from the view of the data object occurred in next week, with the data object making two views all show week amount, be just in Different periods).

When navigating in the data object of user in visual representation, user can select this data-oriented object by highlighting (such as right click) data-oriented object.By clicking in ACK button, interface can provide the details of this data object, such as event.Such as, display can indicate the position of this event, date/time and invitee.Or, if data object is social networking contact person, then highlight or select this data object can cause showing profile or other information of this contact person.This display also can indicate can by user for the action selected by selected event.When this data object is event, this type of action can comprise and such as upgrades event details, invites other contact persons, adds incoming event or cancellation event.When this data object is contact person, this type of action can comprise with this contact person's messaging, add comment on, contact person is added to friend etc. to the social profile wall of this contact person.

With reference to figure 9, what explain orally is to realize the exemplary user interface 900 on mobile communication equipment (such as cell phone).Display 915 can be the LCD from the visual representation of data object to mobile phone user or the OLED display that provide.Display 915 can comprise the Title area 910 of the current type indicating the current user interface presented.In the example of figure 9, multiple data object 950 can present from the central point display in radial mode.Data object 950 can be rendered as pseudomorphism or icon, as commentary.Other embodiments can use thumbnail or other pattern indicator as required.Some data objects 950 can represent by user ID or other means identifying pseudomorphism or icon in limited display area.Explain orally in display 915 or represent that this concrete mode of data-oriented object 950 can be called as ' pseudomorphism '.In one example, similar pseudomorphism can be associated with similar data object, or is associated with the data object being shared to the given adjacency of inquiring about initial point among one or more in space, social activity and/or time dimension.

Such as, if two specific data objects are corresponding to the event occurring in same time and/or position, then these two data objects can share common visual signature to pass on this similarity in its pseudomorphism.In another example, if two specific data objects correspond to the activity of identical type (such as, two different bowling championships) relevant event, then these two data objects can share common visual signature to pass on this similarity (image of the people such as, played bowling, the image etc. of pin) in its pseudomorphism.In another example, if two specific data objects correspond to household contact person, then these two data objects can share common visual signature to pass on this similarity (for example, such as having the image of the specific color background shared by all kinsfolks) in its pseudomorphism.In another example, icon or pseudomorphism 920 can identify with the trigram initialism of contact person or initial.To understand, many dissimilar pseudomorphisms are used in and visually represent different data objects, and are not restrictive in the example above provided of these chapters and sections.

Soft key 930 and 935 can be designated as function indicated over the display.With reference to accompanying drawing, soft key 935 can be designated as "+" instruction 925.Soft key 930 can be designated as "-" instruction 922 on display.User interface 900 also can comprise the navigation button 940 for carrying out navigating on upper and lower, direction, left and right.This interface also can comprise the select button 945 being usually implemented as ACK button.

As above explained orally, user can navigate over the display by selecting the navigation button 940.In one example, the initial display of data object 950 in display 915 can be considered to the initial query of user, and wherein shown data object 950 meets the social activity of user, the initial setting up of Time and place parameter.But user is not limited to the initial display of data object 950 on display 915.On the contrary, such as, can roll between different classes of data object (such as activity, position, event etc.) to the selection of left and to the right the navigation button.Carry out navigation with button up and down and can move to comparatively go up of hierarchy and comparatively lower floor by enlivening viewing area, with make to revise inquire about social activity, one or more in time and/or spatial parameter.Such as, current active regions can be throbber region 917.By pressing upwards arrow button, active regions can be switched to main subject matter region 910, and it indicates in the accompanying drawings " my activity diagram ".User can select subsequently to the left or to the right the navigation button to change motif area, such as change into " my things ", this means that the data object of display in display 915 converts things (such as multimedia file etc.) to from movable (such as event etc.).After user navigates to the data object of desired type, by meeting current social activity, the data object of Time and place parameter is shown to user, by that analogy.As will be described in more detail below in, user can revise in inquiry subsequently for determining to show the parameter (such as space, time and/or social parameter) of which data object.

When active regions is icon area 917, user can select to zoom in or out by pressing "+" or "-" convergent-divergent soft key, this have modified the social activity of data object, time and/or spatial parameter further, and which data object impact will show to user by this.With reference to Figure 10, when user's pressing "-" reduces button, amendment is social, one or more in time and/or spatial parameter, to make it possible to the visual field to be extended to the data object 950 comprising a new circle, wherein first the activity of last circle is represented as less circle 1010, thus instruction circle 1010 is farther from view.Specifically, in this example, reduce and mean that inquiry initial point changes, and be presented at the new data-objects collection on social activity, space and/or time dimension in the given range of new initial point.As shown in Figure 10, more the data object of tight fit through upgrading inquiry can be shown more highlightedly in display 915 (such as, enclose 950 than circle 1010 more greatly and more outstanding etc.).Similarly, if having selected convergent-divergent the "+" button, then the visual field can amplify to provide the activity as that previously indicated in fig .9 circle.Correspondingly, the initial point of zoom button grant user amendment inquiry, time different in display 915, position, social networks etc. (such as, " my friends of baseball game is being watched in display " can be converted to " showing the bowling championship held near my family tonight " etc.) can be focused on to make user.User also can revise the dimensional extent of satisfied inquiry for each circle or level, to make user can relative to the expansion of same initial point or the data object shown by shrinking (such as, " show the activity in my next week " and can be converted to " activity showing my next month ", by that analogy).

User can use further, right, left and lower navigation key to select the visual field, and selects the item in the visual field further.Such as, with reference to Figure 11, user can use up and down the navigation button so that the selected visual field is moved to icon area 950 from Title area 910.User can use to the right subsequently and left navigation key special icon to be chosen as icon or the pseudomorphism of current active.In the example depicted in fig. 11, icon or the pseudomorphism of 1110 instruction current active is enclosed.Instruction can be used to enliven the additive method of icon or pseudomorphism, such as highlight, create hatching effect etc.

In one embodiment, the visual representation (such as activity diagram etc.) of data object can create and revise via website (such as by maintenance such as social networking service device 174 grade) and can upload via the Internet 175.Such as, the access to the user account be associated with mobile communication equipment can be provided based on the service of web.This service can authenticated, and provides various account management function to user.User can use web services to create further and revise social networking information.Once the social networking information that user creates or have modified on website, on electric wave, (over-the-airwaves) downloads and can provide information to hand-held set, thus upgrades fresh information on the handset.

In one embodiment, new data object can by provide new data object guide to generate to promote to new data object (such as, new contact person, activity and/or event) intuitively and create efficiently.This class wizard such as can be provided for the mechanism selecting people/contact person, place/position, data or media entities/things and time value.This time value can not be concrete time or date, but can select relative to current time value.Such as, user can select the people in contacts list, chosen position and select to indicate the time value of " now " selected relative to " after a while ".

In another embodiment, visual representation may correspond in expression contact person and group along the socialgram of social adjacency dimension.Contact person can comprise individual, tissue and other entities.Group can comprise as by user or the linkman set by device definition.Social adjacency can usually be defined as the instruction of (usual two person-to-person) degree of relationship along social dimension.In one embodiment, icon or pseudomorphism can be shown on a mobile communications device to indicate the people/contact person (such as, intimate contact person can show more highlightedly than distant contacts people) of " intimately " and " becoming estranged ".This expression can provide quick to user and find out the instruction of social networks intuitively.Social adjacency such as can be indicated as " more intimate ", " becoming estranged ", " friend ", " friend of friend " etc.Or, by the number of social interaction and/or type (such as, appearing at the number of pictures etc. in same picture based on the number of exchanged instant message or Email, user together with contact person) determined social adjacency.

As indicated above, in one embodiment, the navigation across various data object (such as contact person) can use available key to realize on a mobile communications device.In general manner data object and the pseudomorphism be associated are described as activity or event about Fig. 9 to the example in 11 embodiments provided above, the visual representation of data object becomes activity diagram by this.If data object is limited to social networking contact person, then the visual representation of gained can be called as socialgram, described by referring now to Figure 12.

In the equipment with numeric keypad, soft key can be used.In one embodiment, the navigation across data object can realize for the soft key carrying out mitigation and amplification in the visual representation (such as socialgram) of data object by using on mobile communication equipment.In other embodiments, the five button-type navigation keys with left and right, upper and lower arrow and ACK button can be used.In certain embodiments, ACK button can doubling be that a key shares button.

As discussed above, a soft key can be designated as " reducing " function, and a soft key can be designated as " amplification " function.Mitigation and amplification can cause in reference frame, upgrade respective numbers contact person or people.Such as, reduce the number that can increase contact person or people in reference frame based on social adjacency, indicated by the number of icon or pseudomorphism on display 915 and layout.In one example, with regard to social adjacency, the example of " amplification " can be the display being converted to only friend or only household from the display of family and friends.In another example, the example " reduced " can be from only friend or only household be converted to the display of family and friends.Or, also can occur " conversion " of shown social adjacency, show the display being converted to only household from the display of only friend by this.

With reference to Figure 12, what explain orally is the exemplary user interface 1200 that can realize on a mobile communications device, and this exemplary user interface 1200 provides the socialgram comprising individual contact person.Display 915 can be the LCD from the visual representation of data to mobile phone user or the OLED display that provide.Display 915 can comprise and indicates the current type of the current user interface presented to be the Title area 910 of " my contact person ".Correspondingly, in fig. 12, the data object considered corresponds to the social networking contact person of user.Each contact icon or pseudomorphism 920 can be presented with radial fashion from the central point display.Other embodiments desirably can use thumbnail or other pattern indicator.Some contact persons 920 can with user ID or in limited display area other means of marked graph target present.Such as, icon or pseudomorphism 920 can identify with the trigram thumbnail of contact person or initial.

Soft key 930 and 935 can be designated as function indicated over the display.User interface 900 also can comprise the navigation button 940 for carrying out navigating on upper and lower, direction, left and right.This interface also can comprise the select button 945 being usually implemented as ACK button.

As above explained orally, user can navigate over the display by selecting the navigation button 940.Such as, can roll between different classes of contact person to the selection of left and to the right the navigation button, the contact person of group being such as limited to particular letter scope or having been gone out by user ID.Navigate can move to comparatively going up of hierarchy and comparatively lower floor by enlivening viewing area with button up and down.Such as, current active regions can be throbber region 917.By pressing upwards arrow button, active regions can be switched to main subject matter region 910, and it indicates in the accompanying drawings " my contact person ".User can select subsequently to the left or to the right the navigation button motif area is changed into such as " my things ".Other active regions can be provided to indicate particular letter scope, user-defined group or other classifications to indicate current display.

When active regions be icon or artifact area time, user can by pressing "+" or "-" convergent-divergent soft key zoom in or out, the contact person more intimately or more becoming estranged rank can be provided on viewing area 915 when pressing these keys.In this case, user can (i) change inquiry initial point with the display or (ii) that change data object can be modified in space, time and/or social dimension from the dimensional extent of initial point with adjust which data object can be used in show.Indicated by Figure 12, the icon of outer ring or pseudomorphism can be provided to indicate the social adjacency of more becoming estranged for those contact persons represented in this circle.Inner ring contact person 1210 them can be relied on to be expressed the social adjacency that indicates more intimately closer to the central point of display or more get close to.Or the larger pseudomorphism of outer ring can indicate the social networks more intimate than inner ring.When user's pressing "-" reduces button, the visual field can be extended to the contact person comprising a new circle, wherein previous active ring is represented as less circle.Similarly, if having selected convergent-divergent the "+" button, then the visual field can amplify that inner ring is expanded to outer ring, and provides further and comprise the new inner ring that contact person more intimately or more got close to by another circle.

In another embodiment, socialgram can create via website (such as being safeguarded by social networking service device 174) and revise and can upload via the Internet 175.Such as, the access to the user account be associated with mobile communication equipment can be provided based on the service of web.This service can authenticated, and provides various account management function to user.User can use web services to create and Update Table object further, such as contact person and group.Contact person and group can be created as another name further and be placed along the socialgram provided by website.Once the social graph information that user creates or have modified on website, electric wave is downloaded and can provide information to hand-held set, thus upgrade fresh information on the handset.

When user by selecting level of zoom socialgram on the mobile apparatus navigates, user can by highlighting contact person or group selects this contact person or group.In one embodiment, by then clicking on confirming button, the people in checked social reference frame can be selected.Interface can provide the details of selected contact or group further.Such as, display can indicate title and associated person information.This display also can indicate can by user for the action selected by selected event.This type of action can comprise and such as upgrades contact details, inviting linkman or deletion event.In one embodiment, socialgram guide can be provided to promote the directly perceived of new contact person and group and create efficiently and initiate the action for them.By being in progress forward further in guide, can starting or arrange various activity, such as call, share information, initiating game etc.

Those skilled in the art will understand, and the social adjacency designator of various classification discussed above and type is exemplary, and many realizations that social adjacency can be used to measure are to reflect specific social activity or cultural context.Such as, above example comprises such as the social adjacency measurement of " friend " and " relatives " and so on.Another example measures based on the social adjacency of relation length (such as " meeting recently " or " long-term friend ").In various embodiments, can comprise can for the relevant measurement of the useful any number of specific context for the concept of social adjacency.

In one embodiment, the social adjacency measurement of " trust " can be used to carry out instantiation can for the multiple activity relevant with the mobile community of user and the useful social adjacency dimension of affairs.Trust can usually can be considered to the measurement of particular contact about the degree of belief of the affairs of the certification in usually requiring other to arrange and safety.Such as, in on-line system, untrusted client can be have good credit and for the individual of the means that pay on-line purchase or entity.In social networking context, trusted contact person can be the people that can be considered to trusted friends or kinsfolk in on-line communities, or may in on-line communities the contact person that trusts by other people.

In at least one embodiment, socialgram view can present the socialgram representing contact person and group along trust dimensionality.In other words, can indicate can many trusted contacts but not this contact person and user have many ' intimately ' (such as, although these two criterions may be correlated with certainly) for social dimension.Thus, ' distance ' along social dimension need not be only close nature based on the emotion caused due to such as family relationship but can based on trust metrics.Such as, user can have his/her very intimate but user and have the siblings that seldom trust (such as to it, if the sister of user is notorious love Eight Diagrams person, then user may like very much his/her sister but not trust very much this sister).If social dimension is configured to the trusting degree of indicating user, even if then also may become not ' intimately ' by this from the relatives that the angle of trusting relationship is intimate.As understood, the social parameter of inquiry can carry out rank and close nature or show data object based on dissimilar social activity close nature (such as trust) according to soulful social activity by this.

Contact person can comprise individual, tissue and other entities, and each in these can be associated with the level of trust of user.In one embodiment, represent that the icon of contact person or pseudomorphism can show on a mobile communications device in radial mode, wherein closer to the trusting degree that the icon instruction at center is higher.This type of expression can provide such instruction with the level of trust making user can find out contact person fast and intuitively.Level of trust can such as be indicated as " not trusted ", " only social upper trusted ", " on financial affairs trusted " etc.In one embodiment, socialgram only can provide two kinds of ranks---trusted and not trusted.In other embodiments, more how different level of trusts and type can be comprised.

In one embodiment, the level of trust of user's input can be pushed to other users in mobile community.Such as, when user inputs new contact person, this new contact person can be pushed to other members in the social networking group of this user together with the level of trust of this contact person.Or when user revises the level of trust of contact person, this change can other members of the pushed mobile community to user.Thus, once user and contact person establish level of trust, whole group or community can rely on each the user's member relation in this group or community to be provided identical level of trust by extending.Those skilled in the art will recognize that, this process provides the means for various affairs and activity certification contact person in the context of mobile community.Initial user (rely on use level of trust Tag Contact) usual according to personal knowledge and with the experience of this contact person and this contact person of certification.Other members due to the mobile community of user rely on user's member relation in mobile community usually by this initial user of trust, therefore usually will not need further certification so that this new contact person is pushed to other members as trusted contact person.As understood, the level of trust of the social networking contact person of user to other social networkings contact person of this user ' propelling movement ' corresponding between user to data object attribute ' sharing ', data object attribute itself is also data object.About can how between users sharing data objects and/or being described in more detail of data object attribute describing in more detail at hereinafter with reference Figure 22 A-22J.

Mobile device can be provided for affairs and movable various options, and these affairs and activity can be allowed in level of trust because becoming or to enable.In one embodiment, mobile Bid Mechanism can be realized, wherein for financial affairs offer and promise to undertake can exchange between the trusted contact person in social networks.Because can for the threshold level of the trusted network supposition certification of contact person, so the Bid Mechanism realized between mobile subscriber community and the trusted contact person that is associated thereof can be provided for performing the safe close network of security affairs and not have lasting user ID/mandate and the expense of security protocol.Those skilled in the art will recognize that, this mechanism can provide and wherein be difficult to realize foundation structure more efficient and/or safe compared with inherently safe on-line system.

Use this social networks of trusted contact person, various E-commerce method can be realized.As mentioned above, this framework can be used to realize electronic bidding (comprise time-based or based on the bid of price).In other embodiments, electronics object can be exchanged, wherein object encoding finance or other measure of value, such as electronic coupons or certificate.As discussed above, because the trusted contact person in mobile community has relied on the trusted state of being given by least one user by pre-authentication, so this type of electronics object valuable can be exchanged with contact person and need not carry out the mark that continues and certification.

In one embodiment, mobile communication equipment can provide other options and arrange with allows user configuration can because becoming the concrete affairs and activity that are allowed in level of trust.Generally arrange to be arranged to and depend on that the level of trust of contact person is to realize affairs.Also can provide concrete and arrange to allow such as concrete affairs only to occur for concrete Tag Contact.Such as, user can configure mobile device to allow all affairs be associated with any contact person being marked as " trusted ".Or define in the embodiment of " height trusted ", " trusted " and " not trusted " three level of trusts wherein, user can configure the financial affairs that mobile device is associated with the contact person only allowed be marked as " height trusted ".User additionally can configure mobile device to allow to be marked as the data of contact person's reception about financial activities of " trusted ", but does not receive the offer for financial affairs.Those skilled in the art will recognize that, the action that foundation structure disclosed herein realizes many level of trusts and is associated with these level of trusts in the context of given mobile community can be used.

With reference now to Figure 18, what explain orally is example process for showing user interface on a mobile communications device according to certain methods disclosed herein.Equipment can be the mobile communication equipment that the user belonging to a social networks carries, and this user can by other member contact of social networks and this social networks on wireless communication system.1800, equipment can receive and store the input from user, and this input comprises the associated person information of multiple contact person and the level of trust be associated for each contact person.This input can be provided by another system for receiving input, and wherein this system is associated (for example, such as swap server 172, social networking service device 174 etc.) with the account of mobile subscriber.This input also directly can be provided by user on the mobile apparatus.Or this input can from the memory search of equipment (if previously received).

1810, associated person information can be sent at least one member of its social networking group by equipment.Such as, when contact person is imported in mobile device with the level of trust be associated, associated person information automatically can be sent to other members of communication group by equipment.Or equipment can point out user about whether sending associated person information to other user.Level of trust can be usually non-trusted level or untrusted rank.Additional level of trust can be used in certain embodiments.

User can such as expect to transmit the responsive data object of finance, such as represents the object selling offer.User can navigate to the social adjacency screen on mobile device, and navigate to the display of one or more trusted contact persons available on equipment further, social adjacency screen corresponds to the visual representation of data object by this, and these data objects are social networking contact persons of user in this case.1820, when showing this display, equipment can determine that the level of trust be associated with each contact person is non-trusted level.In other words, assuming that user in inquiring about relevant with visual representation social parameter permit showing trusted contact person thereon, the pseudomorphism be then associated with each trusted contact person can be shown (such as, as long as this trusted contact person also meets the space and/or time parameter inquired about).User can select option sale offer being sent to each trusted contact person further.In process 1830, equipment can will represent that the message of the economic worth supplying product sold or service sends each trusted contact person to.

Receive the trusted contact person selling offer and can check this sale offer.Using the associated person information of the sender that starts as after trusted contact store is on their respective equipment, trusted contact person can recognize that this sale offer is received by a trusted contact person.Finally, in process 1840, the sender that starts can receive the message representing and accept to sell offer.Correspondingly, Fig. 8 describe can by this with the process of the electronic commerce transactions visual representation of usage data object (such as contact person) explicitly.

In another embodiment, location drawing view can present the location drawing of representation space figure, and wherein user is in center, and contact person and group are positioned at outside user.Contact person and group can be represented by be positioned at their approximation space or the icon in geographic position or pseudomorphism on the location drawing.In other words, the pseudomorphism be associated with each data object (such as contact person, activity etc.) can be displayed on the position location drawing corresponding to their associated location, and wherein the distance of their decentering (such as customer location) corresponds to the degree of correlation with customer location (space origins in the example present for inquiring about).In one example, the viewable regions of the location drawing may correspond to the border in spatial parameter along Spatial Dimension, to make to check that the data object outside scope is not displayed on the location drawing.

Figure 15 A to 15C has explained orally the example of the visual representation of the certain data objects collection according to various embodiments of the present invention.Each accompanying drawing in Figure 15 A to 15C has explained orally has the visual representation that difference ' dominates ' dimension among space, social activity and time dimension.Specifically, Figure 15 A has explained orally the visual representation of the set of data objects that social dimension is taken as the leading factor, and Figure 15 B has explained orally the visual representation of the set of data objects that Spatial Dimension is taken as the leading factor, and Figure 15 C has explained orally the visual representation of the set of data objects that time dimension is taken as the leading factor.

With reference to figure 15A, current ' convergent-divergent ' of convergent-divergent designator 1500A, 1505A and 1510A pointer to set of data objects shows 1545A.Specifically, the pyramidal filling rank of convergent-divergent designator 1500A, 1505A and 1510A mode that indicates this set of data objects to be filtered in time, space and social dimension respectively.Such as, full up pyramid instruction is full reduced puts, thus the time of relative narrower, space or social networks will be met the demands to show in display 1545A, and empty pyramid means that specific dimension ' is reduced ', thus any value of this dimension will be met show requirement.Similarly, the instruction of the rank between two parties intermediate zoom rank of ' filling '.Correspondingly, although display 1545A basically illustrates the social networks of shown data object, will be appreciated that any data object shown in display 1545A also meets the time and/or space requirement corresponded to as the level of zoom indicated by pyramidal filling.Correspondingly, if time-scaling requires the period corresponding to ' a nearest week ' to be shown, and space convergent-divergent requires that the current city of user is shown, then the social connections people be out of town last week will not be shown, regardless of the relation of this contact person and this user.

Still with reference to figure 15A, degree designator 1515A, 1520A and 1525A instruction show have for the degree of relationship of social dimension in display 1545A how different, to make to show data object intimate in social activity in the inner ring of display 1545A, display 1545A centre circle in show data object close in social activity, and display 1545A outer ring in show in social activity away from data object.Data object type designator 1530A, 1535A and 1540A designated user can select the data object showing which type, and wherein Figure 15 A illustrates that people, position and/or things are as the available data objects that can show in display 1545A.In Figure 15 A, can suppose that user have selected people (i.e. the social networking contact person of user) as the set of data objects that will be shown, user have selected social dimension as leading, and user selects only to show close relationship via degree designator 1515A.

Correspondingly, in the example present, four quadrants corresponding to ' work ', ' friend ', ' household ' and ' other ' that 1545A illustrates contact person are shown.Because user has indicated only show close relationship, and intimate data object is displayed on inner ring, so illustrate only the contact person in the inner ring of user in display 1545A.Particularly, an intimate working relation people and an intimate home contact have been shown in display 1545A, wherein each contact person be shown with different pictures or pseudomorphism (such as, have and affect them in the different perceptual property showing the high-lighting in 1545A, such as size etc.) represent.To understand from the display 1545A shown in Figure 15 A, user can navigate to the difference display criterion in leading social dimension (i.e. ' socialgram '), or leading dimension can be switched to space or time dimension.

With reference to figure 15B, current ' convergent-divergent ' of the display 1545B of the set of data objects that convergent-divergent designator 1500B, 1505B and 1510B indicate Spatial Dimension collection to take as the leading factor.Specifically, as in Figure 15 A, the mode that the pyramidal filling rank of convergent-divergent designator 1500B, 1505B and 1510B indicates this set of data objects to be filtered in time, space and social dimension respectively.

Still with reference to figure 15B, degree designator 1515B, 1520B and 1525B instruction show have for the degree of relationship of Spatial Dimension in display 1545B how different, to make to be presented at spatially data object closely in the inner ring of display 1545B, display 1545B centre circle in be presented at spatially close data object, and display 1545B outer ring in be presented at spatially away from data object.Data object type designator 1530B, 1535B and 1540B designated user can select the data object showing which type, and wherein Figure 15 B illustrates that people, position and/or things are as the available data objects that can show in display 1545B.In Figure 15 B, can suppose that user have selected each in people, position and things as the set of data objects that will show, user have selected Spatial Dimension and has taken as the leading factor, and user selects only to show close relation for ' things ' data object via degree designator, only show near relation for ' people ' data object, and only show away from relation for ' place ' data object.

Correspondingly, in the example present, display 1545B shows four the position quadrants corresponding to northeast (NE), northwest (NW), the southeast (SE) and southwestern (SW) relative to initial point (position corresponding to user inputs together with inquiry (for example, the current location of such as user, user are just going to position etc.)).That display 1545B covers is streetscape figure, with the position making user can understand the data object shown better wherein.Because user has only indicated, show needle is to the close relation of ' things ' data object, and closely data object shows in inner ring, so illustrated any ' things ' closely spatially data object in user's inner ring of display 1545B.In addition, because user has indicated only show needle to the close relation of ' people ' data object, and to show in centre circle near data object, so illustrated any spatially close ' people ' data object in user's centre circle of display 1545B.In addition because user indicated only show needle to ' place ' data object away from relation, and away from data object show in outer ring, so to illustrate in the user outer ring of display 1545B any spatially away from ' place ' data object.

Particularly, in Figure 15 B, ' things ' data object closely shown in the inner ring of display 1545B, close ' people ' data object shown in display 1545B, and shown in display 1545B one away from ' place ' data object.In addition, display each data object shown in 1545B different pictures or pseudomorphism (such as, have and affect them in the different perceptual property showing the high-lighting in 1545B, such as size etc.) represents.To understand from the display 1545B shown in Figure 15 B, user can navigate to the difference display criterion in leading Spatial Dimension (i.e. ' location drawing '), or leading dimension can be switched to social activity or time dimension.

With reference to figure 15C, current ' convergent-divergent ' of the display 1545C of the set of data objects that convergent-divergent designator 1500C, 1505C and 1510C dimension instruction time collection is taken as the leading factor.Specifically, as in Figure 15 A and 15B, the mode that the pyramidal filling rank of convergent-divergent designator 1500C, 1505C and 1510C indicates this set of data objects to be filtered in time, space and social dimension respectively.

Still with reference to figure 15C, degree designator 1515C, 1520C and 1525C instruction show have for the degree of relationship of time dimension in display 1545C how different, to make in time closely, data object is (such as, tight in the past, current, or in the future tight etc.) be displayed in the inner ring of display 1545C, data object close in time (such as, close in the past, in the future near etc.) be displayed in the centre circle of display 1545C, and in time away from data object (such as, in the past away from, in the future away from etc.) be displayed in the outer ring of display 1545C.Data object type designator 1530C, 1535C and 1540C designated user can select the data object showing which type, and wherein Figure 15 C illustrates that people, position and/or things are as the available data objects that can show in display 1545C.In figure 15 c, can suppose that user have selected people as the set of data objects that will show, user have selected time dimension and has taken as the leading factor, and user selects only to show away from relation for ' people ' data object.

Correspondingly, in the example present, display 1545C shows four time quadrants relative to initial point (corresponding to the time (such as current time) of user together with inquiry input).In one example, four quadrants can represent the different time part having given radiation length from initial point.Such as, each quadrant can represent season (such as, spring, summer, Qiu Hedong), and be may correspond in year from the display initial point of 1545C or the distance at center.Or, each quadrant can represent what day (such as, Monday/Tu., Wednesday/week the fourth class) and to may correspond in number of weeks (such as 1,2,3 etc.) from the distance of initial point.Because user indicated only show needle to ' people ' data object away from relation, and to show in outer ring away from data object, thus illustrate in the user outer ring of display 1545C any in time away from ' people ' data object.In one example, the social networking contact person of ' people ' data object or user can have with user away from time relationship (if this contact person in for a long time not with telex network (such as, this contact person a lot of years etc. in the dust) or to be expected at for a long time can communication disruption (such as, this contact person goes to Mars to perform 5 years task dispatchings)).

Particularly, in Figure 15 B, display 1545C outer ring shown in one away from ' people ' data object.To understand from the display 1545C shown in Figure 15 C, user can navigate to the difference display criterion in leading time dimension (i.e. ' time diagram ' or ' timeline '), or leading dimension can be switched to social activity or Spatial Dimension.

With reference now to Figure 16, what explain orally is the example process of visual representation for showing data object according to an embodiment of the invention on a mobile communications device.1600, equipment can receive input (such as, with inquiry that is social, Time and place parameter) from user to control to be shown to user the mode of given data object set (such as, also can indicate in queries).As discussed above, input can be provided by another system for receiving input, and wherein this system is associated with the account of mobile subscriber.This input also directly can be provided by user on the mobile apparatus.Or this input can from the memory search of equipment (if being previously received).In one example, the input from user may correspond in the inquiry relevant with the visual representation of one or more data object, and wherein this inquiry comprises impact and will show the space of which data object, social activity and time parameter in visual representation.This inquiry can comprise initial point further, the attribute of data object can contrast initial point and make comparisons to determine whether to show this data object, and inquiry can comprise the instruction (such as, to obtain the visual representation shown in Figure 15 A, Figure 15 B or Figure 15 C) which dimension will become to take as the leading factor further.1610, first dimension (such as, as in figure 15 c, wherein time dimension is taken as the leading factor) of the time representation that the input received is provided can be shown.Such as, 1610, equipment can determine which data object meets the time parameter of inquiry (such as, if time parameter indicating user is interested in the data object in next week from current time, is then excluded at the data object of this time frame outside and does not consider).

1620, second dimension (such as, as in Figure 15 B, wherein Spatial Dimension is taken as the leading factor) of the space representation that the input received is provided can be shown.Such as, 1620, equipment can determine which data object meets the spatial parameter of inquiry (such as, if spatial parameter indicating user is interested in the data object in two from his/her current location mile, is then excluded at the data object of this position range outside and does not consider).In another example, equipment only needs to consider the position of data object during the time range be associated with time parameter (such as, if spatial parameter corresponds to San Francisco and time parameter corresponds to current time, then the data object occurring in the event in San Francisco after a year in the future will not be shown).

1630, the third dimension (such as, as in Figure 15 A, wherein social dimension is taken as the leading factor) providing the social adjacency of the input received to represent can be shown.Such as, 1630, equipment can determine which data object meets the social parameter of inquiry (such as, if the data object of social parameter indicating user to event (user is interested in this event based on the social networking contact person in user profiles and/or user contact lists) is interested, then the data object not meeting these conditions is excluded and will not shows).As understood, once show each dimension in 1610 to 1630, the gained visual representation showing one or more data object just can be displayed to user's (such as, as the location drawing, activity diagram etc. of the pseudomorphism for representing data object had shown in display).Although 1610,1620 and 1630 illustrate the leading dimension selecting each type in order, but will understand, the first dimension collection of user alternatively for leading is satisfied, need not navigate to other leading dimensions (as in 1620 and/or 1630) to make user.

In process 1640, mobile communication equipment can receive the instruction of the selected dimension of user's desired modifications visual representation.Such as, if user's desired modifications is from the scope of the shown dimension of initial query or degree, then user selects the dimension that will revise in 1640.

Such as, assuming that the first soft key is designated as selected or enliven in axle " amplification " function of carrying out navigating, and the second soft key is designated as " reducing " function.By configuration soft key, user can mitigation and amplification, this can cause upgrading shown by reference frame in the corresponding number of people.In this case, the instruction received in 1640 may correspond to the selection zoomed in or out space, one of time or social dimension in user.Such as, if visual representation is the form of the location drawing, then, when soft key is reduced in user's pressing, the visual field can be extended to and comprise the wider visual field, to make to illustrate more multiposition and then show may more data object.Similarly, if select convergent-divergent "+" soft key, then the visual field can amplify to expand active view, and this can get rid of the data object be no longer in the position range of visual representation.Receive will after the instruction of one of the dimension revising visual representation, in 1650, revise visual representation (such as, to be converted to another leading dimension, to revise parameter with the parameter etc. of satisfied inquiry).

With reference now to Figure 17, what explain orally is example process for showing user interface on a mobile communications device according to certain methods disclosed herein.1700, equipment can receive from the input of user about data object, and data object corresponds to scheduled events in this embodiment.As discussed above, input can be provided by another system for receiving input, and wherein this system is associated with the account of mobile subscriber.This input also directly can be provided by user on the mobile apparatus.Or this input can from the memory search of equipment (if being previously received).1710, carry out Showplan event because becoming in the position of event.As discussed above, other data objects and expression can be indicated by opsition dependent.Or, designation data object can be carried out according to other disclosed qualities, such as social adjacency and time gap.Such as, positional representation can comprise the instruction on the location drawing.In each embodiment above-disclosed, positional representation can comprise the event be positioned on X-Y scheme.

1720, the navigation key of two dimensional navigation can be configured for.As disclosed above, upper and lower, left and right key on mobile communication equipment can be used for such navigation.1730, the first button can be configured for and amplify in display (such as, this corresponds to and when visual representation corresponds to the location drawing, Spatial Dimension is narrowed, and when visual representation corresponds to socialgram, social dimension is narrowed).1740, the second button is configured for and reduces in display.By being configured for the button of convergent-divergent, user can mitigation and amplification, this can cause upgrading shown by reference frame in the corresponding number of data object (such as event).When button is reduced in user's pressing, the visual field can be extended to and comprise the wider visual field (such as, this corresponds to the extending space dimension when visual representation corresponds to the location drawing, expands social dimension etc. when visual representation corresponds to socialgram).Similarly, if having selected large buttons, then the visual field can amplify to expand active view.1750, new events can be generated to promote the establishment directly perceived to New activity and event by display new events guide.This class wizard can be provided for the mechanism selecting people/contact person, place/position, data or media entities/things and time value.1760, this guide can point out user to input.By various menu and prompting, user such as can select the people in contacts list, chosen position and select to indicate the time value of " now " selected relative to " after a while ".

With reference to Figure 19, what explain orally is the exemplary display describing one embodiment of the invention.Particularly, Figure 19 explains orally the modification of mediate a settlement about Figure 15 A institute solution user interface that describes and display above, and wherein visual representation corresponds to socialgram.Display 1900 depicts and arranges function, and wherein user can select the various filtrators for checking, inputting and/or edit.In the example present, user have selected " household " 1910, as by highlight region described.When pressing " input " or " confirmation " button, display 1920 can be instantiated, each contact person that classification that this further illustrates " household " comprises.In addition, radio button 1925 can indicate the current social adjacency of the contact person for listing in " household " filtrator to arrange.User can highlight particular contact, such as, by " al " 1930 highlighting region and describe.User can revise social adjacency and arrange, and is illustrated as " intimately ", " close " and " becoming estranged " in the example present.

In other words, in the embodiment of Figure 19, display 1900 illustrates the social parameter that user inquires about, and the data object with user by this with a relationship meets the social parameter of this inquiry.The data object corresponding to the social networking contact person of user is in the example present explained orally at display 1920 place.Specifically, the data object that display 1920 shows the social parameter meeting subscriber household member, and further illustrate social networks degree in subscriber household (such as, in the example present for intimate, near and become estranged).

User can select when completing editor " completing ", and now showing 1940 can be instantiated, thus describes the contact person in " household " filtrator.Display 1940 depicts the contact person placed along concentric turns 1950 in " household " filtrator that their respective social adjacency of instruction arranges.Minimum circle comprises contact person " greg ", and it arranges with " becoming estranged " social adjacency and is associated.Medium sized circle comprises contact person " carl " and " heather ", and it arranges with " close " social adjacency and is associated.Great circle comprises contact person " al " and " evan ", and it arranges with " intimately " social adjacency and is associated.As can be seen, the social adjacency setting that the circle instruction increased gradually is more intimate, and the social adjacency that the circle instruction reduced gradually is more become estranged is arranged.In one embodiment, user can be arranged to indicate the social adjacency of more becoming estranged with the circle describing to increase gradually by the shaping Zoom display of config set, and the social adjacency that the circle that configuration reduces gradually is more become estranged with instruction is arranged.

In other words, display 1940 corresponds to socialgram, based on the distance with display centre, the social adjacency of each subscriber household member is shown 1950 by this, wherein display centre corresponds to the social initial point (such as, social initial point in this case corresponds to user's himself/herself or particular group) of inquiry.

Turn to Figure 20 now, what explain orally is the exemplary display describing another embodiment of the present invention.Particularly, Figure 20 explains orally the modification of mediate a settlement about Figure 15 A institute solution user interface that describes and display above, and wherein visual representation corresponds to based on the socialgram of user for the level of trust of his/her social connections people.Display 2000 depicts and arranges function, and wherein user can select the various filtrators for checking, inputting and/or edit.In the example present, user have selected " trusted " 2010, as by highlight region described.When pressing " input " or " confirmation " button, display 2020 can be instantiated, each contact person that classification that this further illustrates " trusted " comprises.In addition, radio button 2025 can indicate the current social adjacency of the contact person for listing in " trusted " filtrator to arrange.User can highlight particular contact, such as, by " al " 2030 highlighting region and describe.User can revise social adjacency and arrange, and is illustrated as " intimately ", " close " and " becoming estranged " in the example present.

In other words, in the embodiment of Figure 20, display 2000 illustrates the social parameter that user inquires about, and the data object (such as contact person) with user by this with trusted relationship meets the social parameter of this inquiry.The data object corresponding to the social networking contact person of user is in the example present explained orally at display 2020 place.Specifically, the data object that display 2020 shows the social parameter of the trusted contact person meeting user, and further illustrate trusting degree in the trusted contact person of user (such as, in the example present for intimate, near and become estranged).

User can select when completing editor " completing ", and now showing 2040 can be instantiated, thus describes the contact person in " trusted " filtrator.Display 2040 depicts the contact person placed along concentric turns 2050 in " trusted " filtrator that their respective social adjacency of instruction arranges.Minimum circle comprises contact person " evan ", and it arranges with " becoming estranged " social adjacency and is associated.Medium sized circle comprises contact person " al " and " greg ", and it arranges with " close " social adjacency and is associated.Great circle comprises contact person " carl ", and it arranges with " intimately " social adjacency and is associated.Arrange because contact person " heather " is not assigned to trust, therefore in display 2040, do not describe the icon be associated, this shows, the social adjacency setting that the circle instruction increased gradually is more intimate, and the social adjacency that the circle instruction reduced gradually is more become estranged is arranged.In one embodiment, user can be arranged to indicate the social adjacency of more becoming estranged with the circle describing to increase gradually by the shaping Zoom display of config set, and the social adjacency society that the circle that configuration reduces gradually is more become estranged with instruction provides.

In other words, display 2040 corresponds to socialgram, based on the distance with display centre, the social adjacency of each user's trusted member is shown 2050 by this, wherein display centre corresponds to the social initial point (such as, social initial point in this case corresponds to user's himself/herself or particular group) of inquiry.

Can also see, data object (such as contact person) can have the multiple social adjacency be associated with various " filtrator " or classification and arrange.Such as, in Figure 19 and 20, contact person " al " to arrange with " close " about " trust " filtrator and is associated, and to arrange with " intimately " about " household " filtrator and be associated.Distinguish the activity that the ability about the social adjacency setting of different context (such as " household " and " trusts ") can make user closer can be similar to the actual relationship in real world and be associated.Such as, user may distrust kinsfolk in financial affairs, but may preference be associated with this kinsfolk in doings.Method of the present disclosure can make user can describe these nuances in each relation and activity on the mobile apparatus so that provide the relation in closer approximate real world and movable abundanter Consumer's Experience.

Figure 21 has explained orally can to the process belonging to one or more data objects of set of data objects of user's display according to one embodiment of the invention.With reference to Figure 21, receive and comprise the inquiry of the instruction relevant with user to the social parameter of the expectation visual representation of set of data objects, time parameter and spatial parameter, 2100.In one example, this inquiry can receive at the mobile communication equipment place of the user belonging to this inquiry of starting.In one example, as about above embodiment discussed, data object may correspond in event, activity, social networking contact person, multimedia file and/or in space, social activity and the information of any other type classifiable in the time.

Such as, inquiry can designated space, initial point in time and social dimension.In a concrete example, social initial point can be identity or the subscriber profiles of user, and space origins can be the position of user, and the time that timeorigin can be user specifies or time range.Or one or more in the space of initial point, time and social dimension can be different because of group and unprovoked user and different, with make control group attribute but not individual consumer's attribute to compare data object.Space origins and timeorigin usually will together be considered, with make the space origins of user by considered to be in timeorigin time or in the time range of timeorigin.Such as, assuming that user is about his/her, which colleague to come to work curiosity Tu., then the social parameter of inquiring about can be " my colleague ", and the time parameter of inquiry can be " Tu. ", and the spatial parameter of inquiry can be " my work address ".

Then, the degree of correlation of each that the social activity determining to inquire about, Time and place parameter are concentrated with data object respectively in social, Time and place dimension, 2105.Such as, because inquiry social parameter with " my colleague " about (it is the social networking contact person specified), so the communication facilities of user can contact social networking service device 174 and obtain user colleague's list and can ask work together calendar to check the arrangement on Tu..In this case, assuming that inquiring about is binary, be displayed to user to make the contact person of only perfect match inquiry.Thus, if colleagues did not preengage on Tu., then equipment can suppose that such as these colleagues will be shown to user in office by these colleagues, and the colleague that office is left in arrangement can not be shown.

Then, communication facilities shows the visual representation at least partially of set of data objects to user based on the whether satisfied parameters inquired about of degree of correlation determined in social dimension, time dimension and Spatial Dimension, and 2110.From in example above, this means to be confirmed as Tu. colleague in an office and be displayed to user.Visual representation can take the form of socialgram, activity diagram and/or the location drawing (such as centered by office around), only expects that Tu., colleague was in an office shown in each situation.

Although not shown in Figure 21, but the visual representation from 2110 can be converted to another sky (such as along time shaft or dimension) in this week by user, user can make the visual representation from 2110 narrow to form and some colleague is only shown (such as, amplify along social axle or dimension), visual representation from 2110 can be extended to and illustrate in this week by any colleague in an office (such as by user, reduce along time shaft or dimension), user the visual representation from 2110 can be extended to illustrate Tu. by any colleague of any one in multiple office location (such as, reduce along spatial axes or dimension), by that analogy.

Although describe the social colleague of parameter designated user and Figure 21 of spatial parameter designated office that inquire about by this, in another example, social parameter can designated user friend and spatial parameter can specify town.In addition, although described data object by this to correspond to Figure 21 of social networking contact person, by comprehensible, the general teaching of Figure 21 can be used for the data object of any type by other embodiments, such as event, activity, multimedia file etc.

Although each attribute (such as position, time and/or social networks) of data object is described as above ' static ', it is identical for maintaining the social networks identical with other data objects and the position of data-oriented object at special time to make data-oriented object, but will understand, other embodiments can relate to dynamically update in these data object attributes one or more.Such as, if user becomes the more best of friends of an acquaintance, then user can by he/her with represent that the social networks of data object of this acquaintance convert more intimate social activity to and arrange (such as, will representing that the pseudomorphism of this acquaintance is dragged to ' intimately ' position from ' close ' or ' becoming estranged ' position for example by the socialgram of Figure 15 A).Similarly, user may be informed the event that his/her contact person can not participate in this contact person and received an invitation face to face, and this contact person can be attended to remove time of this event or socialgram from this contact person of instruction.When data object attribute changes, this data object can adopt the privilege of its new attribute and/or license (notice such as, about data object can reach the high-lighting etc. higher or less for user).

Although the above embodiment of the present invention relate generally to is at the equipment operated by specific user and visually represents set of data objects, other embodiments can relate to exchange data objects between users.Correspondingly, Figure 22 A-22J relate to the angle of the sender from data object this type of exchange, and Figure 23 relates to and exchanging from the data object of the angle of the recipient of data object or target.

With reference to figure 22A, assuming that given user determines to send one or more data object, 2200A at least one other user.Correspondingly, given user specifies will to its transmission at least one target data objects as the data object of the annex of message, 2205A.In one example, each target data objects corresponds to the social networking contact person of user usually.

Then, the process of possible iteration starts, by this given user browse its available data objects and select will to this at least one target data objects send data object, 2210A.After selection data object, given user request adds selected data object to assembly area, this assembly area correspond to for this at least one target data objects just by the message created.At 2220A, given user determines whether to add another data object to assembly area.If determine to add another data object to assembly area the given user of 2220A, then this process is back to 2210A and given user browses to find another data object.Otherwise, if determine not add another data object to assembly area the given user of 2220A, each data object then adding assembly area to is affixed to message, 2225A, and then the message with any attachment data object is sent to this at least one target data objects, 2230A by the equipment of given user operation.

Figure 22 B to 22J has explained orally the example of the process of Figure 22 A with visual manner.With reference to figure 22B, assuming that given user has determined one or more data object to be sent to one of his/her social networking contact person (2200A), and at least one object contact person (2205A) of receipt message is wanted in the list browsing its ' people ' data object by this with appointment.Figure 22 B has explained orally and has explained orally with one of ' people ' data object of the given user like Figure 15 category-A with socialgram visual representation.In Figure 22 C, assuming that given user selects the data object of friend " Rick " corresponding to given user, be wherein shown as to highlight by the pseudomorphism of Rick on socialgram in Figure 22 C to the selection of Rick and indicate.Upon selection, by certain other user input (for example, such as double-click, press another button etc.), given user indicates Rick should be added to the target of assembly area as the message by comprising at least one data object annex.As understood, ' people ' data object corresponding to " Rick " is in this case the target of message, but itself need not be affixed to message except intended target.The assembly area explained orally in Figure 23 C has usually explained orally all information being sent to target in the message, except being added to each message to the mark of sender and not explaining orally in assembly area for this reason.Thus, after Figure 22 D, generate null message from given user to Rick (namely not yet additional data objects), can fill this null message with data object annex now.Correspondingly, in the example present, Figure 22 B to 22D corresponds to the 2205A of Figure 22 A.

With reference to figure 22E, given user then browses ' picture ' data object, and in Figure 22 F, given user's instruction is to the selection of ' picture ' data object corresponding to artwork.jpf image file, and this data object is then added to assembly area in Figure 22 G.Can respectively according to performing about the similar fashion described by Figure 22 C and 22D above to selected data object being added in the selection of data object and Figure 22 G to assembly area in Figure 22 F, except the data object being attached to assembly area in Figure 22 F and 22G is not added to message as target, but on the contrary as the annex of message.Thus, in the example present, Figure 22 E to 22G corresponds to 2220A to the 2220A of Figure 22 A.

Then, with reference to figure 22H, given user then browses ' place ' data object, and in Figure 22 I, given user's instruction is to the selection of ' place ' data object corresponding to forest (forest) position, and this data object is then added to assembly area in Figure 22 J.In Figure 22 I in the selection of data object and Figure 22 J, selected data object is added to assembly area can respectively according to perform about the similar fashion described by Figure 22 F and 22G above.Thus, in the example present, Figure 22 H to 22J corresponds to another iteration of 2210A to the 2220A of Figure 22 A.

Herein, in Figure 22 G, assembly area comprises target data objects " Rick " and data object annex " artwork.jpg " and forest (forest).Data object annex can be attached to message and message be sent to data object " Rick ", 2225A and 2230A by instruction to the selection of the transmission button explained orally in assembly area by given user subsequently.Or, the text that first given user can add attached data object describes to promote why data object being sent to the context understanding of Rick (such as, " this picture of ' artwork ' to ' forest (forest) ' is taken " etc.).

Then, Figure 23 has explained orally the example how message that comprises one or more data object annex is received at target data objects place and checks.With reference to Figure 23, receive the message comprising data object annex, 2300 by the equipment of given user operation at the equipment (such as, social networking service device 174, mobile device etc.) by given user operation.

Receive message in 2305 when, show based on the attribute transmitting data object the notice receiving message at least in part by the equipment of user operation.Such as, if the user of receipt message is Rick, and the sender of message is Jane, and Rick and Jane marries, then the message of 2300 can be shown as important, even if Rick is not interested to wherein comprised real data object.Thus, the attribute of sender can affect to have how to show message informing highlightedly, even if this message itself (when checking further) is not extremely important for recipient.

Effect-based operation notifies, the targeted customer of message determines whether will check this message, 2310.If targeted customer determines not check this message, then the procedure ends of Figure 23.Otherwise, if targeted customer determines to check this message, then extract the data object annex of this message, 2315, and show each data object extracted based on the attribute of extracted data object to targeted customer at least in part.

Such as, if the sender of message is unessential, then the message informing of 2305 can not indicate to targeted customer highlightedly at first in 2305.But, if message itself is very important (such as, the friend become estranged sends the party invitation etc. that targeted customer thirsts for attending), then in 2320, show this message when extracting more highlightedly.

In another example, important message also can affect how in 2305, to show message informing, can cause outstanding notice, even if the sender of this message is unessential for targeted customer to make important messages.Similarly, show as unessential extracted data object can rely on and send and to be shown as from the very important contact person of user giving prominence to (such as, the company CEO of targeted customer, targeted customer admire fondly object etc.).Thus, at least one example, message informing can be shown by the high-lighting of the severity level at least indicating sender, if this message particular importance exists the possibility to the more outstanding display of message simultaneously.Similarly, the data object extracted in 2315 shows with at least indicating the high-lighting of the severity level of the data object extracted, if sender's particular importance of message exists the possibility to the more outstanding display of data object simultaneously.

Figure 24 relates to and between client device, exchanges process in field information according to one embodiment of the invention via sex service device 2400 on the scene.In one example, sex service device 2400 on the scene can be connected to the Internet 175 (being similar to swap server 172 or social networking service device 174) in Fig. 2.Usually, online or the off-line state information of the availability of collecting about the user of the interactive mode that will participate in being supported by the client device of those users, real-time communication service is responsible for by sex service device on the scene 2400, and by this online or off-line state distribution of information to the client device by other user operations.

With reference to Figure 24,2405, assuming that user 1 off-line at client device 1 place determined by sex service device 2400 on the scene, this means user 1 be not expected at client device 1 support communication service collection (such as text messaging, audio call (such as, Circuit-switched audio call, Skype or voip call), video call etc.) on be accessible.Such as, client device 1 may be closed or be in offline mode, thus causes sex service device 2400 on the scene to be associated as by client device 1 2405 having off-line state.Sex service device 2400 on the scene is to target client device notice client device 1 off-line (and other target client device of possibility also off-line), 2410, and target client device performs processing capacity, 2415 based on off-line property on the scene pair at least one data object be associated with the user 1 of client device 1 of client device 1.As will hereinafter be described in more detail, a processing capacity that can perform at 2415 places is that user 1 is got rid of (or de-emphasizing) from contact person's page, initiates and the interactive mode of user 1, real-time Communication for Power session to make the user not encouraging target client device.Certainly, if user 1 is operating be registered as online other client devices one or more by sex service device 2400 on the scene, then those other client devices of user 1 still can appear on contact person's page.

With reference to Figure 24, at time point after a while, client device 1 optionally determines that the current expection of user 1 of client device 1 can for the first set carrying out mutual communication service thereon, and client device 2 optionally determines that the current expection of user 1 of client device 1 can not be gathered for carry out mutual communication service second thereon, 2425.Second set of communication service need not ensure it is disabled (although this is possible).On the contrary, at least one embodiment, the second set of communication service to gather with first of communication service compared with can be the association mechanism not being subject to preference or lower priority for the user 1 in contact client device 1 simply.Hereinafter with reference Figure 25 A-25E describes and obtains the optional example determining the scene of 2420 and/or 2425.

2430, can be used for carrying out alternately in real-time Communication for Power session via at least one communication service and client device 1 notifies its availability to sex service device 2400 on the scene by this assuming that client device 1 determines that user expects.In one example, the notice of 2430 can comprise the instruction of first and/or second set (user 1 of client device 1 is expected for its available (the first set) or unavailable (the second set)) of communication service, or can simply corresponding to signing in the client device 1 of sex service device 2400 on the scene to indicate its availability (and not quoting concrete communication service) by hint.

Sex service device 2400 reception notification on the scene, and determine that user 1 can be related at client device 1 place via this at least one communication service, and the on the scene sexual state of user 1 at client device 1 place converts to online from off-line by sex service device 2400 on the scene by this, 2435.Sex service device 2400 on the scene notifies client device 1 online (and other target client device of possibility are also online) to target client device, 2440.In one example, the notice of 2440 can comprise the instruction of second set (user 1 cannot (or not preference) contacted for it on client device 1) of the instruction of the first set (user 1 can (or preference) contacted for it on client device 1) of communication service and/or communication service further.Target client device then can based on the property online on the scene of client device 1 (and possibly, more specifically based on the availability that the expection on client device 1 is different because of communication service) another processing capacity is performed, 2445 to this at least one data object be associated with the user 1 of client device 1.As will hereinafter be described in more detail, a processing capacity that can perform 2445 is that second of the communication service of user 1 the set is got rid of (or only de-emphasizing) from contact person's page, to make not encourage the user of target client device to initiate the interactive mode with user 1 by the second set of communication service, real-time Communication for Power session, also comprise (or even emphasizing) first set from the communication service of the user 1 of contact person's page simultaneously, to make to encourage the user of target client device to initiate the interactive mode with user 1 by the first set of communication service, real-time Communication for Power session.

Figure 25 A-25E provides the example using situation, this use situation can point out client device 1 to determine voice call communication service (such as, Circuit-switched audio call, VoIP audio call, comprise the conference call etc. of voice) and the expection availability of text transceive communications service (such as, simple message service (SMS), Facebook chat, twitter etc.).As understood, the communication service of the other types except text and voice be also available (such as, the multimedia information service etc. of swap image or video), and Figure 25 A-25E is not intended to the communication service option at any one place in client device described below to be only limitted to voice and text service.

With reference to figure 25A, the user 1 of client device 1 sees a film at 2500A place just at the cinema.Correspondingly, although user 1 most probable is not wanted to be disturbed during film, compared with the voice communication of any type, user 1 more may come and other user interactions via text messaging far away.For this reason, user 1 is online in the property on the scene at client device 1 place, wherein user 1 expect can for carry out via text messaging to a certain degree alternately and do not expect can for carrying out via voice communication alternately.Thus, once client device 1 determines that its user 1 sees a film (such as in 2500A place just at the cinema, via user's input, via the location tracking inputted independent of user, have purchased film ticket and the combination etc. that be in the location tracking of cinema 2500A actual in user 1 based on user 1), client device 1 just text messaging can be assigned to the first set (2420 of Figure 24) of communication service and speech message can be received and dispatched second set (2425 of Figure 24) that be assigned to communication service by client device 1.

With reference to figure 25B, the user 2 of client device 2 is driving a car 2500B.Correspondingly, compared with the textcommunication of any type, what user 1 possibility was much bigger is come via speech message transmitting-receiving and other user interactions (it may be illegal in fact carrying out textcommunication some local operating motor vehicles while).For this reason, user 2 is online in the property on the scene at client device 2 place, wherein user 2 expect can for carry out via speech message transmitting-receiving to a certain degree alternately and do not expect can for carrying out via textcommunication alternately.Thus, once client device 2 determines that its user 2 is driving a car 2500B (such as, via user's input, via the location tracking etc. input independent of user), speech message transmitting-receiving just can be assigned to first of communication service and gather (2420 of Figure 24) and client device 2 and text messaging can be assigned to second of communication service and gather (2425 of Figure 24) by client device 2.

With reference to figure 25C, the user 3 of client device 3 takes a flight, and wherein client device 3 is configured to offline mode (forbidding all radio communication service).For this reason, user 3 is off-line (in as 2405 of Figure 24) in the property on the scene at client device 3 place, and wherein user 3 does not expect and can carry out alternately for the radio communication via any type.

With reference to figure 25D, the user 4 of client device 4 sleep at home (or be at least expected sleep).Correspondingly, although user 4 most probable is not wanted be disturbed in bed, except urgency communication.For this reason, user 4 is online in the property on the scene at client device 4 place, and wherein user 4 is not useable for carrying out alternately via the non-emergency communications of any type.Thus, once client device 4 determines that its user 4 sleeps (such as input via user, indicate client device 4 to be positioned at the positional information etc. in the bedroom of user 4 during normal sleep times), text and speech message transmitting-receiving just all can be assigned to the second set (2425 of Figure 24) of communication service by client device 4.

With reference to figure 25E, the user 5 of client device 5 is positioned at work place during normal working hours.Correspondingly, user 5 is online in the property on the scene of client device 5, wherein user 2 expect can be mutual for what carry out to a certain degree via text or speech message transmitting-receiving.Thus, text and speech message transmitting-receiving all can be assigned to the first set (2420 of Figure 24) of communication service by client device 5.

Figure 26 has explained orally the process that can process the one or more data objects belonging to set of data objects according to one embodiment of the invention.Figure 26 is similar to Figure 21 in some respects, except Figure 26 is further about taking into account (such as by the sexual state on the scene of these contact persons when how to process the data object be associated with the contact person of given user, by this this process can comprise by different way or different high-lighting degree to the one or more communication services showing this contact person or be associated with this one or more contact person, get rid of from display and one or more contact person or one or more communication services etc. of being associated with this one or more contact person).

With reference to Figure 26, receive inquiry, this inquiry comprises social parameter, time parameter and the spatial parameter relevant with user, the instruction of these parameters will to expression potential user group (such as, such as with reference to figure 25A-25E describe targeted customer 1-5) set of data objects perform expectation processing capacity, 2600.In one example, this inquiry can receive at client device (such as mobile communication equipment) place of the user belonging to this inquiry of starting.In an embodiment of Figure 26, as about above embodiment discussed, data object may correspond in event, activity, social networking contact person, multimedia file and/or can classify in space, social activity and time and the information of any other relevant with potential user group further type.Exemplarily (describe in more detail hereinafter with reference to Figure 27), the relation between data object and potential user group can be that each data object represents for initiating the trigger with the communication session of the given targeted customer from potential user group.In one more specifically example, one or more in these data objects can represent for initiating and the trigger from the communication session of the given targeted customer of potential user group via concrete communication service (such as text message, audio call etc.).Inquiry can specify the mode of the initial point in the space at 2600 places, time and social dimension can according to above with reference to Figure 21 2100 described by realize like that, and be in simple and clear consideration thus and be not described further.

Then, the social activity determining to inquire about, Time and place parameter in social, Time and place dimension respectively with the degree of correlation of each in potential user group (or representing the set of data objects of potential user group), 2605.The mode that wherein can realize 2605 is similar to 2100 of Figure 21, and is not described further for simple and clear consideration thus.

With reference to Figure 26, determine that one or more targeted customers in potential user group are for the mutual expection availability of carrying out in real-time Communication for Power session, 2610.Such as, if the process of Figure 26 is performed by the target client device from Figure 24, then the determination at 2610 places can based on the property information (such as 2410 places, 2440 places etc.) on the scene received for one or more targeted customer.2610 places determine for the expection availability of each in this one or more targeted customer can be different because of equipment, different and/or different because of service because of user.In one example, if given user is only associated with single client device, this client device there is online property on the scene and this given user expection on its available communication services available (such as, targeted customer 5 in such as Figure 25 E), then expect availability different because of user (because user only on the device can be with) and different because of equipment, but not different because of service, because each communication service that availability is prolonged and this client device is supported.In another example, if given user is only associated with single client device, this client device has online property on the scene and this given user's expection can be used for textcommunication but is not useable for communication speech (such as, targeted customer 1 in such as Figure 25 A), then expect availability different because of user (because user only on the device can be with) and different because of service, but not different because of equipment, because the difference service on same equipment has different expection availabilities.

Then, whether the communication facilities performing the process of Figure 26 meets the relevant parameter (from 2605) of inquiry based on (i) determined degree of correlation in social dimension, time dimension and Spatial Dimension, and the expection availability (from 2610) of one or more targeted customers in (ii) potential user group carrys out the execution processing capacity at least partially to set of data objects (expression potential user group).As an example, the processing capacity performed at 2615 places can comprise the Presentation Function of 2110 of Figure 21, although not necessarily so.The processing capacity performed at 2615 places also can comprise the function relevant with display, such as will represent that expection can be transformed into position more outstanding in display for the data object of the association mechanism communicated with some contact person, and be not similarly expected representing can be transformed into position so not outstanding in display for the data object of the association mechanism communicated with some contact person or simply they all removed.Thus, the expection availability of the potential user group set of data objects that can be associated with potential user group in conjunction with (such as additional or strengthen) from the space of the appointment initial point inquired about, time and/or social adjacency use.Such as, from Figure 25 C targeted customer 3 can tight fit from 2600 inquiry, but client device 3 just aboard and by this unavailable (off-line property on the scene), so represent that any data object of targeted customer 3 and/or client device 3 can be emphasized by releasing on Presentation Function (or other processing capacities) in high-lighting.

Although each attribute (such as position, time and/or social networks) of data object is described as above " static ", it is identical for maintaining the social networks identical with other data objects and the position of data-oriented object at special time to make data-oriented object, but will understand, other embodiments can relate to dynamically update in these data object attributes one or more.Particularly, the expection availability that the sexual state on the scene of potential user group and potential user group participate in concrete communication service can change continually.When data object attribute (such as on the scene) changes, this data object can adopt the privilege of its new attribute and/or license (notice such as, about data object can reach the high-lighting etc. higher or less for user).In situation on the scene, such as, when client device 3 reconnects to sex service device 2400 on the scene after the flight of targeted customer 3 terminates, represent that targeted customer 3 can be restored to their (or in other processing capacities of inside communication equipment) more typical high-lighting ranks in display at one or more data objects of the association mechanism at client device 3 place.

Figure 27 has explained orally the exemplary user interface 2700 that can be implemented on client device (such as, mobile communication equipment, such as cell phone).Usually, Figure 27 is similar to Fig. 9, except the data object that shown by display 915 2615 processing capacities performed based on Figure 26 show, the processing capacity that 2615 places of Figure 26 perform is based on the property on the scene set up for targeted customer 1-5 between Figure 25 A-25E and the supposition of expection availability.In figure 27, assuming that the inner ring data object more outstanding (such as more important or relevant) that larger outer ring object comparison is little, but this supposition is different because of realization, and (other realizations may make larger inner ring data object represent to mean correlativity or importance, or high-lighting can not referred to based on size one's purpose in coming completely, but screen position, color, brightness or any other output intent option can be used on the contrary).

With reference to Figure 27, some data object 950 (but being whole scarcely) is associated with targeted customer 1-5.Because targeted customer 1 expection of operated client equipment 1 can for carrying out textcommunication but can not carrying out voice communication (such as because targeted customer 1 is as shown in fig. 25 a seeing a film), represent that the data object 2705 of the text function of client device 1 is placed in the outstanding outer ring of display 915 in figure 27, and represent that the data object 2710 of the phonetic function of client device 1 is placed in the so not outstanding inner ring of display 915 in figure 27.Because targeted customer 2 expection of operated client equipment 2 can for carrying out voice communication but can not carrying out textcommunication (such as because targeted customer 2 is as shown in Figure 25 B at the 2500B that drives a car), represent that the data object 2715 of the phonetic function of client device 2 is placed in the outstanding outer ring of display 915 in figure 27, and represent that the data object 2720 of the text function of client device 2 is placed in the so not outstanding inner ring of display 915 in figure 27.Because targeted customer 3 off-line of operated client equipment 3 (such as, due to targeted customer 3 as shown in fig. 25 c aboard), based target user 3 the off-line at client device 3 place property on the scene by display get rid of processing capacity data object is got rid of from display 915.Or, although not shown in Figure 27, but the data object of the targeted customer 3 at client device 3 place can be added to the non-significant position of display 915, thus still can leave voice or text message for retrieving after a while for the targeted customer 3 at client device 3 place.

With reference to Figure 27, because the targeted customer 4 of operated client equipment 4 is online but expection is not useable for carrying out any communication (such as because the targeted customer 4 such as shown in Figure 25 D is in sleep), represent that the voice of client device 4 and the data object 2725 and 2730 of text function are placed in the so not outstanding inner ring of display 915 in figure 27 respectively.Thus, although targeted customer 4 is at sleep (or at least expect in sleep or attempt sleep), user still can attempt initiating with the targeted customer 4 at client device 4 place contact (such as, when there is urgent or emergency condition or certain other news are considered to be enough to bother target device 4, although the placement of the lower priority of its contact person's mechanism data object 2725 and 2730).Because the targeted customer 5 of operated client equipment 5 expects for carrying out text and voice communication (such as due to as seen in figure 25e targeted customer 5 work), can represent that the text of client device 5 and both data objects 2735 and 2740 of phonetic function are all placed in the outstanding outer ring of display 915 in figure 27 respectively.

Although Figure 27 has explained orally an embodiment of text and the call function focusing on the data object be associated with potential user group, but other embodiments can use property information on the scene (with the social activity from the appointment initial point inquired about, time and/or spatial neighbor degree combined) perform with show about or with the not relevant processing capacity of display, and function except text and call function can be related to (such as, if targeted customer has online property on the scene, then user may wish that the image of loaded targets user to determine whether user wants to contact this targeted customer etc. before initiation contact).
