Embodiment Construction

[0050]As briefly described above, a communication application including a selection module and a communication module can be configured to provide related communication mode selections. For example, the selection module may determine available communication modes in response to detecting a request from an initiating user to initiate a communication session with a target user. The selection module may remove one or more communication modes not used by one or both of the initiating user and the target user based on the one or more removal criteria, and prioritize the remaining available communication modes based on the one or more priority criteria. Modes are prioritized to select communication modes. In some embodiments, a confidence level may be determined for the prioritization of the remaining available communication modes. The communication module can then automatically initiate a communication session through the selected communication mode.

Abstract

When initiating a communication session, a user may be faced with the challenge of deciding which communication mode to use to contact and / or share content with one or more other users intended for participation in the communication session. A communication application may be configured to provide a relevant communication mode selection, the communication application including selection and communication modules. For example, the selection module of the communication application may determine available communication modes in response to detection of a request to initiate a communication session from within an application or from a user experience provided by the communication application. The selection module may remove one or more unused communication modes, and prioritize the remaining available communication modes to select a communication mode. A communication module of the communication application may then automatically initiate the communication session through the selected communication mode.

Description

Background technique [0001] When initiating a communication session, a user may be faced with the challenge of deciding which communication mode to use to contact one or more other users intended to participate in the communication session. For example, in a typical work environment, users may have the option to contact other users using email, social networking, instant messaging, or text messaging. Existing solutions may provide the user with a selection of communication modes in a list, however, these solutions involve performing an additional user selection step and often present a communication mode that is unlikely to be selected. Contents of the invention [0002] This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used as an aid in determining t...
