Abstract

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for providing an application program with caller identification functionality. At least one notification object corresponding to at least one notification message graphical user interface element presented externally to a graphical user interface of the application program and intercepted by a listener service registered for the application program may be obtained. For a respective one of the at least one notification object, content of at least one field of the respective notification object may be analyzed according to at least one field pattern, call information comprising at least a telephone number extracted from the content analyzed may be obtained, and a profile corresponding to the telephone number may be retrieved from a database. In response to an incoming call from the telephone number, a user of the application program may be presented with identification information from the profile.

Abstract

There is provided a computerized method for establishing a communication session with at least one contact based on a cross display gesture, comprising: displaying an array of contacts at a first location on a display of an interactive user interface on a screen of a client terminal; displaying an array of applications at a second location on the display of the interactive user interface, the first and second locations being located on opposite sides of the screen separated by an interactive region of the interactive user interface; identifying a cross display gesture manually performed by the user, the cross display gesture connecting a certain contact of the array of contacts with a certain application of the array of applications while crossing some of the interactive region; and establishing a communication session between the user and the certain contact activated by the certain application.
