Patent ID: 8370769

Claim:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a computer-executable component, implemented by executing instructions on a processor associated with a telecommunications device, the computer-executable component comprising: a contact management component operative to: cause the generation of a first path-based information display, the first path-based information display including a first set of graphical identifiers corresponding to a first subset of contacts selected at least in part by a user of the telecommunications device, wherein the first subset of user contacts includes a portion of the user's contacts accessible by the telecommunications device and wherein a first portion of the first subset of contacts is selected by the user of the telecommunications device and a remaining portion of the first subset of contacts is determined automatically as a function of an organizational criteria, and wherein the first set of graphical identifiers is positioned along a first path about a first axis positioned external and substantially parallel to a display of the telecommunications device, wherein the first set of graphical identifiers is rotatable along the first path about the first substantially parallel external axis; and cause the generation of a second path-based information display, the second path-based information display including a second set of graphical identifiers corresponding to a second subset of contacts selected at least in part by a user of the telecommunications device, wherein the second subset of user contacts includes a portion of the user's contacts accessible by the telecommunications device, and wherein the second set of graphical identifiers is positioned along a second path about a second axis positioned external and substantially parallel to the display of the telecommunications device, wherein the second set of graphical identifiers is rotatable along the second path about the second substantially parallel external axis; wherein the first path is different from the second path.
