Patent ID: 8514226

Claim:
A method comprising: monitoring, by at least one physical computing device, a plurality of communications initiated by a first user towards a second user during a time period and a plurality of communications initiated by said second user towards said first user during said time period; determining, by said at least one physical computing device based on said monitored communications initiated by said first user towards said second user during said time period, a first strength of communication metric representative of a strength of said communications initiated by said first user towards said second user; determining, by said at least one physical computing device based on said monitored communications initiated by said second user towards said first user during said time period, a second strength of communication metric representative of a strength of said communications initiated by said second user towards said first user; generating, by said at least one physical computing device based on said determined first and second strength of communication metrics, a strength of communication graphic that graphically represents said strength of said communications initiated by said first user towards said second user relative to said strength of said communications initiated by said second user towards first user; and providing, by said at least one physical computing device, said graphic for display by an access device associated with said first user to facilitate visualization by said first user of said strength of said communications initiated by said first user towards said second user relative to said strength of said communications initiated by said second user towards said first user.
