Abstract:
A control circuit detects an opportunity to send a message
notwithstanding that no recipient is yet identified and identifies,
without user input, a specific recipient from amongst a plurality of
possible recipients of the message based, for example, on metadata
regarding at least some of the possible recipients using one or more
predetermined selection criteria. The control circuit can also determine
a domain context for a message as corresponds to such an opportunity and
use that domain context along with information corresponding to the
message to query an invocation framework that cannot itself natively
intuit domain context from the information. Received possible recipients
can then be presented via a display to facilitate a user-based selection
of one of the recipients.Claims:
