Abstract
A method and apparatus for prioritizing contacts based on context includes an electronic device configured to detect a meeting for a user of the electronic device, wherein the meeting is scheduled for a meeting time interval, and to determine a participant of the meeting. The electronic device is further configured to temporarily make a contact for the participant a priority contact during the meeting time interval and to enable a meeting mode on the first electronic device during the meeting time interval. An audible alert on the electronic device is enabled for the priority contact and disabled for non-priority contacts while the meeting mode is enabled.
