Abstract
A method (500) for dynamically creating a communication group. The method can include identifying a first contact (100) and automatically identifying a plurality of contacts (110, 120, 130, 140, 150) within a number (N) of levels removed from the first contact. The first contact can be included as one of the plurality of contacts or excluded from such plurality of contacts. The method further can include selecting at least a portion of the identified contacts to include within the communication group. Identifying the first contact can include processing an image that includes first contact. In another arrangement, a selection of the first contact from a contact list can be received. In yet another arrangement, a selection of the first contact from a recent call list can be received.
