Abstract

Methods and electronic devices for facilitating communications are described. In one aspect, a method for facilitating communications is described. The method includes: monitoring audio based communications; performing an audio analysis on the monitored audio based communications to identify a contact associated with the monitored communications; and providing information associated with the identified contact on an electronic device. In another aspect, an electronic device is described. The electronic device includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores processor readable instructions for causing the processor to: monitor audio based communications; perform an audio analysis on the monitored audio based communications to identify a contact associated with the monitored communications; and provide information associated with the identified contact on an electronic device.
