Abstract
A method for an interaction reminder is provided to prompt a user to communicate with contacts based on a preset threshold of interaction. A setting for a level of interaction is received to communicate with a contact, where the level of interaction corresponds with a threshold. A setting is received for a type of interaction corresponding to the level of interaction for communication with the contact, where the type of interaction includes a telephone communication, an instant messaging communication, and/or an electronic message communication. The level of interaction is determined for communications with the contact. The level of interaction is increased and/or decreased based on a frequency of communications with the contact and based on the type of interaction with the contact. The level of interaction is displayed for communications with the contacts. A warning is provided in response to the level of interaction dropping below the threshold.
