Abstract
A system and method for generating a dynamic prioritized contact list for a communication device. The dynamic prioritized contact list may vary over the course of the day to provide an optimized contact list for a time interval. A prioritized contact list generator determines a current time interval. The prioritized contact list generator monitors communications from one or more past time intervals to determine contact priority for the current time interval. A prioritized contact list is generated for the current time interval based on the contact priority. The prioritized contact list generator automatically updates the dynamic prioritized contact list with priority changes when the current time interval expires.
