Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for pinning items and displaying pinned items. SOLUTION: Pinned items are displayed so as to be visually distinguishable from and prioritized over relevant non-pinned items. For example, pinned contacts are displayed at the top of a contact list and are visually distinguishable from the other contacts. A special icon is used to indicate an item as a "pinned" contact. A pinned item is a copy of a contact, which allows a user to quickly access the most frequently communicated and used item and assigns importance to the item. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
