Apple Patents Intelligent Caller ID That Turns Inbound Communication Into A Contextual Trip Down Memory Lane

phone_heroApple has been granted a new patent today (spotted by AppleInsider), called "Image selection for an incoming call" which describes a system for dynamically choosing an image to display for inbound caller ID, sourced from either a locally stored image library or a cloud-based gallery.
