Abstract: Methods and systems for performing contact resolution are described herein. When initiating a communications session using a voice activated electronic device, a contact name may be resolved to determine an appropriate contact with which the communications session may be directed to. Contacts from an individual's contact list may be queried to determine a listing of probable contacts associated with the contact name, and contact identifiers associated with the contact may be determined. Using one or more rules for disambiguating between similar contact names, a single contact may be identified, and a communications session with that contact may be initiated.

Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying and displaying present contacts associated with a device's group account are described herein. In some embodiments, a contact list associated with a requesting device may be obtained, and group accounts, and in particular group accounts that have granted communications session privileges to the requesting device's group account, may be determined. Presence information associated with each of the group accounts may be determined so as to identify which of the group accounts are currently “present” (e.g., human presence has been detected proximate to a user's device). These group accounts may be aggregated together, and list metadata may be generated indicating which of the contacts are present, and which are not. The list metadata, as well as list data representing the contact list, may then be provided to the requesting device.
