TECHNIQUES FOR PROVIDING TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES TO AN ACCESSORY DEVICE

摘要

The embodiments described herein are generally directed to systems and methods for intelligently structuring, handling, and enhancing communication sessions between or among communication devices including traditional telephony endpoints (e.g., phones) and non-traditional endpoints (e.g., automobiles, accessory devices, wearable accessory devices) among others. Some embodiments are particularly directed to call forwarding policies for providing the ability to make and receive telephone calls intended for a specific telephony endpoint (e.g. mobile phone, VoIP phone, POTS phone) on an accessory device using the telephony endpoint's identity (e.g., telephone number) even when the accessory device and mobile phone (or other telephony endpoint) are separated by great distances or when the mobile phone (or other telephony endpoint) is otherwise unavailable. Various embodiments described herein may enable selective implementation of the call forwarding policies.

1. An apparatus, comprising:
memory; logic, at least a portion of which is implemented in circuitry coupled to the memory, the logic to:
in a private telecom server;receive a forwarded inbound call, the forwarded inbound call redirected from a first telecom server, the forwarded inbound call placed from an originating telephony endpoint and directed to a telephone number associated with a destination telephony endpoint;identify an accessory device associated with the telephone number of the destination telephony endpoint;determine a registration status of the accessory device; androute the forwarded call to the accessory device via an accessory device identifier when the registration status of the accessory device is on-line.
