Call localization systems and methods

摘要

Described are a system and method of managing a real-time communication initiated to a mobile communications device. A communication from an originating communications device is sensed as being directed to a first destination address corresponding to a mobile communications device. Location information of the mobile communications device is determined. The communication is directed to a second destination address based on the determined location of the mobile communications device.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, having instructions stored on a tangible and non-transitory medium, of managing a real-time communication initiated to a mobile communications device based on a user's mobile communications device physical location, comprising:
sensing a communication from an originating communications device that is directed to a first destination address corresponding to the user's mobile communications device; determining location information related to the mobile communications device; receiving an instruction from the user that defines a future travel itinerary comprising at least one travel destination having a second destination address, the second destination address to receive an incoming communication directed to the first destination address when the mobile communications device is a predetermined distance from the determined location or within a predetermined distance of the at least one travel destination and the second destination address is a different destination address than the first destination address; comparing the location information and the instruction to determine if the communication is to be directed to the second destination address; directing the communication to the second destination address based on the comparison and the determined location of the mobile communications device; generating a notification to the second destination address prior to delivery of the incoming communication that identifies a user of the incoming communication; generating a notification to the originating communications device of the communication directed to the second destination address; determining if the communication is delivered to the second destination address; comparing the location information and the instruction to determine a third destination address if the communication fails to be delivered to the second destination address; and directing the communication to the third destination address in response to the comparison.
