Presence-based communication routing service and regulation of same

摘要

Systems, methods, and user interfaces are provided for customized communication routing and regulation thereof. The routing of an incoming communication to a device, wireless or wireline, is based on a routing preference and a presence condition of a mobile device in a home or visited wireless environment served by a confined-coverage access point (AP). The routing preference can be configured for a device that operates in the home or visited wireless environment. The confined-coverage AP can be owned or leased by a subscriber associated with the incoming call or by a third party. Provisioning of routing of incoming call based on a third-party confined-coverage AP can be event-based. Add-on services can be provisioned and configured; screening of incoming call(s) based on screening rule(s) specific to an confined-coverage AP is provided. Customized communication routing to equipment that operates in a confined-coverage area served by a third-party confined-coverage AP can be cancelled.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a device comprising a processor, an indication to route an incoming call based on a presence condition of a mobile device in a confined-coverage area, wherein the mobile device is associated with a called device in the incoming call, and the presence condition of the mobile device in the confined-coverage area conveys registration of the mobile device with an access point device that serves the confined-coverage area; identifying, by the device, an entity associated with control of the access point device; and in response to the entity being determined to be a subscriber identity associated with the mobile device,
acquiring, by the device, a first routing preference in a set of routing preferences associated with the called device, androuting, by the device, the incoming call according to the first routing preference; and in response to the entity being determined to be an identity different from the subscriber identity,
acquiring, by the device, a second routing preference in the set of routing preferences associated with the called device, androuting, by the device, the incoming call according to the second routing preference.
