Position-dependent control of features of a communications system

摘要

Features, especially of a call diversion feature, of a communications system are automatically controlled according to the position of a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal can be treated to a certain extent as an indicator of the position of a user carrying the mobile terminal with him/her. The position of the mobile terminal is determined by a global positioning system of the mobile terminal and is compared with a stored reference position. One or more features of the communications system are then controlled according to the results of this comparison.
