METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING CONTEXT-BASED CALL TRANSFER OPERATION

摘要

A method for processing an incoming call to a wireless phone (10) via a wireless base station (5) of a wireless communication system (1), in which information descriptive of the current context of the callee is transferred to the caller. The current context of a user is determined by a sensor and/or input from the user and stored in the user's phone equipment (10) or in a Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) server (7). In response to an incoming call to the user, it is determined if an automatic call answering function is enabled, and if so, then the stored context information is transferred to the caller. The information may be a voice message, text message, or a page from the WAP server for directing further call processing such as leaving a message or ringing the user's phone.
