<p>The present invention relates generally to an agent-based method for setting up a call between at least two parties. More particularly the invention relates to a method of performing call screening and terminal matching during call setup, when the parties involved have several communication terminals. This is solved by means of an agent-based distributed call setup algorithm where a distributed agent (400, 410) represents each party in the system. The agents have information about the respective party's communication terminals, their addresses and the capabilities of said terminals. Each agent also has information about the whereabouts of the user, and is used as a secretary assisting in the call setup process. From the parties' point of view the call interface is similar with the interfaces of today, however, the call setup method offers a much more powerful service where terminals are matched and screening performed.</p> |
