Personal mobility communication system

摘要

The invention provides a mobile communication system in a network that receives a location schedule from a subscriber and directs a call to the subscriber based on the location schedule. The network may include a telephone network, a data network and a cable network interconnected together. Each of the networks connects to communication devices. For example, the cable network is connected to fixed location devices such as cable units conventionally provided to cable subscribers. The fixed location devices may be connected to communication devices such as televisions, stereos or mailboxes. When a subscriber location schedule indicates that the subscriber is reachable at a specific fixed location device, the mobility system pages the subscriber at the specific fixed location device when a call is received for the subscriber during the specified date and time found in the location schedule. The subscriber may respond to the page by either making a reverting call commonly used in paging systems or responding directly through the fixed location device if the connected communication device provides for two-way communication.
