Publication number: 20090279683Abstract: A telecommunication system routes an incoming call to one or more telephony devices, including personal digital assistants and other remote devices, based on the called party's historical call pattern created and updated by the system. The system may also enhance the routing using transient information and/or real-time information when available. The call routing is designed to route calls to targeted devices to increase the likelihood that the call is answered by the intended called party while also alleviating the need to place multiple calls in an attempt to locate the called party.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2008Publication date: November 12, 2009Inventors: Doug Gisby, Robert J.

Publication number: 20090097631Abstract: A telecommunication system that routes an inbound telephone communication through an enterprise communication network and server. The system and its operating method routes an incoming call to a first recipient, and if the first recipient does not answer, then routes the call to a second recipient (or more) based on a predetermined user profile and/or user overflow group. The server retrieves an overflow group profile, consisting of a plurality user profiles, associated with the called device, determines how to route the call, and initiates a call to the user and/or overflow group members according to how the call should be routed. The system can route the incoming call to a plurality of telephony devices including personal digital assistants and other remote devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2007Publication date: April 16, 2009Inventors: Doug Gisby, Robert J.
