  • Patent number: 10938761
    Abstract: Handling communications in a wireless network is described. A message requesting forwarding of communications for a first user device is received. Communications include telephone calls, video calls, text based communications, and messages sent via social media. The message requesting forwarding is sent in response to detecting a battery reaching or dropping below a predefined threshold power level. The location of the first user device is determined. One or more trusted second user devices associated with the first user device is identified based on a parameter indicating a highest predefined priority. A trusted second user device is selected to automatically receive redirected forwarded communications for the first user device. The selected second user device is located within a predefined distance of the location of the first user device. Forwarding is cancelled based on detection of normal battery status, or upon receiving a manual cancellation notification.
