  • COMMUNICATION ROUTING PLANS THAT ARE BASED ON COMMUNICATION DEVICE CONTACT LISTS
    Publication number: 20140317311
    Abstract: In a communication system, a processing system receives contact lists with contact items from wireless communication devices and processes the contact lists to identify a redundant contact item. In response, the processing system transfers a notification to a master wireless communication device. The processing system receives a response from the master wireless communication device and processes the response to generate and transfer a routing instruction. A routing system receives the routing instruction. The routing system receives a message for the master wireless communication device, and in response, selects another wireless communication device for the message based on the routing instruction and transfers the message to the other wireless communication device.
