  • Sequentially calling groups of multiple communication devices based on user-specified lists of communication devices having assigned priorities
    Patent number: 8179791
    Abstract: The illustrative embodiment of the present invention provides a find-me service for VoIP. The find-me service allows a user to specify multiple communication devices. Further, the find-me service allows a callee to assign a priority to each communication device specified or in the alternative allows the callee to place the specified communication devices in prioritized lists. Multiple communication devices can have an identical priority level or can be placed in the same priority list. When the user is called, the call is processed by a software based call manager that initiates the find-me service. The call manager sends the call to all of the communication devices with the highest priority. This allows a single call to be sent to multiple communication devices simultaneously. If there is no answer at any of the communication devices the call manager sends the call to all of the communication devices on the list with the next sequential priority level.
