  • Patent number: 7916853
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing calendar based routing of communications. Methods include receiving a communication from a sending party to a receiving party, the communication including a communication type. A current calendar entry type for the receiving party is retrieved in response to receiving the communication. A destination for the communication is determined. The destination is responsive to the communication type and to the current calendar entry type. The communication is transmitted to the destination.

  • Patent number: 7804950
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for determining routings of communications. Methods include receiving a communication for a receiving party and determining one or more potential locations of the receiving party. A probability that the receiving party is at each of the potential locations is calculated based on a statistical model. It is determined which of the potential locations has the highest probability. Routing of the communication to the potential location with the highest probability is initiated.
