OVERVIEW

Today the basic state of a phone is on or off. This is not reflective of the true state of the user that the user might wish to communicate. State aware telephony places users in control what state information they want to expose and to whom.

This application provides interfaces for subscribers to define their states that the network is aware of. These states like meeting, weekend, after-work etc. allow the subscribers to define what treatment to meet to calls on a per caller or caller group/domain basis. These permissions are defined as Identity contracts. An identity contract allows a user to define who can reach him/her in what state.

KEY FEATURES

• Changes unit of control from On / Off to subscriber selected states
• Defines permissions and privileges for others using network implementable identity contracts (first degree & other degrees of relationships)
• Call completion to subscriber, voice mail, divert etc. based on 'state'
• Supports privacy screening without irritating the calling party
• Dynamically provides or alters privileges on a per relationship basis
• Flexibility to define and store profiles for reuse, auto activation or deactivation or customization of the terms of each relationship
• Very simple operation based on a synchronized network address book
