Embodiment Construction

[0012] The present invention relates to cellular communications, and more particularly to a system and method for providing a user-selectable status indication to a caller when the called party is unavailable. Embodiments of the present invention store user selectable state locally and on a remote server such as maintained by a service provider.

[0013] Such as figure 1 As shown, a cellular communication system 100 includes a plurality of cellular communication devices 110, such as mobile cellular telephones. Each cellular communication device 110 is connected in signal communication to a base station 112 via an ordinary wireless link. Each base station 112 is in turn connected in signal communication with a cellular network 114 . A computer server 116 , such as a server resident at a cellular service provider, is connected in signal communication with the cellular network 114 . Accordingly, a communication path is formed between each cellular communication device 110 and ...

Abstract

A system (100) and method (400) for providing a user-selectable status indication to incoming callers is provided, the system including a cellular communications device (110, 200) having a user-selectable status, and a server (116, 300) in signal communication with the cellular communications device for receiving the user-selectable status from the cellular communications device and for updating its logical database; and the corresponding method including the steps of providing a plurality of user-selectable statuses on a cellular communications device, receiving a status selection from a user of the cellular communications device, transmitting the user's status selection to a server, directing an incoming call for the user to the server if the user-selected status is not the available status, and providing an indication to the incoming caller in accordance with the user's status selection.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to cellular communications, and more particularly to systems and methods for providing user selectable status indications to callers. Background technique [0002] Typically, cellular phone users are sometimes unable to answer incoming calls. In unanswerable situations, for example, when the user is in a meeting or in class, the user can turn off the phone and / or the ringer. Therefore, the caller usually does not know whether the user is only temporarily unavailable, or what the user's status is. Although a user can usually leave a new voicemail when his / her status changes, this process is cumbersome and still requires the user to turn off the phone and / or ringer when in a meeting or in class. Contents of the invention [0003] These and other deficiencies and inadequacies of the prior art are addressed by a system and method for providing user-selectable status indications to callers. [0004] The system includes: a ...
