Methods and systems for routing combined communication identifiers to separate communication devices
First Claim
1. A method of routing incoming communications that are directed to integrated communication manager (ICM) identifiers for communication devices, the method comprising:
- associating an ICM identifier with a plurality of identifiers for communication devices;
determining the association between the ICM identifier and the plurality of communication device identifiers in response to an incoming communication directed to the ICM identifier; and
routing the incoming communication to at least one of the plurality of communication device identifiers that are associated with the ICM identifier.

Abstract
A method for routing incoming communications that are directed to integrated communication manager (ICM) identifiers to communication devices. An ICM identifier is associated with a plurality of identifiers for communication devices. The association between the ICM identifier and the plurality of communication device identifiers is determined in response to an incoming communication directed to the ICM identifier. The incoming communication is routed to at least one of the communication device identifiers that is associated with the ICM identifier. Related systems are also disclosed.

25. A system for routing incoming communications that are directed to integrated communication manager (ICM) identifiers to communication devices, the system comprising:
-
a plurality of communication devices, each having an identifier;
a switch configured to selectively provide communications between the communication devices; and
an ICM service controller that is configured to determine an association between an ICM identifier of an incoming communication to the switch and the plurality of communication device identifiers, and to route the incoming communication to at least one of the communication device identifiers that is associated with the ICM identifier. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
