Method and system for dynamically modifying a dial plan for a wireless dual-mode handset
First Claim
1. A system for dynamically associating a subscriber device of a subscriber with a first network, comprising:
- means for detecting the presence of the subscriber device within the first network, the first network being associated with a network identifier;
means for sending the network identifier to a wireless wireline convergence application server upon detection by the subscriber device of its presence within the first network; and
means for associating the network identifier with the subscriber device at the converged service gateway so that a dial plan associated with the subscriber device and a dial plan associated with devices coupled to the fist network are linked via the first network identifier.

Abstract
A dual mode device detects when its presence within a home wireless LAN. The dual mode device sends a message containing the BSSID of the HWLAN to an application on a WWC server, which associates the BSSID with the subscriber'"'"'s identity in a dynamic database. When a call is dialed to the dual mode device, the WWC server application determines that the dual mode device is within the HWVLAN and causes the dual mode device and the HWLAN devices to ring. If a call is dialed to the HWLAN, the WWC server application looks up in a static database the user identity associated with the HWLAN and determines that the user subscribes to dynamic modification of the dial plan. The dynamic database, indexed on identity, is searched and determines that the user is within their HWLAN. Therefore, the dual mode device also rings when the HWLAN devices ring.

13. A method for dynamically associating a subscriber device of a subscriber with a first network, comprising:
-
step for detecting the presence of the subscriber device within the first network, the first network being associated with a network identifier;
step for sending the network identifier to a wireless wireline convergence application server upon detection by the subscriber device of its presence within the first network; and
step for associating the network identifier with the subscriber device at the converged service gateway, so that a dial plan for the subscriber device and a dial plan for devices coupled to the fist network are linked via the first network identifier. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
