Abstract

One aspect relates to associating an at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device with an at least one context at least partially by specifying an at least one context designated destination that designates the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device based at least partially on the at least one context.

Claims

1-30. -30. (canceled)

31. An apparatus, comprising:

an at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device configured to associate an at least one context designated destination that designates an at least one context of the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device.

32. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is configured to associate the at least one context designated destination at least in part based on at least one location of the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device.

33. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is configured to associate the at least one context designated destination at least in part based on at least one movement of the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device.

34. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is configured to associate the at least one context designated destination at least in part within or nearby at least a portion of at least one vehicle.

35. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is configured to associate the at least one context designated destination at least in part within or nearby at least a portion of at least one business.

36. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is configured to associate the at least one context designated destination at least in part within or nearby at least a portion of at least one organization.

37. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is configured to associate the at least one context designated destination at least in part within or nearby at least a portion of at least one defined space.

38. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is configured to associate the at least one context designated destination at least partially within or nearby at least a portion of at least one physical structure.

39. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is configured to associate the at least one context designated destination at least partially based on the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device performing an action.

40. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is configured to associate the at least one context designated destination at least in part based on words or audio associated with the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device.

41. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is configured to associate the at least one context designated destination is based at least in part on at least one temporal context.

42. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is configured to associate the at least one context designated destination at least in part based on at least one characteristic of at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device.

43. The apparatus of claim 31, further comprising:

the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device configured to operatively couple to another device based at least in part on the context.

44. The apparatus of claim 31, further comprising the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device configured to translate from a relatively ambiguous specification to a relatively precise specification as associated with a device address, as performed at least partially in response to the translating from the relatively ambiguous specification to the relatively precise specification.

45. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device configured to associate with the at least one context at least partially involves capturing an image of an identifiable person or object.

46. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device configured to associate with the at least one context at least partially involves satisfying the at least one context.

47. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is configured to associate with the at least one context including a plurality of communication modalities, and wherein the associating the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device with the at least one context is performed based at least in part on the at least one of the plurality of communication modalities.

48. The apparatus of claim 31, further comprising:

the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device configured to perform some action based at least in part on the context.

49. The apparatus of claim 31, further comprising:

the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device configured to provide an alert based at least partially on the context.

50. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one context is based at least partially on a physiological parameter of the at least one identifiable person.

51. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one context is based at least partially on an attribute associated with an at least partially external parameter of the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device.

52. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one context is based at least in part on an interaction of the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device with a vehicle.

53. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one context of the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device is determined based at least in part on at least one attribute-based relation of the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device.

54. The apparatus of claim 31, further comprising operating the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device at least partially within at least one of a group of systems, the group of systems includes a phone system, a networked-computer system, a communication device/system, an audio system, a media-type system, and/or a music system.

55. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one context is at least partially determined based on an infrastructure.

56. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one context is at least partially configured to ensure a privacy of an infrastructure.

57. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one context designated destination is at least partially specified by the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device.

58. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device at least partially automatically derives the at least one context designated destination.

59. The apparatus of claim 31, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device at least partially manually derives the at least one context designated destination.

60. An apparatus, comprising:

an at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device configured to receive at least one communication request directed at least in part based on an at least one context of the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device.

61. The apparatus of claim 60, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device at least partially automatically receives the at least one communication.

62. The apparatus of claim 60, wherein the at least one identifiable person and/or identifiable communication device at least partially manually receives the at least one communication.
