METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PERFORMING ROUTING OF A PHONE CALL THROUGH A THIRD PARTY DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of routing an outgoing communication, the method comprising:
- transmitting a communication from a caller using a caller telecommunication device to an intended receiving wireless telecommunication device; and
in response to the communication failing to connect to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device, transmitting an instruction from the caller telecommunication device to a host carrier to determine if the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device has previously set up third party alternate telecommunication devices for receiving a re-route of the communication, wherein the instruction from the caller telecommunication device instructs the host carrier to;
identify one or more alternate telecommunication devices that are connected to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device by a common short range wireless technology and are available for receiving the communication,attempt to connect the communication from the caller telecommunication device to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device by re-routing the communication through a first alternate telecommunication device that is coupled to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device, andin response to the attempt to connect the communication to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device by re-routing the communication through the first alternate telecommunication device succeeding, maintain a connection of the communication between the caller telecommunication device and the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device.

Abstract
A method, system, and computer program for routing an outgoing communication in real time is presented. A communication is received from a caller to an intended receiving wireless telecommunication device. In response to the communication failing to connect to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device, a host carrier initiated query of third party priority of contacts routing preferences of the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device is initiated to determine if other communication devices are available for receiving a re-route of the original communication. If third party routing preferences of the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device have previously been established, then the call is rerouted through one or more alternate telecommunication devices to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device. The priority of contacts is stored with the host carrier.

9. A caller telecommunication device comprising:
-
a telecommunications transceiver for communicating over a phone system, wherein the telecommunications transceiver transmits a call from a caller, who is using the caller telecommunication device, to an intended receiving wireless telecommunication device; and a processing logic configured for, in response to the call failing to connect to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device, instructing the telecommunications transceiver to transmit an instruction to a host carrier, wherein the instruction directs the host carrier to perform the steps of; utilizing the telecommunications transceiver to determine if one or more alternate telecommunication devices are connected to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device by a common short range wireless technology and are available for receiving the communication, transmitting an instruction to a first alternate telecommunication device, wherein the instruction directs the first alternate telecommunication device to utilize a short range wireless transceiver of the first alternate telecommunication device to attempt to connect the communication from the caller telecommunication device to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device by re-routing the communication through the first alternate telecommunication device that is coupled to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device, and in response to the attempt to connect the communication to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device by re-routing the communication through the first alternate telecommunication device succeeding, maintaining a connection of the communication between the caller telecommunication device and the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-readable medium having stored a plurality of instructions processable by a machine embodied therein, wherein the plurality of instructions, when processed by the machine, causes the machine to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a communication from a caller using a caller telecommunication device to an intended receiving wireless telecommunication device; and in response to the communication failing to connect to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device, transmitting an instruction from the caller telecommunication device to a host carrier to determine if the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device has previously set up third party alternate telecommunication devices for receiving a re-route of the communication, wherein the instruction from the caller telecommunication device instructs the host carrier to; identify one or more alternate telecommunication devices that are connected to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device by a common short range wireless technology and are available for receiving the communication, attempt to connect the communication from the caller telecommunication device to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device by re-routing the communication through a first alternate telecommunication device that is coupled to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device, and in response to the attempt to connect the communication to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device by re-routing the communication through the first alternate telecommunication device succeeding, maintain a connection of the communication between the caller telecommunication device and the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
