SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR SCHEDULE-BASED TELECOMMUNICATION POLICIES
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- routing a communications session setup request from a carrier gateway server to an enterprise gateway server;
performing a comparison of a schedule of a member that specifies at least one scheduled location of the member via a schedule database with a current time at which the session setup request is received; and
processing the session according to a policy associated with the scheduled location at the current time.

Abstract
A system, method and computer-readable medium for enforcing user telecommunication privileges on a per-schedule basis are provided. Enterprise members may have a schedule associated therewith that defines scheduled locations of the users. Telecommunication service privileges may be coordinated with the users'"'"' schedules such that communication services are disabled at particular times based on the users'"'"' schedules. In other implementations, particular users may have telecommunication services disabled by an administrator in the event of a catastrophe or emergency. By this mechanism, users that are not proximate to a particular catastrophe or emergency area according to the users'"'"' schedule may have services disabled while other users that are located more proximate to the emergency may have their telecommunication services enabled. In this manner, the demand on a cellular network may be alleviated thereby increasing the likelihood that users directly impacted by the emergency may receive and place calls or access data services.

18. A system, comprising:
-
a cellular network including a carrier gateway server; and an enterprise gateway server communicatively coupled with the carrier gateway server and adapted to interface with a schedule database that specifies scheduled locations of an enterprise member; wherein the cellular network receives a session setup request; wherein the cellular network routes the session setup request to the enterprise gateway server; wherein the enterprise gateway server performs a comparison of a schedule of a member that specifies at least one scheduled location of the member via a schedule database with a current time at which the session setup request is received and processes the session according to a policy associated with the scheduled location at the current time. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
