Position-dependent control of features of a communications system
First Claim

1. A method for controlling call diversion and/or call forwarding of call requests directed to a first terminal of a communication system, comprising:
- determining an actual position of a mobile terminal, which is different from the first terminal and which is wirelessly coupled to the communication system, using a satellite navigation receiver;
comparing the actual position with a stored reference position allocated to the first terminal, to produce a comparison result; and
controlling the call diversion and/or call forwarding based on the comparison result.

Abstract
Features, especially of a call diversion feature, of a communications system are automatically controlled according to the position of a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal can be treated to a certain extent as an indicator of the position of a user carrying the mobile terminal with him/her. The position of the mobile terminal is determined by a global positioning system of the mobile terminal and is compared with a stored reference position. One or more features of the communications system are then controlled according to the results of this comparison.

15. A method for controlling call requests directed to a first terminal of a communication system, comprising:
-
determining an actual position of a mobile terminal, which is different from the first terminal and which is wirelessly coupled to the communication system; determining a difference between the actual position and a stored reference position; and if the difference between the actual position and the stored reference position is greater than a predetermined distance, sending the call request to a terminal other than the first terminal.
