Managing voicemail greeting based on location of wireless communication device
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a bus;
a processor coupled to the bus;
a memory coupled to the bus; and
a computer readable tangible storage device coupled to the bus, the computer readable tangible storage device containing instructions that, when carried out by the processor via the memory, implement a method for managing voicemail greetings of a wireless communication device based on a location of the wireless communication device, the method comprising the steps of;
the processor recording one or more location-specific voicemail greetings for the wireless communication device, wherein each of the one or more location-specific voicemail greetings is a different greeting from a general voicemail greeting that is not dependent on a location of the wireless communication device;
the processor associating each of the one or more location-specific voicemail greetings with a specific location of a plurality of specific locations to which the wireless communication device can be moved, wherein each of the one or more location-specific voicemail greetings is associated with a different specific location;
the processor periodically receiving current locations of the wireless communication device in response to receipt of a call by the wireless communication device from a caller device;
the processor determining that the wireless communication device is stationary when the periodically received current locations are a same current location for a predefined period of time; and
in response to the determination that the wireless communication device is stationary and the same current location being one of the specific locations associated with a recorded location-specific voicemail greeting, the processor presenting the recorded location-specific voicemail greeting associated with the same current location of the wireless communication device to the caller device.

Abstract
Disclosed are a method, system and computer program product for managing voicemail greetings on a wireless communication device based on the device'"'"'s location. A user records location-specific voicemail greetings on the user'"'"'s wireless communication device, and associates the greetings with specific locations. When an authorized caller calls the user'"'"'s wireless communication device, the location of the user'"'"'s wireless communication device is detected, and location information of the user'"'"'s device is sent to a call switching component. The call switching component presents the caller with the voicemail greeting associated with the location of the user'"'"'s wireless communication device. The date and time the user'"'"'s wireless communication device entered the location can be provided via a timestamp and presented to the caller along with the location-specific voicemail greeting, to enable the caller to determine when the user may be available to communicate, based on the combination of the information in the greeting and the timestamp information.
