Callback for multi subscription
First Claim
1. A method in a communication device for facilitating call back, comprising:
- receiving a telephone call on a first subscription that is associated with a first subscriber identity from another communication device;
determining an order of prioritization among subscriber identities according to at least one parameter for establishing the telephone call with the other communication device on the subscription associated with the respective subscriber identities; and
facilitating callback to the other communication device using a second subscriber identity when it is determined that the second subscriber identity is more prioritized than the first subscriber identity,wherein the communication device is configured for multiple subscriber identities,wherein the multiple subscriber identities comprise the first subscriber identity and the second subscriber identity,wherein the callback is facilitated by presenting a list of alternatives to a user on a display of the communication device,wherein the list of alternatives comprises accepting the call, rejecting the call, and calling back the other communication device using the second subscriber identity,wherein the list of alternatives further comprises a list of subscription identities that may be used to call back the other communication device,wherein the list of subscription identities are presented in a decreasing order of preference,wherein each of the subscription identities corresponds to a subscription identity module of the communication device, andwherein the communication device comprises three or more subscription identity modules.

Abstract
A communication device and method for facilitating call back from a communication device with multiple subscriber identities comprising at least a first subscriber identity and a second subscriber identity. The method comprises receiving a telephone call on a first subscription associated with the first subscriber identity from another communication device. The method also comprises determining an order of prioritization among the subscriber identities according to at least one parameter for establishing the telephone call with the other communication device on the subscription associated with the respective subscriber identities. In further addition, the method comprises facilitating call back to the other communication device using the second subscriber identity when it is determined that the second subscriber identity is more prioritized than the first subscriber identity.

9. A communication device configured for multiple subscriber identities, comprising:
-
at least a first subscriber identity; a second subscriber identity; a receiver configured for receiving a telephone call on a first subscription associated with the first subscriber identity from another communication device; a processing circuit configured for determining an order of prioritization among the subscriber identities according to at least one parameter for establishing the telephone call with the other communication device and also configured for facilitating callback to the other communication device using the second subscriber identity when it is determined that the second subscriber identity is more prioritized than the first subscriber identity, and a display for presenting a list of alternatives to a user of the communication device, wherein the list of alternatives comprises accepting the call, rejecting the call, and calling back the other communication device using the second subscriber identity, wherein the list of alternatives further comprises a list of subscription identities that may be used to call back the other communication device, wherein the list of subscription identities are presented in a decreasing order of preference, wherein each of the subscription identities corresponds to a subscription identity module of the communication device, and wherein the communication device comprises three or more subscription identity modules. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory computer program product in a communication device, which when loaded in a processing circuit of the communication device, causes the communication device to perform a method for facilitating call back comprising:
-
receiving a telephone call on a first subscription that is associated with a first subscriber identity from another communication device; determining an order of prioritization among subscriber identities according to at least one parameter for establishing the telephone call with the other communication device on the subscription associated with the respective subscriber identities; and facilitating callback to the other communication device using a second subscriber identity when it is determined that the second subscriber identity is more prioritized than the first subscriber identity, wherein the communication device is configured for multiple subscriber identities, wherein the multiple subscriber identities comprise the first subscriber identity and the second subscriber identity, wherein the callback is facilitated by presenting a list of alternatives to a user on a display of the communication device, wherein the list of alternatives comprises accepting the call, rejecting the call, and call back the other communication device using the second subscriber identity, wherein the list of alternatives further comprises a list of subscription identities that may be used to call back the other communication device, wherein the list of subscription identities are presented in a decreasing order of preference, wherein each of the subscription identities corresponds to a subscription identity module of the communication device, and wherein the communication device comprises three or more subscription identity modules.
