1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a server, a communication identifying a sender'"'"'s address and destined to a recipient'"'"'s address;
querying, by the server, an electronic database for the recipient'"'"'s address, the electronic database having associations between global positioning system information and addresses;
retrieving, by the server, the global positioning system information from the electronic database, the global positioning system information having an association with the recipient'"'"'s address;
retrieving, by the server, a surgery schedule associated with the recipient'"'"'s address;
determining, by the server, the global positioning system information corresponds to a surgical room scheduled in the surgery schedule; and
selecting, by the server, an alternate destination for the communication in response to the global positioning system information corresponding to the surgical room scheduled in the surgery schedule.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and products route communications according to schedules. When an incoming communication is detected, a schedule is retrieved that is associated with a recipient'"'"'s address. A time associated with the communication is compared to entries in the schedule. If a match is determined, then an alternate destination may be chosen.

8. A system, comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory storing code that when executed causes the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising; receiving a communication identifying a sender'"'"'s address and a recipient'"'"'s address; querying an electronic database for the recipient'"'"'s address, the electronic database having electronic database associations between global positioning system information and different addresses including the recipient'"'"'s address; retrieving the global positioning system information from the electronic database, the global positioning system information having an association with the recipient'"'"'s address; retrieving a surgery schedule associated with the recipient'"'"'s address; comparing a time associated with the communication to the surgery schedule; determining the global positioning system information corresponds to a procedure scheduled in the surgery schedule at the time associated with the communication; and selecting an alternate destination address for the communication in response to the procedure. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A memory storing instructions which when executed cause a processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
-
processing a communication identifying a sender'"'"'s address and a recipient'"'"'s address; querying an electronic database for the recipient'"'"'s address, the electronic database having electronic database associations between global positioning system information and different addresses including the recipient'"'"'s address; determining the global positioning system information corresponds to a surgical room in which a surgery is scheduled at a time associated with the communication; and selecting an alternate destination for the communication in response to the the global positioning system information corresponding to the surgical room. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
