1. A method for performing configurable actions based upon detection of user communication devices, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a service node from a detection point, an identifier for a first user communication device of a plurality of user communication devices detected within a detection perimeter associated with the detection point;
filtering, by the service node, the identifier to determine a change in status for the first user communication device, wherein the filtering comprises identifying ones of the user communication devices that are associated with stored user information for a user of a communication environment;
determining, by the service node, a change in status for the first user communication device in response to the filtering;
directing, by the service node in response to the determining, the detection point to confirm the change in status for the first user communication device with a confirmation query to the first user communication device;
in response to determining the change in status, instructing the detection point to increase a frequency at which the detection point queries nearby devices; and
directing, by the service node, a call server to alter call routing based upon a response to the confirmation query of the determined change in status for the first user communication device.

Abstract
A method for performing configurable actions based upon the detection of one or more mobile devices includes receiving from a detection point an identifier for each of one or more mobile devices detected within a detection perimeter associated with the detection point. The identifiers are then filtered to determine a change in status for each of the one or more mobile devices. An action is then performed based upon at least one of the determined changes in status for each of the one or more mobile devices.

8. A method for performing configurable actions based upon detection of user communication devices, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a service node from a detection point, an identifier for a first one of a plurality of user communication devices detected within a detection perimeter associated with the detection point; filtering, by the service node, the identifier to determine a change in status for the first user communication device; determining, by the service node, a change in status for the first user communication device in response to the filtering; requesting, by the service node in response to the determining, the detection point to confirm the change in status for the first user communication device with a confirmation query to the first user communication device; in response to determining the change in status, instruct the detection point to increase a frequency at which the detection point queries nearby devices; and performing, by the service node, an action based upon a response to the confirmation query of the determined change in status for the first user communication device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A service node for performing configurable actions based upon detection of user communication devices, the service node comprising:
-
a communication interface; and a control system associated with the communication interface and adapted to; receive from a detection point an identifier for a first one of a plurality of user communication devices detected within a detection perimeter associated with the detection point; identify ones of the user communication devices that are associated with stored user information for a user of a communication environment, the identified ones of the user communication devices including the first user communication device; determine a change in status for the first user communication device based on the identification; direct, in response to the determination, the detection point to transmit a confirmation query to the first user communication device to confirm the change in status; in response to determining the change in status, instruct the detection point to increase a frequency at which the detection point queries nearby devices; and perform an action based upon at the determined change in status for the first user communication device based upon a response to the confirmation query. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
