Method of communication to a detached terminal via a network
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- responding, under control of at least one processing device of a first communication apparatus, to a switch-off command by;
prompting a user to select a detach message from a list of detach messages;
conveying a detach message identification to a network; and
after conveying the detach message identification to the network, switching off the first communication apparatus; and
subsequent to switching off the first communication apparatus, conveying, under control of the network and based on the detach message identification, a detach message to a second communication apparatus from which a call emanates that is destined for the first communication apparatus.

Abstract
A communication apparatus, which allows a user to communicate via a network, carries out a switch off step (SOA) in response to a switch off command. In the switch off step (SOA), the communication apparatus allows the user to select (SM2, SM3) a detach message from a list of detach messages (DML). The communication apparatus conveys (SM6, SM7) a detach message identification (MID) to the network and, subsequently, switches off (SM8). The detach message identification (MID) represents the detach message that the user has selected. The network carries out a call handling step in which the network conveys the detach message to another communication apparatus from which a call emanates that is destined for the communication apparatus that is switched off.

6. A communication device, comprising:
-
a transceiver; and at least one processing device coupled to the transceiver and configured to respond to a switch-off command by; selecting a detach message from a list of detach messages; generating control signals to cause a detach message identification corresponding to the selected detach message to be transmitted by the transceiver; and after the detach message identification is transmitted by the transceiver, generating control signals to switch off the communication device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium whose contents cause at least one processor of a communication apparatus to carry out a method in response to a switch-off command, the method comprising:
-
prompting a user to select a detach message from a list of detach messages; conveying a detach message identification to a network based on the user selection; and after the detach message identification is conveyed to the network, switching off the communication apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

8. A network, comprising at least one processing device configured to implement:
-
a call handling module; and a detach handling module configured to receive a detach message identification transmitted by a communication apparatus, the detach message identification representing a detach message that a user of the communication apparatus has selected in a switch off step, which ends by switching off the communication apparatus after the detach message identification is transmitted by the communication apparatus, wherein the call handling module is configured to convey the detach message to another communication apparatus from which a call emanates that is destined for the communication apparatus that is switched off. - View Dependent Claims (17)

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium whose contents cause at least one processing device of a network to carry out:
-
a detach request handling step in which the network receives a detach message identification transmitted by a communication apparatus, the detach message identification representing a detach message that a user of the communication apparatus has selected in a switch off step, which ends by switching off the communication apparatus after the detach message identification is transmitted by the communication apparatus; and a call handling step in which the network conveys the detach message to another communication apparatus from which a call emanates that is destined for the communication apparatus that is switched off. - View Dependent Claims (18)
