Abstract

Generating telephone service logic based on received data is disclosed. The telephone service logic may include caller priority levels. A caller priority level may be updated based on a change in information associated with a caller. The telephone service logic may be upgraded in accordance with new telephone service logic. The new telephone service logic may be automatically located, purchased and downloaded over at least one network via a buying request script. The buying request script may represent a collective buying group as an aggregation of compatible buying request scripts created by a plurality of different users. The telephone service logic may be transmitted to a computer.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving, at a computing device, positioning data from a global positioning system (GPS), wherein the computing device is a programmable device and is in communication with the GPS;

generating, at the computing device, telephone service logic based at least on the received positioning data, the telephone service logic including caller priority levels;

updating, at the computing device, at least one caller priority level based on a change in information associated with a caller;

upgrading, at the computing device, the telephone service logic in accordance with new telephone service logic, the new telephone service logic automatically located, purchased and downloaded over at least one network via a buying request script, the buying request script representing a collective buying group as an aggregation of compatible buying request scripts created by a plurality of different users; and

transmitting, from the computing device, the telephone service logic to at least one computer.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the telephone service logic further includes a specification of on-going calls to be interrupted by an incoming call.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the telephone service logic further includes a specification of incoming calls to be blocked based on a caller ID.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the received positioning data is received wirelessly.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the received positioning data has been previously requested over the Internet.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the telephone service logic further includes a specification of different outgoing voicemail messages based on a time of an incoming call.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the specification of different outgoing voicemail messages comprises a specification of outgoing voicemail messages based on an incoming caller.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

updating the telephone service logic based on monitored telephone service usage over a period of time.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

initiating the change in information associated with the caller based on information received by an Internet browser.

10. The method as in claim 1, wherein the buying request script comprises at least one desired message feature, at least one user priority feature and a desired price range.

11. A computing device, comprising:

a processor configured to communicate with a global positioning system (GPS);

the processor configured to receive positioning data from the GPS;

the processor configured to generate telephone service logic based at least on the received positioning data, the telephone service logic including caller priority levels;

the processor configured to update at least one caller priority level based on a change in information associated with a caller;

the processor configured to upgrade the telephone service logic in accordance with new telephone service logic, the new telephone service logic automatically located, purchased and downloaded over at least one network via a buying request script, the buying request script represents a collective buying group as an aggregation of compatible buying request scripts created by a plurality of different users; and

the processor configured to send the telephone service logic to at least one computer.

12. The computing device of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to update the telephone service logic based on monitored telephone service usage over a period of time.

13. The computing device of claim 11, wherein the processor is configured to initiate the change in information associated with the caller based on information received by an Internet browser.

14. The computing device of claim 11, wherein the information associated with the caller is different than the at least one caller priority level.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium with stored instructions executable by a computing device, comprising:

instructions to receive positioning data from a global positioning system (GPS);

instructions to generate telephone service logic based at least on the received positioning data;

instructions to update at least one caller priority level based on a change in information associated with a caller;

instructions to upgrade the telephone service logic in accordance with new telephone service logic, the new telephone service logic automatically located, purchased and downloaded over at least one network via a buying request script, the buying request script represents a collective buying group as an aggregation of compatible buying request scripts created by a plurality of different users; and

instructions to transmit the telephone service logic to at least one computer.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the telephone service logic includes a specification of which on-going calls are to be interrupted by an incoming call.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the specification of which on-going calls are to be interrupted by an incoming call comprises:

comparing a priority level of the incoming call with a priority level of an on-going call, to determine whether to provide a call waiting notification for the incoming call or direct the incoming call to voicemail.

18. The computer-readable methum of claim 15, wherein the telephone service logic further includes a specification of incoming calls to be blocked based on a caller identification (ID).

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the telephone service logic further includes a specification of different outgoing voicemail messages based on a time of an incoming call.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 19, wherein the specification of different outgoing voicemail messages is based on an incoming caller.

21. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the information associated with the caller is different than the at least one caller priority level.
