Method and system for modifying routing information associated to a party

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a network entity, cause the network entity to carry out a method that comprises:

• receiving, from a party, a request for conflict monitoring and suggestion for modification in terms of communication routing information pre-configured by the party;
• in response to the request for conflict monitoring and suggestion for modification, monitoring behavior information associated to the party and the communication routing information pre-configured by the party, the pre-configured communication routing information being indicative of an incoming communication addressed to a communication device of the party being routed to at least one termination device as an alternative destination device under one or more rules preconfigured by the party, the one or more rules preconfigured by the party comprising a condition indicative of the party's unavailability to engage in communication exchanges via the communication device, the communication routing information being configurable by the party;
• in response to the request for conflict monitoring and suggestion for modification, processing the pre-configured communication routing information and the behavior information at least in part on the basis of modification information in an attempt to determine if said pre-configured communication routing information stored in a memory is suitable for modification by the party;
• and
• causing the party to be advised when said processing has determined that the pre-configured communication routing information stored in the memory is suitable for modification by the party to reconfigure at least a part of the one or more rules preconfigured by the party in the communication routing information so that a future incoming call to the party is routed to the party's devices other than the at least one termination device based on the modified one or more rules without notification to a sender of the future incoming call.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a program element for execution by a processing unit to implement a modification entity, said program element comprising:

• program code for receiving, from a party, a request for conflict monitoring and suggestion for modification in terms of communication routing information pre-configured by the party;
• program code for in response to the request for conflict monitoring and suggestion for modification, monitoring behavior information associated to the party and the communication routing information pre-configured by the party, the pre-configured communication routing information being indicative of an incoming communication addressed to a communication device of the party being routed to at least one termination device as an alternative destination device under one or more rules preconfigured by the party, the one or more rules preconfigured by the party comprising a condition indicative of the party's unavailability to engage in communication exchanges via the communication device, the communication routing information being configurable by the party;
• program code for in response to the request for conflict monitoring and suggestion for modification, processing the pre-configured communication routing information and the behavior information at least in part on the basis of modification information in an attempt to determine the suitability of modifying, by the party, said pre-configured communication routing information stored in a memory;
• and
• program code for causing the party to be advised when said processing has determined that the pre-configured communication routing information stored in the memory is suitable for modification by the party to reconfigure at least a part of the one or more rules preconfigured by the party in the communication routing information so that a future incoming call to the party is routed to the party's devices other than the at least one termination device based on the modified one or more rules without notification to a sender of the future incoming call.

A method implemented by a network entity, said method comprising:

• receiving, from a party, a request for conflict monitoring and suggestion for modification in terms of communication routing information pre-configured by the party;
• in response to the request for conflict monitoring and suggestion for modification, monitoring location information associated to the party and the communication routing information pre-configured by the party, the pre-configured communication routing information being indicative of an incoming communication addressed to a communication device of the party being routed to at least one termination device as an alternative destination device under one or more rules preconfigured by the party, the one or more rules preconfigured by the party comprising a condition indicative of the party's unavailability to engage in communication exchanges via the communication device, the communication routing information being configurable by the party;
• in response to the request for conflict monitoring and suggestion for modification, processing the pre-configured communication routing information and the location information at least in part on the basis of modification information in an attempt to determine if said pre-configured communication routing information stored in a memory is suitable for modification by the party;
• and
• causing the party to be advised when said processing has determined that the pre-configured communication routing information stored in the memory is suitable for modification by the party to reconfigure at least a part of the one or more rules preconfigured by the party in the communication routing information so that a future incoming call to the party is routed to the party's devices other than the at least one termination device based on the modified one or more rules without notification to a sender of the future incoming call.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed by a network entity, cause the network entity to carry out a method that comprises:

• receiving, from a party, a request for conflict monitoring and suggestion for modification in terms of communication routing information pre-confiqured by the party;
• in response to the request for conflict monitoring and suggestion for modification, monitoring location information associated to the party and the communication routing information pre-configured by the party, the pre-configured communication routing information being indicative of an incoming communication addressed to a communication device of the party being routed to at least one termination device as an alternative destination device under one or more rules preconfigured by the party, the one or more rules preconfigured by the party comprising a condition indicative of the party's unavailability to engage in communication exchanges via the communication device, the communication routing information being configurable by the party;
• in response to the request for conflict monitoring and suggestion for modification, processing the pre-configured communication routing information and the location information at least in part on the basis of modification information in an attempt to determine if said pre-configured communication routing information stored in a memory is suitable for modification by the party;
• and
• causing the party to be advised when said processing has determined that the pre-configured communication routing information stored in the memory is suitable for modification by the party to reconfigure at least a part of the one or more rules preconfigured by the party in the communication routing information so that a future incoming call to the party is routed to the party's devices other than the at least one termination device based on the modified one or more rules without notification to a sender of the future incoming call.
