System and method for dynamically re-configuring communications session routing based on location information

A method for reconfiguring communications session routing in a communications system, each communications session being destined for a particular entity and being associated with at least one predefined route, said method comprising:

• a) defining a set of conditional routing rules associated with the particular entity;
• b) obtaining location information indicative of a current location of the particular entity;
• c) obtaining at least one other type of information affecting routing of communications sessions to the particular entity;
• d) applying a combination of said location information and said at least one other type of information as a condition to said routing rules for determining a routing result;
• e) dynamically updating the at least one predefined route associated with each communications session destined for the particular entity on a basis of said routing result.

A device for reconfiguring communications session routing in a communications system, each communications session being destined for a particular entity and being associated with at least one predefined route, said device comprising:

• a) a first input for receiving location information indicative of a current location of the particular entity;
• b) a second input for receiving at least one other type of information affecting routing of communications sessions to the particular entity;
• c) a processing unit including a set of conditional routing rules associated with the particular entity, said processing unit operative to:
• i) apply a combination of said location information and said at least one other type of information as a condition to said routing rules for determining a routing result;
• ii) dynamically update the at least one predefined route associated with each communications session destined for the particular entity on a basis of said routing result.
