Selecting a Contact from a Primary Digital Communication Device and Completing the Call Through a Different Communication Device

Abstract

A telephony system has a primary digital communication device associated with a caller, the primary digital communication device executing a mobile application, a digital communication device accessible to the user other than the primary digital communication device, and a near-field wireless network coupling the primary digital communication device and the communication device other than the primary digital communication device. The caller, logged into the mobile application, selects a contact from a contact list in the primary digital communication device, and the mobile application, through the near-field wireless connection, causes the digital communication device other than the primary digital communication device to place the call.
