Apparatus, method and system for subscriber control of timed and regional membership in multiple member termination groups for multiple leg telecommunication sessions

A system for subscriber control of membership in a multiple member termination group for a multiple leg telecommunication session, the system comprising:

• a database baving stored in a memory a plurality of secondary directory numbers associated with a primary directory number, wherein the database includes instructions to determine whether each secondary directory number, of the plurality of secondary directory numbers, is currently incorporated within a selected alerting group based upon a geographic location of a mobile unit corresponding to the secondary directory number;
• and,
• a switching center coupled to the database, the switching center further having an interface for receiving an incoming call leg designating the primary directory number and for differentially processing and routing each outgoing call leg associated with each secondary directory number currently incorporated within the selected alerting group.

• a home location register having stored in a memory a plurality of secondary directory numbers associated with a primary directory number, wherein the home location register includes instructions to determine whether each secondary directory number, of the plurality of secondary directory numbers, is currently incorporated within a selected alerting group based upon a geographic location parameter for a mobile unit corresponding to the secondary directory number;
• and
• a mobile switching center coupled to the home location register, the mobile switching center further having an interface for receiving an incoming call leg designating the primary directory number and for differentially processing and routing each outgoing call leg associated with each secondary directory number currently incorporated within the selected alerting group.
