Auto-matching of a phone extension to a tracked individual within a domain

A method for telephoning individuals associated with a domain, said method comprising:

• automatically determining a current location of a first individual within a domain using a spatial tracking system;
• automatically associating said first individual with a telephone extension number using a domain controller based on determining said current location of said first individual;
• selecting to telephone said first individual using a domain telephone system;
• automatically accessing said telephone extension number associated with said first individual using said domain controller in response to selecting to telephone said first individual;
• automatically determining a second current location of a second individual within said domain using said spatial tracking system;
• automatically associating said second individual with a second telephone extension number using said domain controller based on determining said second current location of said second individual;
• selecting to telephone said second individual using said domain telephone system;
• automatically accessing said second telephone extension number associated with said second individual using said domain controller in response to selecting to telephone said second individual;
• automatically determining that a third individual is not currently being tracked within said domain;
• automatically associating said third individual with an out-of-domain flag based on determining that said third individual is not currently being tracked;
• selecting to telephone said third individual using said domain telephone system;
• and
• automatically accessing a first external telephone number associated with said third individual using said domain controller in response to selecting to telephone said third individual and based on said out-of-domain flag.

A domain controller for enhancing a telephone system within a domain, said domain controller comprising:

• means for receiving a first current location of a first tracked individual within a domain and a first individual identifier of said first tracked individual from a spatial tracking system of said domain;
• means for associating said first individual identifier with a first telephone extension number based on said first current location;
• means for receiving a request to telephone said first tracked individual from a telephone system of said domain;
• means for accessing said first telephone extension number associated with said first tracked individual in response to receiving a request to telephone said first tracked individual;
• means for sending said first telephone extension number to said telephone system;
• means for receiving a second current location of a second tracked individual within said domain and a second individual identifier of said second tracked individual from said spatial tracking system of said domain;
• means for associating said second individual identifier with a second telephone extension number based on said second current location;
• means for receiving a request to telephone said second tracked individual from a telephone system of said domain;
• means for accessing said second telephone extension number associated with said second tracked individual in response to receiving a request to telephone said second tracked individual;
• means for sending said second telephone extension number to said telephone system;
• means for receiving a no-track data indicator, indicating that a third individual is not currently being tracked within said domain, and a third individual identifier of said untracked third individual from said spatial tracking system of said domain;
• means for associating said third individual identifier with an out-of-domain flag based on said no-track data indicator;
• means for receiving a request to telephone said third individual from said telephone system of said domain;
• and
• means for accessing said out-of-domain flag associated with said untracked third individual in response to receiving a request to telephone said untracked third individual.

A system for telephoning individuals associated with a domain, said system comprising:

• means for automatically determining a current location of each of a plurality of individuals within a domain;
• means for automatically associating each of said plurality of individuals with a telephone extension number based on determining said current location of each of said plurality of individuals;
• means for selecting to telephone a first one of said plurality of individuals;
• means for automatically accessing said telephone extension number associated with said first one of said plurality of individuals in response to selecting to telephone said first one of said plurality of individuals;
• means for selecting to telephone a second one of said plurality of individuals;
• means for automatically accessing said telephone extension number associated with said second one of said plurality of individuals in response to selecting to telephone said second one of said plurality of individuals;
• means for automatically determining that a third individual is not currently being tracked within said domain;
• means for associating said third individual with an out-of-domain flag based on determining that said third individual is not currently being tracked;
• means for selecting to telephone said untracked third individual;
• and
• means for accessing said out-of-domain flag associated with said untracked third individual in response to selecting to telephone said untracked third individual.

A method for telephoning individuals associated with a domain, said method comprising:

• selecting to telephone a first one of said plurality of individuals using a domain telephone system;
• automatically accessing said telephone extension number associated with said first one of said plurality of individuals using said domain controller in response to selecting to telephone said first one of said plurality of individuals;
• selecting to telephone a second one of said plurality of individuals;
• automatically accessing said telephone extension number associated with said second one of said plurality of individuals in response to selecting to telephone said second one of said plurality of individuals;
• automatically determining that a third individual is not currently being tracked within said domain;
• associating said third individual with an out-of-domain flag based on determining that said third individual is not currently being tracked;
• selecting to telephone said untracked third individual;
• and
• accessing said out-of-domain flag associated with said untracked third individual in response to selecting to telephone said untracked third individual.

A system for enhancing the ability to telephone individuals associated with a domain, said system comprising:

• a spatial tracking system configured for automatically determining a current location of each of a plurality of individuals within a domain;
• a domain controller operatively interfacing to said spatial tracking system and configured for automatically associating each of said plurality of individuals with a telephone extension number as said current location of each of said plurality of individuals is determined, and further configured for automatically accessing said telephone extension number associated with one of said plurality of individuals after a user selects to telephone said one of said plurality of individuals,
• wherein said domain controller is further configured to:
• receive a second current location of a second tracked individual within said domain and a second individual identifier of said second tracked individual from said spatial tracking system,
• associate said second individual identifier with a second telephone extension number based on said second current location,
• receive a request to telephone said second tracked individual from a telephone system of said domain,
• access said second telephone extension number associated with said second tracked individual in response to receiving a request to telephone said second tracked individual,
• send said second telephone extension number to said telephone system,
• receive a no-track data indicator, indicating that a third individual is not currently being tracked within said domain, and a third individual identifier of said untracked third individual from said spatial tracking system,
