Device-to-device call disposition

A method of automatic call forwarding and device-to-device call disposition from a first telecommunications device to a second telecommunications device, comprising:

• receiving a call at the first telecommunications device;
• determining whether the first telecommunications device is in an operational proximity of the second telecommunications device, including querying an intelligent network component associated with the first telecommunications device to determine whether the first telecommunications device is within a prescribed physical range of the second telecommunications device;
• if the first telecommunications device is in the operational proximity of the second telecommunications device, automatically forwarding the call received at the first telecommunications device to the second telecommunications device;
• and
• if the first telecommunications device is not in the operational proximity of the second telecommunications device:
• querying a database of features associated with the first telecommunications device via the intelligent network component associated with the first telecommunications device to determine whether device-to-device call disposition is required for the received call;
• passing call disposition instructions to the second telecommunications device;
• at the second telecommunications device, presenting a notification of the call received at the first telecommunications device;
• receiving a call disposition instruction at the second telecommunications device;
• and
• processing the call disposition instruction received at the second telecommunications device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing computer executable instructions which when executed by a computer perform a method of device-to-device call disposition, comprising:

• receiving a call at a first telecommunications device;
• determining whether the first telecommunications device is in an operational proximity of a second telecommunications device, including querying an intelligent network component associated with the first telecommunications device to determine whether the first telecommunications device is within a prescribed physical range of the second telecommunications device;
• if the first telecommunications device is in the operational proximity of the second telecommunications device, automatically forwarding the call received at the first telecommunications device to the second telecommunications device;
• and
• if the first telecommunications device is not in the operational proximity of the second telecommunications device:
• querying a database of features associated with the first telecommunications device via the intelligent network component associated with the first telecommunications device to determine whether device-to-device call disposition is required for the received call;
• passing call disposition instructions to the second telecommunications device;
• at the second telecommunications device, presenting a notification of the call received at the first telecommunications device;
• receiving a call disposition instruction at the second telecommunications device;
• and
• processing the call disposition instruction received at the second telecommunications device.
