Apparatus, system, and method for digital voice call redirection

A system comprising:

• a configuration module which associates a phone number with a first identifier of a first voice terminal device provided by an address module, the same phone number also being associated with a second identifier of a second voice terminal device, wherein each identifiers is unique and does not comprise nor is associated with a different phone number;
• and
• a routing module which
• receives a determination made by a location module as to whether the first device is within a predefined proximity to the second device, and
• redirects a digital voice call to be accepted by a call module of the first device using the first identifier when the first device is not within the predefined proximity to the second device, the call otherwise being directed to the second device by default,
• wherein the address module, the configuration module, the location module, the call module, and the routing module comprise one or more of logic hardware and executable code, the executable code stored on one or more non-transitory computer-readable media.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer executable code to perform operations comprising:

• providing a first identifier of a first voice terminal device;
• associating a phone number with the first identifier, the same phone number also being associated with a second identifier of a second voice terminal device, wherein each identifiers is unique and does not comprise nor is associated with a different phone number;
• making a determination as to whether the first device is within a predefined proximity to the second device;
• receiving a digital voice call to any one of a plurality of devices associated with the same phone number;
• redirecting the call to the first device using the first identifier when the first device is not within the predefined proximity to the second device, the call otherwise being directed to the second device by default;
• and
• accepting the call as redirected.

A machine-implemented method comprising:

• providing a first identifier of a first voice terminal device to be associated with a phone number, the same phone number also being associated with a second identifier of a second voice terminal device, wherein each identifiers is unique and does not comprise nor is associated with a different phone number;
• making a determination as to whether the first device is within a predefined proximity to the second device;
• and
• accepting a digital voice call received to the same phone number, the call having been redirected to the first device using the first identifier when the first device is not within the predefined proximity to the second device, the call otherwise being directed to the second device by default.
