of call routing parameters. The method includes determining the
location of the wireless telephone set which is used to generate
call routing parameters to be placed in a list and transmitted to
a switching system (specification, page 3). The parameters are
read by the switching system until one parameter can be used to
determine the location of the service provider that services the
location of the wireless telephone set (id.). The call is then
extended to the selected service provider (id.).
Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A system for extending a telephone call from a wireless
telephone set that is served by a cellular communication system
to an automatically selected one of a plurality of location-based
service providers comprising:
means for determining a present location of said wireless
telephone set;
means responsive to determining said present location of
said wireless telephone set for generating a list that contains a
plurality of call routing parameters, each of which is determined
from said present location of said wireless telephone set and
wherein each of said plurality of call routing parameters is a
location identifier for said wireless telephone set; and
means for transmitting said list of said plurality of call
routing parameters to a switching system.
