Abstract

A system and method for automatically and seamlessly routing mobile telephone calls across a telephone network. The system includes a telephone network interface box, a computer, and a client file. The client file has a plurality of records having a spatial key and a client telephone number. One embodiment (1500) of the system utilizes a spatial coordinate (1502) of an instantaneous location of a caller's mobile telephone as an input to a real-time process (1510) which identifies one or more client service locations (1460) from the client file corresponding to the location of the caller's telephone (110).

Claims (30)

1. A real-time method of identifying client service areas spatially containing an instantaneous location of a caller telephone for use in a telephone network call processing system, the method comprising:
providing a file of client service areas of substantially any desired shape and size, wherein each service area is geographically indexed by spatial coordinate windows, and wherein each service area is associated with a service location;
obtaining a caller spatial coordinate corresponding to an instantaneous location of a caller telephone;
indexing the caller spatial coordinate in a spatial coordinate window index of the client service areas file to generate a potential list of at least one service location whose service area potentially contains the location corresponding to the caller spatial coordinate;

determining which service areas include the location corresponding to the caller spatial coordinate; and generating a list of service locations whose service areas contain the location corresponding to the caller spatial coordinate.
2. The method defined in Claim 1, wherein the determining step utilizes the spatial coordinate of the instantaneous location of the caller telephone and the spatial definition of the client service areas in the potential list.
3. The method defined in Claim 1, additionally comprising determining a distance from the instantaneous location of the caller telephone to the service location.
4. The method defined in Claim 3, additionally comprising sorting the list of service locations whose service areas contain the instantaneous location of the caller telephone by ascending distance.
5. A telephone network call processing system for real-time determination of client service areas that spatially contain an instantaneous location of a mobile caller telephone, the system comprising:
a file of client service areas of substantially any desired shape and size, wherein each service area is geographically indexed by spatial coordinate windows, and wherein each service area is associated with a service location;
call decoding hardware capable of obtaining a caller spatial coordinate corresponding to an instantaneous location of a mobile caller telephone;
an initial service area fist function capable of indexing the caller spatial coordinate in a spatial coordinate window index of the client service areas file to generate a potential list of at least one service location whose service area potentially contains the location corresponding to the caller spatial coordinate; and a caller location inside service area extremes function capable of determining which client service areas include the location corresponding to the caller spatial coordinate and generating a list of service locations whose service areas contain the location corresponding to the caller spatial coordinate.
6. The system defined in Claim 5, wherein the caller location inside service area extremes function utilizes the spatial coordinate of the instantaneous location of the caller telephone and the spatial definition of the client service areas in the potential list.
7. The system defined in Claim 5, additionally comprising a process for determining a distance from the instantaneous location of the caller telephone to the service location.
8. The system defined in Claim 7, additionally comprising a process for sorting the list of service locations whose service areas contain the instantaneous location of the caller telephone by ascending distance.
9. A telephone network call processing system comprising:
a call decoding module capable of receiving a dialed number and a caller spatial coordinate corresponding to an instantaneous location of a mobile caller telephone;
a real-time processing module responsive to the dialed number and the caller spatial coordinate for providing client service information corresponding to a selected service location, wherein the service location is provided if the caller spatial coordinate is included in a service area having a client defined geographic configuration of substantially any desired shape and size; and an outbound calling module for transmitting the provided client service information to the telephone network.
10. The system defined in Claim 9, additionally comprising a plurality of client service location files.
11. The system defined in Claim 10, wherein the real-time processing module utilizes the dialed number to select one of the client service location files corresponding to a client identified by the dialed number.
12. The system defined in Claim 10, wherein one of the client service location files comprises a plurality of records, each record having a client service location identification (ID) a telephone number, and a boundary description of the service area for the service location.
13. The system defined in Claim 12, wherein the boundary description of a polygonal service area comprises each vertex of a polygon.
14. The system defined in Claim 12, wherein the boundary description of a radius.defined service area comprises a center point and a radius.
15. The system defined in Claim 9, wherein the caller telephone comprises a mobile cellular telephone.
16. The system defined in Claim 9, wherein the caller telephone comprises a mobile personal communications system telephone.
17. The system defined in Claim 9, wherein the client service information comprises routing information so as to allow the call to be routed to the selected client service location.
18. The system defined in Claim 9, additionally comprising a voice response unit, wherein the voice response unit facilitates providing the client service information corresponding to the selected client service location to the telephone network.
19. The system defined in Claim 9, wherein the client service information comprises an identification (ID) corresponding to the selected client service location.
20. A real-time method of call processing for use in a mobile telephone network, the method comprising:

receiving a dialed telephone number and a caller spatial coordinate corresponding to an instantaneous location of a mobile caller telephone;

providing client service information corresponding to a selected service location in response to the dialed telephone number and the caller spatial coordinate, wherein the service location is selected if the caller spatial coordinate is included in a service area having a client-defined geographic configuration of substantially any desired shape and size; and transmitting the provided client service information to the telephone network.
21. The method defined in Claim 20, additionally comprising supplying a plurality of client service location files.
22. The method defined in Claim 21, wherein providing the client service information utilizes the dialed telephone number to select one of the client service location files corresponding to a client identified by the dialed telephone number.
23. The method defined in Claim 21, wherein one of the client service location files comprises a plurality of records, each record having a client service location identification (ID) a telephone number, and a boundary description of the service area for the service location.
24. The method defined in Claim 23, wherein the boundary description of a polygonal service area comprises each vertex of a polygon.
25. The method defined in Claim 23, wherein the boundary description of a radius-defined service area comprises a center point and a radius.
26. The method defined in Claim 20, wherein the caller telephone comprises a cellular telephone.
27. The method defined in Claim 20, wherein the caller telephone comprises a personal communications system telephone.
28. The method defined in Claim 20, wherein the client service information comprises routing information so as to allow the call to be routed to the selected client service location.
29. The method defined in Claim 20, wherein the client service information corresponding to the selected client service location is transmitted to the telephone network by a voice response unit.
30. The method defined in Claim 20, wherein the client service information comprises an identification (ID1 corresponding to the selected client service location.
