摘要： A call forwarding automation feature in a wireless telephone provides automated activation and deactivation of conventional carrier system call forwarding. The wireless telephone provides for storing multiple call forwarding telephone numbers, selecting a call forwarding telephone number based upon location information, automatically activating call forwarding to the selected telephone number during a wireless telephone power down sequence, and automatically deactivating the call forwarding during a wireless telephone power up sequence. Programming is also provided for configuring and enabling the call forwarding feature. In another embodiment, the wireless telephone automatically prompts the user for activation of call forwarding each time the user powers down the wireless telephone. The process also provides the user an ability to select from a list of stored call forwarding telephone numbers to use, as well as providing the user an ability to manually input a new telephone number. In this embodiment, the location information is used only to provide a suggested forwarding telephone number, rather than automatically activating call forwarding without user input during the power down sequence. If user input is not received during a defined time period in response to the prompt, the wireless telephone automatically activates call forwarding only if an automatic call forwarding time-out default option is enabled. The user is also automatically prompted each time the user powers up the wireless telephone to deactivate call forwarding if call forwarding is activated, and real-time idle mode automated call forwarding activation and deactivation are also provided.

摘要翻译： 无线电话中的呼叫转移自动化功能提供了常规载波系统呼叫转移的自动激活和去激活。 无线电话提供存储多个呼叫转接电话号码，基于位置信息选择呼叫转移电话号码，在无线电话断电序列期间自动激活到所选电话号码的呼叫转移，并且在无线电话期间自动停用呼叫转移 上电序列。 还提供编程以配置和启用呼叫转移功能。 在另一个实施例中，无线电话在每次用户关闭无线电话时自动提示用户激活呼叫转移。 该过程还为用户提供从存储的呼叫转移电话号码列表中选择使用的能力，以及为用户提供手动输入新电话号码的能力。 在该实施例中，位置信息仅用于提供建议的转发电话号码，而不是在断电序列期间自动激活呼叫转移而无需用户输入。 如果在指定时间段内没有收到用户输入以响应提示，无线电话仅在启用了自动呼叫转移超时默认选项时才自动激活呼叫转移。 每当用户启动无线电话时，如果呼叫转移被激活，用户也将自动提示用户停用呼叫转移，并且还提供实时空闲模式自动呼叫转移激活和停用。
