Abstract:
1. A mobile device configured to accommodate communications in two or more communication domains on a common network, the mobile device comprising: a processor for controlling operation of the mobile device, the processor having access to a memory comprising a set of stored domain definitions for the two or more communication domains, the domain definitions defining at least one criterion for categorizing a communication service request according to the two or more communication domains and defining restrictions on the use of services of the mobile device within at least one of the two or more communication domains; a communication subsystem for sending and receiving wireless communications and receiving incoming communication requests; a domain module resident in the memory for execution by the processor, the domain module being configured to determine a request domain of a communication service request according to the domain definitions, the request domain being one of the two or more communication domains of the mobile device, and the communication service request being one of an incoming communication request and a mobile device-initiated communication request; and a communication restriction module resident in the memory for execution by the processor, the communication restriction module being configured to determine a set of applicable restrictions from the set of communication restrictions based on the request domain, according to the domain definitions, and apply the set of applicable restrictions to the communication service request, wherein when two or more criteria for categorizing a given communication service request conflict, the two or more criteria are evaluated according to respective priorities of the two or more criteria and the request domain is determined in order of priority of the two or more criteria.
