Abstract:
1. A method of processing a call from a remote terminal to mobile terminal, comprising: determining a plurality of risk assessment states for a defined geographic zone, each risk assessment state reflecting a potential degree of user risk associated with using the mobile terminal to engage in a communications session within the defined geographic zone, each risk assessment state being determined at least in part based on a degree of motion of the mobile terminal and additional criteria, the plurality of risk assessment states including at least: assessing, by call routing logic implemented by a feature logic module, a degree of motion of the mobile terminal, wherein the call routing logic is communications network based logic that assesses a state of a mobile terminal and instructs network components on the routing of calls; determining, by the call routing logic, a risk assessment state of the mobile terminal, the determined risk assessment state corresponding to one of the determined plurality of risk assessment states; and determining by the call routing logic, whether to route the call to risk mitigation logic implemented by a feature logic module based at least in part on the determined risk assessment state of the mobile terminal, wherein the risk mitigation logic is network based logic that executes risk mitigation routines in response to a determined risk assessment state of a mobile terminal, wherein the routing of the call to the risk mitigation logical module does not cause a modification of call functionality of the mobile terminal, and wherein:
