Patent ID: 7653380

Claim:
A terminal device comprising: logic to detect an incoming call on a wireless device, logic to automatically reference an active profile of a plurality of named profiles stored by the wireless device to determine a technique for communicating a response message to the incoming call, logic to automatically communicate the response message to a caller using the determined technique, where the communication technique is selected from among two or more of voice message, email, instant messaging, SMS, or MMS, and logic to send a wireless signal to a network to alter the determined technique for communicating a response as a result of at least one of changes to the active profile of a plurality of named profiles stored by the wireless device and selection of a different active profile of the plurality of named profiles stored by the wireless device, the wireless signal received by a base station controller on the network which sends a second signal to a mobile switching center where the active profile is stored according to the logic, the wireless signal instructing the network to intercept calls to determine whether the response message should be sent directly to a sending device of the incoming call without forwarding the incoming call to the terminal device according to the logic.
