Patent ID: 8073447

Claim:
A mobile device, comprising: a voice call continuity (VCC) status checker configured to, when the mobile device is communicating on a first call and a second call, determine a VCC status based upon VCC information stored in a memory of the mobile device, the VCC information indicative of whether to drop inactive calls during VCC related activities, wherein the VCC status checker is further configured to determine whether to initiate the VCC related activities based upon the VCC status, wherein the VCC related activities include disconnecting the second call if the first call is active and the second call is inactive, wherein if the VCC status prevents dropping the second call, the VCC status checker is configured to prevent the mobile device from initiating the VCC related activities, and wherein: the first call is connected via a circuit switched domain; the second call is connected via the circuit switched domain; and the VCC related activities further include attempting a domain transfer to a packet switched domain on the first call.
