Methods, systems, and apparatus for routing user communication data to a user associated with at least a first user device and a second user device operable in a communication system, including proxying a data message between the first user device and a presence server, extracting, from the data message, information indicative of an availability of the user, and routing user communication data to at least one of the first user device and the second user device based at least in part on the extracted information.

Enhanced presence detection for routing decisions

The present invention discloses a method, program product and system for facilitating efficient development and deployment of features in a voice over internet protocol telephony system comprising protocol specific equipment. The method and program product comprise: developing a feature for deployment in the telephony system using a developer protocol, the developer protocol being independent of any specific VoIP protocol, and performing communication protocol conversion between the developer protocol and a specific VoIP protocol used by the telephony system on feature-related messages in order to communicate with the protocol specific equipment. The system comprises: a feature performance layer for performing telephony features, the feature performance layer being independent of any specific VoIP protocol used by the protocol specific equipment, and a communication interface layer interfacing with the feature performance layer to provide communication protocol conversion between the feature performance layer and the protocol specific telephony equipment.
