A system and method recognize a context or environment, within which a mobile communication device is resides, without necessarily knowing the actual location of the mobile communication device. The system and method establish one or more communication rules for the mobile communication device based upon the recognized context.

Context awareness for a mobile communication device

A participant may join a conference call whenever a person specific attribute is read by an interrogator and verified as being authorized to participate in the call. The interrogator may be integrated into a telephone and manually activated or periodically activated. The attribute is an RFID tag, bar code, fingerprint, etc. Conference calls may be joined and rejoined when moving from room to room. Further, real-time participant lists may be accessed during the call and archived.

Conference call participant management system and method

A mobile communication device interrogates a tag on nearby communication-type equipment and in cooperation with a remote server causes a communication to be forwarded to the equipment. The mobile communication device may also interrogate a nearby tag and receive information from a remote server concerning a nearby object or activity.
