Abstract
The present invention provides a method for routing a telephone call based on a calendar telephony interface. The method can include parsing telephone data associated with the telephone call, and determining from the parsed telephone data, a called telephone number and an identity of a person associated with the called number. The method further can include retrieving an XML formatted calendar entry associated with the identified person and extracting call control information from the XML formatted calendar entry. Accordingly, the telephone call based on the extracted routing information can be routed.
