Abstract: An IP telephony service allows customers to form user groups. Each user group can include multiple telephony devices that are associated with one or more users. One or more group identifiers would be associated with each user group. When an incoming communication is directed to a user group, a group identifier is used to retrieve a list of the members of the group, or a list of devices that correspond to the members of the user group. The communication is then sent to one or more members of the group, or to one or more of the devices that correspond to members of the user group. Handling preferences may determine how the incoming communication is delivered. In some instances, the incoming communication could be a telephone call. In other instances, the incoming communication could be a SMS message or an instant message.

Abstract translation: IP电话服务允许客户组成用户组。 每个用户组可以包括与一个或多个用户相关联的多个电话设备。 一个或多个组标识符将与每个用户组相关联。 当进入的通信被定向到用户组时，使用组标识符来检索组的成员的列表或与用户组的成员对应的设备的列表。 然后将通信发送到该组的一个或多个成员，或者发送到对应于用户组成员的一个或多个设备。 处理偏好可以确定传入通信的传送方式。 在某些情况下，进入的通信可以是电话呼叫。 在其他情况下，传入通信可以是SMS消息或即时消息。

Abstract: A IP telephony service allows customers to form user groups. Each user group can include multiple members, each of whom have their own telephony device. A group identifier is assigned to each user group. When an incoming communication directed to the user group identifier is received by the service, the service obtains handling instructions for the user group that specify how the incoming communication is to be terminated to the members of the user group. The service then terminates the incoming communication to one or more members of the user group based on those handling instructions.
