Endpoint location update control for call routing decisions

Abstract:

A Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) endpoint device is configured to interface with a VoIP server provides VoIP services to a plurality of VoIP-capable endpoint devices. The VoIP endpoint device includes at least one computer processor circuit and memory circuit that are configured to receive current geolocation data. The VoIP endpoint device retrieves previously-reported geolocation data from the memory circuit and determines, based upon the previously-reported geolocation data and the current geolocation data, that a mismatch trigger event has occurred. The VoIP endpoint device sends, in response to the determining, the current geolocation data from the particular endpoint device to the VoIP server. The current geolocation data is stored in the memory circuit.
