[asterisk-users] OT - GEOPRIV and location based SIP services

Please, apologize for not being very clear (side effects of new year eve).

Here is what I'm trying to do :

- I want to develop a web application offering click2call services : you
browse directory listing and call a contact simply clicking on its phone
number or extension.
- when a user log, I want the application to guess where the user is located
(from office, home, elsewhere).
- knowing user location, web application would be able to guess whether it
should preferably use your hardphone (when in the office) or your softphone
(anywhere else).

- When a user logs from his office PC, he uses his company's DHCP server
which can be tuned, I guess, to add location data to IP address requests.
- So basically, if the web application server can find and read this
location data, it can switch to Office mode. If it cannot find this location
data (when someone else provides IP addresses), it would default to Mobility
mode.

- Alternatively, this web application could simply ask users where they are
located, which media or dialing patterns should preferably be used.

Regards
