asterisk users - Jan 2008 - OT - GEOPRIV and location based SIP services

Hi,

I'm wondering whether or not it is achievable to build a web based
click2dial application that could automatically detect that a user is
connected from office or home.
Another option is to directly ask user or let them change default option but
having this automatically detected is a bonus.

Has anyone tried to build such location based SIP services ?

I've read few lines about GEOPRIV which seems to be a building block for
location based services but I could make sure if such DHCP extensions are
implemented somewhere.
Do you think GEOPRIV would help ?

Regards

Can you provide more details on what you are trying to do. Your
explanation is a bit confusing - sounds interesting but just want to
make sure I have your idea right.

Hi Oliver,

Linux Journal had an article about timezone handling in asterisk with
perlscript for checking the GeoIP database with the IP adr. from the
location db.

Maybe that could give you a clue how to solve your question.

The challange with GEOPRIV is that its rarely used so I would recomend
GeoIP, http://www.maxmind.com.
