NEC will preview the tech next week at MWC and expect it to be commercially available by June 2012.

The solution analyses data to establish, for example, if the user is on a train, at a walking speed or stationary. The software then automatically recommends the most appropriate path for incoming calls, such as a standard ring, voice message or email.

"NEC's new solution facilitates smoother, less intrusive communications by automatically recommending the most appropriate contact method."
