| 20090086740 | Customer Premises Gateway providing User Devices with Access to Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Services and Non-IMS Services - A customer premises gateway includes a connection manager, a registration manager and data storage. The registration manager registers the user devices connected to the gateway at the customer premises and stores information for the registered user devices, including identities for the user devices, at the gateway. The connection manager is operable to provide Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) services and non-IMS services via a broadband network to the user devices connected to the gateway. The connection manager is also operable to provide the IMS services and non-IMS services to the registered devices based on the information stored for the registered user devices. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090132712 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SESSION MOBILITY BETWEEN END USER COMMUNICATION DEVICES - A method and system for providing session mobility between end user communication devices, such as between session initiation protocol (SIP) devices and universal plug and play (UPnP) devices. The session mobility methods and systems make use of a session manager, which can be part of a bridge coupled between the communication devices involved in a communication session, that allows the session to be moved to another end user communication device. The session manager controls the transfer of communication sessions between the end user communication devices. The session manager also is configured to control and manage the addition of end user communication devices to existing sessions between communication devices. As part of this session mobility between communication devices, the session manager can create a virtual device within the bridge to represent an actual communication device that is communicating with a different communication device in a different domain within the communication session. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20090164433 | Method and System for Managing Search Results in a Communication Network - The present invention provides a method for managing persistent search query in a communication network ( | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090175296 | Extensible System and Method to Bridge SIP and UPnP Devices - Embodiments of the invention generally provide a method and apparatus for bridging session initiation protocol and universal plug and play devices. One embodiment of the invention specifies a method that enables legacy session initiation protocol and universal plug and play devices to communicate with each other (i.e., to access services), where the term “legacy” is defined to mean IETF RFC 3261-compliant for session initiation protocol devices, and DLNA 1.0-compliant for universal plug and play devices. The method enables inter-working between the session initiation protocol and universal plug and play devices without requiring changes to the legacy devices. One embodiment of the invention is a transparent software bridge that enables these features. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090197594 | System and Method for Fixed Mobile Convergence Using a Residential Gateway Apparatus - A system and method for providing call mobility for a dual-mode phone between a cellular network and a home wireless network for a dual-mode phone having a cellular identity and a home identity, wherein the home identity is active when the dual-mode phone is in communication with the home wireless network. The system comprises a residential gateway to connect the home wireless network to a public network, and a VoIP service provider in communication with a mobile switching center on the cellular network and the public network. After placing or receiving a call, the dual-mode phone sends a signal to the residential gateway to initiate the movement of the call between the cellular network and the home wireless network while the call is ongoing. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20100011099 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MONITORING AND LOGGING COMMUNICATION SESSIONS - Embodiments of the invention generally provide a method and apparatus for logging and monitoring communication sessions terminating and originating in a home network. One embodiment of a method for monitoring a communication session within a home network includes routing the communication session to a device in the home network via a residential gateway, the residential gateway being equipped with Universal Plug and Play and Session Initiation Protocol capabilities, and storing data related to the communication session in a database coupled to the residential gateway. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100138900 | REMOTE ACCESS OF PROTECTED INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP)-BASED CONTENT OVER AN IP MULTIMEDIA SUBSYSTEM (IMS)-BASED NETWORK - A service control method, device and system for allowing secure, remote access of protected IP-based content delivered over an IMS-based network to one or more devices within a home network. The method involves a remote access device transmitting a remote access request to a service control application in the IMS-based network, the service control application authorizing the remote access request based on a number of criteria, and forwarding the remote access request to the home network. The forwarded remote access request includes information that allows protected content requested by the remote access request to be transmitted from a home network device in the home network to the remote access device upon appropriate verification of the remote access device by the home network device using home network device DRM schemes. Remote access of the protected content can be allowed by relaxing proximity restriction requirements of the home network. | 06-03-2010 |
