1. A method used to provide services in a network, comprising:
- storing a plurality of first location information items for a plurality of devices, each of the first location information items identifying a location of a respective device of the plurality of devices;
generating a second location information item that provides a location of a user;
automatically selecting at least two of the plurality of devices to be used by the user based on the generated second location information item and the stored plurality of first location information items; and
transmitting a status report offering services to be effected by the automatically selected devices to a device used by the user via the network such that the automatically selected devices define a composed device having a common address, each of the selected devices being an electronic device having a processor and non-transitory memory, the status report identifying the automatically selected devices; and
controlling communication requests and connection demands for a communication connection associated with the user so that different media streams of the communication connection are distributed via the network to the automatically selected devices via the common address such that each of the automatically selected devices receives a different media stream during the communication connection.

Abstract
In one aspect, a method used to determine services in a network is provided. For a plurality of devices, information pertaining to a location of the respective device is stored in a location information item. A location information item providing a location of a user is generated. At least one of the plurality of devices to be used by the user based on the generated location information item and to the stored location information items is automatically selecting; a status report is transmitted to a device used by the user, with the user being offered the use a service via the status report, the offered service effected by the selected device.

15. A device used to determine usable services for a user of a network, comprising:
-
a communication control comprising a processor and non-transitory memory, the communication control determining a first location information item that specifies a location of a user or a location of a communication partner of the user; the communication control using at least one stored second location information item to automatically select a plurality of devices to be used by the user based on the determined first location information item and the at least one stored second location information item; and the communication control generating a status report according to the selected devices, the status report offering a service useable via the selected devices so that different media streams of a communication connection are distributable to the automatically selected devices via a common address associated with the automatically selected devices such that each of the automatically selected devices receives a different media stream during the communication connection. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
