Methods, apparatus, and computer programs for automatic detection and registration of IP multimedia devices situated in a customer device zone
First Claim
1. A method for providing encrypted data to an internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS)-capable device, the method comprising:
- automatically detecting the IMS-capable device when the device is situated in a customer device zone comprising a spatial volume within which a signal transmitted by the IMS-capable device can be received and a signal not transmitted by the IMS-capable device can be received by the IMS-capable device;
in response to automatic detection of the IMS-capable device, transmitting a security key to the IMS-capable device so as to enable the IMS-capable device to decode the encrypted data; and
registering the IMS-capable device with an IP media subsystem by receiving one or more device attributes transmitted by the IMS-capable device in response to the IMS-capable device receiving the security key, the device attributes specifying at least one of a media type, device type, or password for the IMS-capable device.

Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and computer programs for providing encrypted data to an internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS)-capable device. The device is automatically detected when the device is situated in a customer device zone. The customer device zone comprises a spatial volume within which a signal transmitted by the device can be received, and a signal not transmitted by the device can be received by the device. In response to automatic detection of the device, a security key is transmitted to the device so as to enable the device to decode the encrypted data. The device is registered with an IP media subsystem by receiving one or more device attributes transmitted by the device in response to the device receiving the security key. The device attributes specify at least one of a media type, device type, or password for the device.
