SERVICE MOBILITY FOR COMPOSED COMPONENTS
First Claim
1. A process for migrating components for a user terminal among platforms comprising:
- constructing a model of a target structure of components among one or more platforms; and
coordinating handover of components between the platforms while preserving the state of the components.

Abstract
A system and method for exchanging components between platforms is described. As a user terminal changes location or preferences, the user terminal may be provided with a new platform that supports desired services. A method and system that relates to migrating one or more components that provide composite services from one communication platform to another is described. A user terminal may receive one or more composite services provided by two or more components existing on platform. As the user terminal switches from one platform to another, the platforms attempt to provide the same services to the user with little to no interruption. Various aspects relate to shifting one or more components from the first platform to the second platform to provide local support for the services desired by the user terminal.

19. A system for handling migration of components from a first platform to a second platform comprising:
-
a first component on the first platform; a second component on the first platform; and a user terminal receiving a composite service from the combination of said first and second components, wherein at least one of the first component and the second component migrates to the second platform and provides said composite service to said user terminal using said at least one of the first component and the second component located on the second platform. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
