Multimode Customer Premises Gateway Providing Access to Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) Services and Non-IMS Service
First Claim
1. A multimode customer premises gateway supporting multiple different types of telecommunications signaling protocols to allow different types of user devices to connect to the gateway, the gateway comprising:
- a connection manager configured to provide a non-Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) user device connected to the gateway with access to an IMS service using an IP multimedia services identity module (ISIM) for the gateway; and
a protocol converter translating information between at least two different protocols, including an IMS protocol and a non-IMS protocol, to enable the connection manager to provide the non-IMS user device with access to the IMS service;
wherein the connection manager is also configured to provide an IMS user device connected to the gateway with access to the IMS service using the ISIM for the gateway and to provide the non-IMS user device with access to a non-IMS service.

Abstract
A multimode customer premises gateway supports multiple different types of telecommunications signaling protocols to allow different types of user devices to connect to the gateway and access both Internet Protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS), and non-IMS services. The gateway includes a connection manager configured to provide a non-IMS user device connected to the gateway with access to an IMS service using an IP multimedia services identity module (ISIM) for the gateway. A protocol converter translates information between an IMS protocol and a non-IMS protocol to enable the connection manager to provide the non-IMS device with access to the IMS service. The connection manager is also configured to provide an IMS user device with access to the IMS service and to provide a non-IMS user device with access to a non-IMS service.

10. A method of using a multimode customer premises gateway supporting multiple different telecommunications signaling to provide access to an IMS service and a non-IMS service, the method comprising:
-
storing information for user devices connected to the gateway at the gateway; accessing the IMS service using an ISIM for the gateway; and enabling a non-IMS user device to access the IMS service using the stored information for the user device and using the ISIM for the gateway; translating between a non-IMS protocol and an IMS protocol to enable a non-IMS user device to access the IMS service via the gateway using the stored information for the user device and using the ISIM for the gateway; providing an IMS user device with access to the IMS service via the gateway using the stored information for the IMS user device and the ISIM for the gateway; and providing the non-IMS user device with access to a non-IMS service via the gateway. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A computer readable medium upon which is embedded programmed instructions which when executed by a processor will cause the processor to perform a method of using a multimode customer premises gateway supporting multiple different telecommunications signaling to provide access to an IMS service and a non-IMS service, the method comprising:
-
storing information for user devices connected to the gateway at the gateway; originating the IMS service using an ISIM for the gateway and a subscription for the IMS service; providing a non-IMS user device of the user devices connected to the gateway with access to the IMS service using the ISIM and an IMS subscription for the gateway and by translating between a non-IMS protocol and an IMS protocol to allow the non-IMS user device to send and receive information for the IMS service via the gateway; providing an IMS user device of the IMS user devices with access to the IMS service via the gateway using the ISIM and the IMS subscription for the gateway; and providing the non-IMS user device with access to a non-IMS service via the gateway. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
