METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING COMMUNICATION SESSIONS
First Claim
1. A computer-readable storage medium of a Serving Call Session Control Function (S-CSCF) operably coupled to an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem network, the storage medium comprising computer instructions to:
- receive at the S-CSCF an INVITE message associated with a call to a first communication device from a second communication device;
transmit from the S-CSCF the INVITE message to an application server and to the first communication device, the application server being operably connected with an Interactive Television (ITV) system;
receive at the S-CSCF a determination of satisfaction of an identification threshold performed by the application server based on the INVITE message; and
transmit from the S-CSCF a NOTIFY message to a set top box operably connected with the ITV system when the second communication device satisfies the identification threshold, the NOTIFY message comprising identification information associated with the second communication device.

Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a server operably couplable to an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network and an Interactive Television (ITV) system, where the server includes a controller to receive a session transfer request from a first communication device operably connected to the ITV system and presenting media content where the session transfer request includes identification information associated with a second communication device operably connected to the ITV system, and transmit an INVITE message to the second communication device and transmit a media adjustment message to a Media Resource Function Processor (MRFP) of the IMS network, where the media content is adjusted and transmitted to the second communication device based on receipt of the media adjustment message, where the adjusted media content is generated by the MRFP based on the identification information associated with the second communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
