Method and devices for enabling a multi-mode device to establish a session through multiple networks
First Claim
1. A method for enabling a multi-mode device to establish a session through multiple networks in a communication system, the method comprising:
- registering, at the same time, each of a plurality of sub-clients of a single multi-mode device with a single application server, wherein each sub-client is separately registered with the application server through a different network, using a different individual logical identity sent to the application server over a connection formed by a transceiver in the multi-mode device, wherein the individual logical identities are separate from physical contact addresses used on the networks, and the individual logical identities cause the sub-clients to register with the application server as different devices;
detecting an invitation including session parameters to establish a session using the single application server; and
selecting at least one of the sub-clients to process the invitation based on the session parameters to establish the session through the networks corresponding to the selected sub-clients.

Abstract
A method, device, and computer-readable storage element enables a multi-mode device to establish a session through multiple networks in a communication system. The method includes registering, at the same time, each of a plurality of sub-clients of a single multi-mode device with a single application server, wherein each sub-client is separately registered through a different network, using an individual logical identity. The method further includes detecting an invitation including session parameters to establish a session using the single application server, and selecting at least one of the sub-clients to process the invitation based on the session parameters to establish the session through the networks corresponding to the selected sub-client.

14. A multi-mode device comprising:
-
a single physical housing having housed therein; at least one transceiver; a processing device coupled to the transceiver and programmed to perform a method comprising; registering, at the same time, each of a plurality of sub-clients of the single multi-mode device with a single application server, wherein each sub-client is separately registered with the application server through a different network, using a different individual logical identity sent to the application server over a connection formed by the at least one transceiver in the multi-mode device, wherein the individual logical identities are separate from physical contact addresses used on the networks, and the individual logical identities cause the sub-clients to register with the application server as different devices; detecting an invitation including session parameters to establish a session using the single application server; and selecting at least one of the sub-clients to process the invitation based on the session parameters to establish the session through the networks corresponding to the selected sub-clients. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage element having computer readable code stored thereon for programming a computer to perform a method for enabling a multi-mode device to establish a session through multiple networks in a communication system, the method comprising:
-
registering, at the same time, each of a plurality of sub-clients of a single multi-mode device with a single application server, wherein each sub-client is separately registered with the application server through a different network, using a different individual logical identity sent to the application server over a connection formed by a transceiver in the multi-mode device, wherein the individual logical identities are separate from physical contact addresses used on the networks, and the individual logical identities cause the sub-clients to register with the application server as different devices; detecting an invitation including session parameters to establish a session using the single application server; and selecting at least one of the sub-clients to process the invitation based on the session parameters to establish the session through the networks corresponding to the selected sub-clients.
