1. A communication terminal for restoring a multiple call session after a fault, comprising:
- a user interface including an input device and an output device;
a network interface coupling the communication terminal to a network including multiple access terminals associated with multiple calls of the multiple call session; and
a processor coupled to the user interface and the network interface, the processor configured to;
transmit a request to a server in the network, the request including a user identifier associated with a user of the communication terminal, the request for a state of the multiple call session associated with the user identifier prior to the fault;
receive a response from the server including the state of the multiple call session associated with the user identification, the state displayed on the output device, the displayed state including individual states of the multiple calls of the multiple call session; and
restore the multiple call session on the communication terminal based on the state of the multiple call session and based on input received from the input device.

Abstract
Methods, systems and devices are provided for restoring a multiple call session. A communication terminal can restore a multiple call session after a fault. A network interface can couple the terminal to a network including multiple access terminals associated with the multiple call session. A request for a state of the multiple call session can be transmitted and received by a server in the network. A response including the state can be received. The multiple call session can be restored based on the state of the multiple call session and other information.

9. A server for restoring a multiple call session in a communication network after a fault, comprising:
-
a call host coupled to multiple access terminals associated with the multiple call session; a gateway coupled to the call host and to a communication terminal; and a cache coupled to the call host and the gateway, the cache configured to store state information associated with the multiple call session; wherein the server is configured to; receive a request from the communication terminal including a user identifier associated with a user of the communication terminal, the request for a state of the multiple call session associated with the user identifier; and transmit the state to the communication terminal; restore the multiple call session with the call host and ones of the multiple access terminals based on input received from the communication terminal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of recovering a multiple call session after a fault in a communication terminal, the method comprising:
-
processing a request for a state of the multiple call session, the request including a user identifier associated with the multiple call session and the communication terminal, the multiple call session including multiple calls among the communication terminal and multiple access terminals through a network; transmitting the request to a server in the network, the request including the user identifier associated with a user of the communication terminal, the request for the state of the multiple call session associated with the user identifier prior to the fault; receiving a response from the server including the state of the multiple call session associated with the user identification, the state including individual states of the multiple calls of the multiple call session; and selectively recovering ones of the multiple calls of the multiple call session based on information included with the request and the response to the request including the state of the multiple call session. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. An apparatus for restoring a multiple call session after a fault, comprising:
-
means for processing a request for a state of the multiple call session the request including a user identifier associated with the multiple call session and a communication terminal, the multiple call session including multiple calls among the communication terminal and multiple access terminals through a network; means for transmitting the request to a server in the network, the request including a user identifier associated with a user of the communication terminal, the request for a state of the multiple call session associated with the user identifier prior to the fault; means for receiving a response from the server including the state of the multiple call session associated with the user identification, the state including individual states of the multiple calls of the multiple call session; and means for selectively recovering ones of the multiple calls of the multiple call session based on information included with the request and the response to the request including the state of the multiple call session. - View Dependent Claims (25)
