1. A device comprising:
- a controller; and
memory for storing collected network data, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the controller cause the controller to effectuate operations comprising;
analyzing the collected network data;
monitoring a location of a mobile device, to or from which a presentation of content is to be switched, within a communications network;
detecting a change in the monitored location of the mobile device;
responsive to detecting the change in the monitored location of the mobile device;
determining a relative direction of motion of the mobile device relative to another device;
based on the determined relative direction of motion of the mobile device, determining an appropriate time for switching the presentation of content;
identifying others that will be impacted by switching the presentation of content;
determining an impact on the others of the switching of the presentation of the content;
determining a ramification on the others of the switching of the presentation of the content;
identifying a change in a system state within the communications network;
determining active services other than the current active service being provided to the user that may be impacted by the determined switch;
determining network capacity and utilization;
based on the determined relative direction of motion, the determined appropriate time, the collected network data, the determined impact, the determined ramification, the identified change in a system state, the determined active services that may be impacted, and the determined network capacity and utilization, determining whether to perform a switch of the presentation of the content from a first media presentation screen on the mobile device to a second media presentation screen on the other device, or from the second media presentation screen on the other device to the first media presentation screen on the mobile device; and
performing the determined switch of the presentation of the content to or from the first media presentation screen on the mobile device.

Abstract
Devices, methods and computer-readable media for providing control of switching of an interactive session in a communications network. Content may be switched between media presentation screens. Collected data is analyzed and a location of a user within the communications network is monitored. A presentation of a first screen the user is watching may be exchanged for a presentation of a second screen selected based upon a change in the location of a monitored user and the analysis of the collected data.
