System and method of remotely de-registering devices in IMS system
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving an instruction initiated remotely from a first user device having a registered public user identity that is transferable between user devices, wherein the registered public user identity comprises network address data for a user that is independent of a phone number of a device, the instruction defining a de-registration action for the registered public user identity at a second user device in an internet protocol multimedia subsystem when the first user device is beyond a vicinity threshold of the second user device for a defined period of time;
performing the de-registration action to de-register the registered public user identity associated with the second user device in the internet protocol multimedia subsystem;
wherein the user devices comprises contact addresses at which the public user identity is registered and wherein a same serving call/session control function is used and established until the last registered public user identity has been de-registered from all contact addresses of the user devices; and
routing a communication to at least one of the first user device and the second user device based on a classification of an originator of the communication, wherein the classification is defined by the user.

Abstract
Disclosed are a network-based device, method and computer-readable medium for operating a network device in an IP multimedia subsystem. The method embodiment includes receiving an instruction for a de-registration action for a Public User ID (PUID) registered at a device in the IMS, the instruction being initiated remotely from a device different from the device to which the de-registration applies and performing the de-registration action wherein the PUID is de-registered from the device in the IMS network.
