Methods for coordinating communications between a plurality of communication devices of a user
First Claim
1. A method for coordinating communications between a plurality of communication devices of a user, the method comprising:
- detecting an active communication session on a primary communication device having user engagement;
determining a set of secondary communication devices in proximity to the user using one or more proximity detection components;
detecting an interruption event received at the primary communication device during the active communication session, the interruption event including a second communication session or a communication event that is not a part of the active communication session; and
determining that a first secondary communication device, in the set of secondary communication devices, has capability to process the interruption event, and transferring the interruption event to the first secondary communication device wherein the interruption event is processed by the first secondary communication device as the active communication session continues on the primary communication device.

Abstract
A communication device performs a method for coordinating communications between a plurality of communication devices of a user. The method includes detecting an active communication session on a primary communication device having user engagement, and determining a set of secondary communication devices in proximity to the user. The method further includes detecting an interruption event, at the primary communication device, during the active communication session. Additionally, the method includes determining that a first secondary communication device, in the set of secondary communication devices, has capability to process the interruption event, and transferring the interruption event to the first secondary communication device.

18. A method for coordinating communications between a plurality of communications devices of a user, the method comprising:
-
determining that a plurality of communication devices are in proximity to a user using one more proximity detection components; determining a primary communication device of the plurality of communication devices, wherein the primary communication device is in focus of the user and is engaged in a first communication event, wherein the remaining communication devices in the plurality of communication devices are secondary communication devices; receiving an interruption event for the primary communication device, the interruption event including a second communication event or a communication session that is not a part of the first communication event; transferring the interruption event to a first one of the secondary communication devices determined to have capability to process the interruption event, wherein the interruption event is processed by the first secondary communication device as the primary communication device is engaged in the first communication event; receiving context information from the primary communication device for the first communication event; receiving an indication of a new primary communication device in focus of the user, wherein the new primary communication device is one of the secondary communication devices; and transferring the context information to the new primary communication device to enable the new primary communication device to engage in the first communication event. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)

22. A method for coordinating communications between a plurality of communication devices of a user, the method comprising:
-
determining that a secondary communication device is in proximity to the user using one or more proximity detection components and that a primary communication device is in focus of the user and engaged in a first communication session; receiving an interruption event at the primary communication device, the interruption event including a second communication session or communication event that is not a part of the first communication session; transferring the interruption event to the secondary communication device, wherein the interruption event is processed by the secondary communication device as the primary communication device is engaged in the first communication session; receiving and storing context information for the first communication session on the primary communication device; detecting that the secondary communication device is in focus of the user; and continuing the first communication session on the secondary communication device using the context information. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26)
