SEAMLESS MOVEMENT OF ACTIVE MEDIA SESSIONS BETWEEN TWINNED COMMUNICATION DEVICES

摘要

A softphone application is provided that facilitates device switching between devices twinned therewith. In an aspect, a first device employing the softphone application generates a request to switch a media session between a second device and a third device to be between the first device and the third device and the softphone application sends, the request to an application server device associated with a cellular service provider identity. The request comprises a first identifier for the first device, a second identifier for the second device, and a device switch indicator. The request is configured to initiate a switch of the media session to being between the first device and the third device based on a determination that the first device and the second device are associated with a common mobile subscriber identity registered for an account associated with the cellular service provider identity.

1. A first device, comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions comprising a softphone application that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
employing the softphone application to generate a request to switch a media session between a second device and a third device to be between the first device and the third device; andsending, via the softphone application, the request to an application server device associated with a cellular service provider identity,wherein the request comprises a first identifier for the first device, a second identifier for the second device, and a device switch indicator, andwherein the request initiates a switch of the media session from being between the second device and the third device to being between the first device and the third device as a function of the device switch indicator and based on a determination that the first device and the second device are associated with a common mobile subscriber identity registered for an account associated with the cellular service provider identity.
