MEDIA ESCALATION WITH USE OF ENDPOINT ADAPTER

摘要

An endpoint adaptor and methods of operating the same are provided. The endpoint adaptor provides a single persistent view of a mobile communication device to a network and network-based applications. Moreover, the ability to leverage the endpoint adapter to transition a communication session to include additional media types while the communication session is in-progress is also disclosed.

1. A method, comprising:
registering a first communication module of a communication device with an endpoint adapter, the first communication module registering with the endpoint adapter via a first communication network that uses a first addressing schema to contact the communication device; enabling a communication session to occur while the first communication module is registered with the endpoint adapter, the communication session utilizing a first media type that is supported by the first communication network; registering a second communication module of the communication device with the endpoint adapter, the second communication module registering with the endpoint adapter via a second communication network that uses a second addressing schema to contact the communication device; and after the second communication module has registered with the endpoint adapter, utilizing the second communication module to add a second media type to the communication session while the communication session is in-progress.
