A system and method for distributing session initiation protocol (SIP) content to Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) devices in a local network. The system and method employ, for example, a SIP user agent (UA) and a UPnP media server (MS) that can communicate with each other so that when the SIP UA receives SIP content from a remote SIP terminal, the SIP UA and UPnP MS cooperate to enable the UPnP MS to create an object so as to provide the object including the content to a rendering device in the local network. Similarly, when a device on the local network sends an object to the UPnP MS, the UPnP MS and SIP UA cooperate to enable the SIP UA to send the content of the object as SIP content to a remote SIP terminal.

Generic messaging and protocols are provided for handset-to-handset communications in accordance with, for example, the Secure User Plane Location (SUPL) protocol. A mobile device initiates a geolocation-related session with a second mobile device by sending a message, including a payload, to a server (e.g., an H-SLP server) over a network. A data connection is the established between the second mobile device and the server in response to the message. A message, including the payload, is then sent to the second mobile device. The payload may include geolocation (e.g., GPS) information, such that two mobile devices may collaboratively share information regarding the other's geographical location.
