An apparatus and mechanism to manage multi-modal real-time or quasi real-time sessions such as voice, video, instant messaging, or web-conferencing across multiple devices through a simple subscription to a session management service. A user can subscribe to the service from many devices (e.g. mobile device, desk phone, personal computer, internet appliance, internet TV, communication terminal, etc.) and through the service seamlessly move sessions back and forth between subscribed devices. In a preferred embodiment, a user utilizes a 'virtual slider' in a simple “two touch” procedure to effectuate the movement of a communication session from one device to another device via the service.

Method and apparatus for controlling sessions from one or more devices

An apparatus and mechanism to subscribe to a single address and or session management service from multiple devices (such as e.g. tablets, smart phones, netbooks or other types of communication terminals or client devices) with a single account and password through the automatic assignment of a dynamic opaque service profile to each device a user uses to sign in to the service. After sign-in transparent call management services are provided to the user and allow the user to control sessions on any signed-in device from any signed-in device without revealing the distinct dynamic opaque service profiles to the user.

An apparatus and mechanism to subscribe to a single address and or session management service from multiple devices (such as e.g. tablets, smart phones, netbooks or other types of communication terminals or client devices) with a single account and password through the automatic assignment of a dynamic opaque SIP service profile to each device a user uses to signin to the service. After sign-in transparent call management services are provided to the user and allow the user to control sessions on any signed-in device from any signed-in device without revealing the distinct dynamic opaque SIP service profiles to the user.

A method and apparatus include a first server that communicates with a second server to cause a call back request to be communicated to an endpoint so that the endpoint can initiate a call back connection with the first server or a third server. Such a call back connection may occur near real time or in substantially real time so that updates can be supplied to an endpoint running an application supported by the server quickly and efficiently. The endpoint may register with the second server such that the second server is able to utilize notification messages for providing call back request information to the endpoint to advise the endpoint of a call back request.
