Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a computer-readable storage medium in a telephone having computer instructions to execute a web server application in the telephone. The web server application can be operable to detect an incoming plain old telephone service call, identify a calling party identifier from the incoming plain old telephone service call, and direct one of a plurality of devices detected by web server application to present the calling party identifier. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A non-transitory, machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system of a communication device including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- detecting media resources available on a wireless network;
- presenting, on a user interface of the communication device, information about the media resources;
- receiving an indication to initiate communication of an outgoing call from the communication device;
- initiating a web server application in the communication device responsive to receiving the indication to initiate the outgoing call in the communication device;
- transmitting, via the web server application, a message to a remote server by way of a gateway assigned to a first internet protocol (IP) address, wherein the message comprises an identifier of a software application of the communication device and a second IP address associated with the software application;
- initiating the software application to establish communication services between the communication device and a media processor;
- authenticating the communication device with the media processor, wherein the authenticating comprises communicating authentication data from the communication device to the media processor;
- and
- after the authenticating of the communication device, media communication between the communication device and the media processor is enabled.
