Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and terminal device for handling a suspended network state, wherein the end of a suspended network state is detected and subscription to a state event package is initiated in response to the detected end of suspension. Based on information given in a response to the subscription, registrations of user identities are updated. Thereby, the registration state of the user and the user's identities can always be kept actual, even after a suspension of the network connection.
Claims24
A method of handling a suspended network state, said method comprising the steps of:
- a) detecting an end of a suspended network state;
- b) subscribing to registration state information in response to the detected end of said suspended network;
- c) checking a response to said subscription step;
- and
- d) updating registration states of user identities based on information given in said response.
A terminal device for handling a suspended network state, said terminal device comprising:
- a) packet connection control means for maintaining state information of a packet connection, and configured to generate an indication of an end of suspension in said packet connection;
- b) requesting means for requesting registration state information of at least one user identity in response to a detection of said indication;
- and
- c) determining means for determining registration states of said at least one user identity based on a response to a request by the requesting means.
A computer program product executable by a digital computer, embodied on a computer readable storage medium, whereby, when said computer program product is executed by a digital computer, the following steps are performed:
- detecting an end of a suspended network state;
- subscribing to registration state information in response to the detected end of said suspended network;
- checking a response to said subscription step;
- and
- updating registration states of user identities based on information given in said response.
A terminal device for handling a suspended network state, said terminal device comprising:
- a packet connection controller configured to maintain state information of a packet connection, and configured to generate an indication of an end of suspension in said packet connection;
- a requestor configured to request registration state information of at least one user identity in response to a detection of said indication;
- and
- a registration state determinator configured to determine registration states of said at least one user identity based on a response to a request by the requesting means.
