Abstract
Solutions are proposed to enable a seamless handover/handback of a communication between a docked state and an undocked state. The transfer is effected by performing a transfer between a docked persona of a user and an undocked persona of that same user. By utilizing certain SIP transfer mechanisms or H.323 bridged-appearances, in-progress call sessions and media can be sustained during handover and/or handback.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining that a first communication device is transitioning from a wired state to a wireless state;
- during the transition, tunneling communication packets transmitted to or from the first communication device via a communication channel established for the wired state;
- determining that the first communication device has completed its transition from the wired state to the wireless state;
- and
- after the first communication device has been determined to have completed its transition from the wired state to the wireless state, routing communication packets transmitted to or from the first communication device via a wireless communication channel established for the wireless state and discontinuing tunneling of communication packets transmitted to or from the first communication device via the communication channel established for the wired state.

2 more elements
A communication system, comprising:
- a first communication device configured to engage in communication sessions with far-end communication devices in a wired, a wireless state, and transitions between the wired and wireless states, wherein a first communication channel is utilized by the first communication device in a wired state, wherein a second communication channel is utilized by the first communication device in a wireless state, and wherein during transitions between the wired and wireless state communication packets are tunneled to a hand-held portion of the first communication device over at least one of a network backend and an alternative communication channel established for transitions between the wired and wireless state.
