US 2017/0325054 A1 · Methods And Systems For Service Transfer

Abstract

Methods and systems for service transfer are disclosed. An example method can comprise receiving a service at a first/current user device, detecting a movement of the first user device, determining a direction of the movement, and requesting the service be provided to a second/target user device in the direction of the movement. Service can be a communication session, network access, video service, audio service, short message service, multimedia message service, and the like. The movement of a user device can be detected by one or more sensors implemented in the user device. For example, to enable a service transfer, a user can point the first user device to a second user device. The pointing can be achieved, for example, by moving the first user device to the direction of the second user device at certain speed.

receiving, by a first device, a multimedia service from a second device;
updating registration information for at least one of the first device and a third device to reflect a change in a position of at least one of the first device and the third device;
detecting, by a sensor of the first device, a movement of the first device;
determining a direction of the movement;
determining that the movement indicates an intent to transfer the multimedia service from the first device to the third device based on the registration information and the direction of the movement;
