Home hub for IP multimedia subsystem (IMS)/Web services interaction

A non-transitory, tangible computer-readable medium comprising computer program instructions executable by a processor, the computer program instructions when executed by the processor for performing operations comprising:

• registering, by a data communication gateway, identifying information obtained on behalf of one or more client computing device(s) to an operator of a SIP-based network outside of the data communication gateway, and the client computing device(s) not being Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) enabled;
• replying, from outside of the SIP-based network, to SIP messages using the identifying information registered on behalf of the client computing device(s) to continue to process previous SIP request(s) and provide the client computing device(s) with corresponding SIP-based service(s);
• discovering non-SIP enabled client computing device(s)' SIP service receipt capabilities;
• and
• using discovered device capabilities, forwarding request(s) to only specific SIP service capable device(s) of the one or more non-SIP enabled client computing devices, the request(s) corresponding to SIP request(s) received from a SIP-enabled network.

A data communication gateway comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the memory comprising computer program instructions executable by the processor, the computer program instructions when executed by the processor for performing operations comprising:
• registering, by a data communication gateway, identifying information obtained on behalf of one or more client computing device(s) to an operator of a SIP-based network outside of the data communication gateway;
• and
• replying, from outside of the SIP-based network, to SIP messages using the identifying information registered on behalf of the client computing device(s) to continue to process previous SIP request(s) and provide the client computing device(s) with corresponding SIP-based service(s);
