Embodiment Construction

[0015] The present invention provides a method and terminal for providing IPTV to multiple IMS users without restarting a browser when switching between users. Full IMS functionality is also maintained.

[0016] In an example embodiment, the browser is launched on a family or group subscription account and the browser never changes accounts. The browser connects to the portal, which keeps track of all individual accounts under the group subscription and controls switching between users in the group in a manner transparent to the browser. This enables a PIN code (typically a simple 4 digit number) to control the group subscription at the entrance. Additional advantages are explained below.

[0017] In one embodiment, an application programming interface (API) is introduced into the browser based on, for example, javascript properties and methods. The API controls local object codes to register different users to IMS. Thus, the group subscription accounts are always logged i...

Abstract

A method and terminal for providing Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and other communication services to a group of users, such as a family, using an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network. A group private user identity is associated with a group public user identity and with a plurality of individual public user identities, each of which is associated with a different user in the group. Utilizing the group private User ID and the group public User ID, a browser registers a group subscription with the IMS network. When an individual user enters an identifier such as a PIN, the individual is then registered with the IMS network, while maintaining the group registration with the IMS network and the IPTV network. Individual users can be changed without having to restart the browser.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to communication systems. More specifically and without limitation, the present invention relates to a method and a terminal for providing Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and other services to a plurality of users of an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network. Background technique [0002] Traditionally, IPTV is delivered to the home through a broadband connection from the IPTV service provider to a set-top box (STB) connected to the television. The STB includes a browser and all IPTV features are controlled through the browser interface. Therefore, the IPTV delivery process is browser-centric. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) user agent in the STB adapts IPTV to IMS requirements. [0003] The problem with adapting IPTV to IMS is that browsers currently have no concept of an individual IMS user. Thus, in the case of user groups, such as a family with a family subscription with different user accounts for each fa...
