Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to provide messages to consumer electronics devices are disclosed. An example method includes determining an identifier associated with a consumer electronics device from which a request has been received. The method also includes querying a database to determine first and second account identifiers associated with the identifier of the consumer electronics device. When the request is for messaging information stored with a first message provider, a first command is sent to cause the first message provider to forward the messaging information. When the request is for messaging information stored with a second message provider, a second command is sent to cause the second message provider to forward the messaging information. The messaging information received from at least one of the first message provider and the second message provider is sent to the consumer electronics device.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a method for receiving initial filter criteria from a home subscriber server, transmitting information obtained from the initial filter criteria to a domain name system, receiving a multicast IP address from the domain name system, and transmitting a message to a plurality of IP multimedia subsystem network elements according to the multicast IP address. The message can be used for configuring the plurality of IP multimedia subsystem network elements. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method for receiving and granting, by a first session border controller, registration requests from a plurality of communication devices, where the plurality of communication devices are assigned to a second session border controller as a primary source for communication services, and where the registration requests are received responsive to the second session border controller being unable to provide services to the plurality of communication devices. The method can further include receiving, by the first session border controller, a re-registration request from one of the plurality of communication devices, and transmitting, by the first session border controller, a message to the one of the plurality of communication devices responsive to receiving the re-registration request to cause the one of the plurality of communication device to register with the second session border controller. Other embodiments are disclosed.
