Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a method at a gateway device that registers at least one mobile phone number with the gateway device via a femtocell integrated with the gateway device when a mobile device associated with the at least one mobile phone number is within range of the femtocell, registers at least one voice over internet protocol phone number with the gateway device, and selectively receives and makes calls using one of a set top box registered with the gateway device, the mobile device registered with the femtocell, a voice over internet protocol phone corresponding to the at least one voice over internet protocol phone number. Other embodiments are disclosed.
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a computer-readable storage medium in a media controller having computer instructions to execute a soft-phone client application on the media processor, receive a call originating from an internet protocol multimedia subsystem network where the calls are directed to the media processor by a gateway having a switch that routes the call in accordance with a destination address included in a session initiation protocol header message, and selectively answer the call at any of a plurality of terminal devices including a mobile cellular phone coupled to the media processor via a femtocell. The computer instructions can be operable to present an audio portion of the call through a speaker of a presentation device operatively coupled to the media processor. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract:
A method includes receiving information at a media device from an accessory device. The information includes first image data captured by a camera and second image data captured by the camera subsequent to capture of the first image data. The camera is a component of an earpiece of the accessory device. The method includes identifying, at a processor of the media device, a particular limb movement of a user of the accessory device based on the information. The method also includes performing an action with the processor, the action based on the particular limb movement.
