Abstract

Methods for sharing service identity between client devices in a real-time communications network are presented including: registering a first client device with a server on the real-time communications network, the first client device registering with a shared service identity, where the first client device becomes an active client device; and when a second client device enters a physical proximity of the first client device; establishing a personal area network connection between the first client device and the second client device; registering the second client device with the server, the second client device registering with the shared service identity, where the second client device becomes the active client device and the first client device becomes a waiting device, where the waiting device discontinues communication with the server.
