Patent ID: 8611334

Claim:
A method for a Serving Node (SN) to facilitate a first user endpoint (UE) using combinational services involving a packet switched (PS) network, for sending a multimedia object to a second UE immediately before the start of a voice call on a circuit switched (CS) network between the first UE and the second UE, the method comprising: receiving a first message from the first UE to initiate a voice call to a second UE on the CS network; receiving a multimedia object from personal agent (PA) logic stored in memory in the first UE; based on service logic stored in memory in the SN, computing a time interval to delay the voice call in order to allow the multimedia object to be delivered to the second UE and rendered by the second UE prior to the start of the voice call; delivering the multimedia object to the second UE through the PS network; and allowing the voice call to proceed on the CS network after the computed time interval has expired, wherein the SN provides a connection between the first UE and only one of the CS network and PS network at any given time.
