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.
