Method and apparatus for bridging communication sessions

1. A method comprising:

determining to receive a request for establishing a communication session between a first device and a second device, wherein the request specifies a third device with a first static link to the first device and a second static link to the second device;

determining to establish a temporary link between the first device and the second device via the first static link and the second static link for conducting the communication session, wherein the communication session is on a common communication network;

determining to present a graphical user interface including a representation of at least one of the first device, the second device, and the third device; and

determining a movement of the representation of the at least one of the first device, the second device, and the third device,

wherein the movement initiates the request, and

wherein the movement includes moving the representation of the at least one of the first device, the second device, and the third device to indicate at least a partial overlap with another representation of another of the first device, the second device, and the third device.

2. A method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining whether at least one of the first device and the second device accepts the communication session over the temporary link; and

determining to convert the temporary link to a third static link between the first device and the second device.

3. A method of claim 2 , further comprising:

determining to generate a temporary identifier associated with at least one of the first device and the second device; and

determining to identify the temporary link based the temporary identifier.

4. A method of claim 2 , further comprising:

determining to exchange a first static identifier associated with the first device and a second static identifier associated with the second device between the first device and the second device,

wherein the exchange initiates actions that result in formation of the third static link.

5. A method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining to identify the temporary link based on a third static identifier associated with the third device.

6. A method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining to query a contact list associated with at least one of the first device and the second device for at least one of the first static link and the second static link; and

select the third device based on the query.

7. A method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining to retrieve a contact list associated with at least one of the first device, the second device, and the third device;

determining to store the contact list in a database; and

determining to query the database to select the third device.

8. A method of claim 1 , wherein the communication session includes a voice call, an electronic mail, an instant message, a text message, a multimedia message, a social-networking message, a chat session, a video call, or a combination thereof.

9. An apparatus comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,

the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform at least the following,

determine to receive a request for establishing a communication session between a first device and a second device, wherein the request specifies a third device with a first static link to the first device and a second static link to the second device;

determine to establish a temporary link between the first device and the second device via the first static link and the second static link for conducting the communication session, wherein the communication session is on a common communication network;

determine to present a graphical user interface including a representation of at least one of the first device, the second device, and the third device; and

determine a movement of the representation of the at least one of the first device, the second device, and the third device,

wherein the movement initiates the request, and

wherein the movement includes moving the representation of the at least one of the first device, the second device, and the third device to indicate at least a partial overlap with another representation of another of the first device, the second device, and the third device.

10. An apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine whether at least one of the first device and the second device accepts the communication session over the temporary link; and

determine to convert the temporary link to a third static link between the first device and the second device.

11. An apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine to generate a temporary identifier associated with at least one of the first device and the second device; and

determine to identify the temporary link based on the temporary identifier.

12. An apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine to exchange a first static identifier associated with the first device and a second static identifier associated with the second device between the first device and the second device,

wherein the exchange initiates actions that result in formation of the third static link.

13. An apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine to identify the temporary link based on a third static identifier associated with the third device.

14. An apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine to query a contact list associated with at least one of the first device and the second device for at least one of the first static link and the second static link; and

select the third device based on the query.

15. An apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the apparatus is further caused to:

determine to retrieve a contact list associated with at least one of the first device, the second device, and the third device;

determine to store the contact list in a database; and

determine to query of the database to select third device.

16. An apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the communication session includes a voice call, an electronic mail, an instant message, a text message, a multimedia message, a social-networking communication session, a chat session, a video call, or a combination thereof.
