AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This leads to user frustration and makes the conversation feel unnatural
A further problem with IM activity indication messages is that they are triggered independently of whether the user's input was deliberate or not
Also, for the receiver, this creates anticipation of the message and thus disappointment when there is no subsequent message

Embodiment Construction

[0039] First refer to figure 1 , figure 1 The instant messaging system 100 is shown. The first user of the IM system (labeled "User A" 102) operates a user terminal 104, which is shown as connected to a network 106 such as the Internet. The user terminal 104 may be, for example, a personal computer ("PC"), a personal digital assistant ("PDA"), a mobile phone, a game device, or other embedded devices that can be connected to the network 106. The user terminal 104 has an interface device to receive information from or output information to the user of the device. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the interface device of the user terminal 104 includes a display device such as a display screen, a keyboard and a mouse. The user terminal 104 is connected to the network 106 via a network interface 108 such as a modem, and the connection between the user terminal 104 and the network interface 108 may be via a cable (wired) connection or a wireless connection. A clie...

Abstract

A method of communicating user activity in a messaging system. The method comprises: monitoring an input region displayed to a first user of the messaging system in a client executed at a user terminal of the first user; responsive to receiving a user activated input at the input region, analysing the input and using the analysis to match the input to a type of user activity from a predetermined set of user activities; and transmitting a message comprising data representing the type of user activity from the user terminal of the first user to a user terminal of at least one other user of the messaging system over a communications network.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to activity notification in an instant message system. Background technique [0002] Instant Messaging (IM) is a popular computer-based communication form in which users exchange text-based messages in real time. To use an instant messaging system, the user's user terminal must be connected to a communication network such as the Internet, and an instant messaging client application must be executed on the user terminal. By establishing a connection on the communication network, the client application allows users to initiate instant messaging sessions with remote users. Then the user can type a message and send the message to the remote user (by pressing the Enter key or activating the "send" button), the message is displayed in the remote user's client program almost in real time (depending on the network delay) Interface. The remote user can then type a reply and send the reply to another user. The exchange of messages ca...
