Problems solved by technology

However, this requires the user to invoke the instant messaging application, which the user may forget to do
Also, once logged in, the system has no way of determining whether the user is actually viewing the user equipment terminal, and therefore has no way of knowing whether the user is actually present opposite the user equipment, unless the user logs out (exits) or otherwise indicates that he or she is away

Embodiment Construction

[0017] Referring initially to FIG. 1 , a system, generally designated 10 , including a presence server 12 is shown. The presence server 12 may be any suitable Internet-capable server computer, and it may be owned by or associated with a particular organization. Without limitation, the presence server may be an instant messaging server.

[0018] As shown in FIG. 1 , presence server 12 is capable of communicating via Internet 14 with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) server / network 16 (only a single ISP server 16 is shown for clarity). ISP server / network 16 in turn provides a gateway to Internet 14 (including to presence server 12) according to principles known in the art for various computing devices of users (only a single user's device is shown for illustration). Specifically, a user can utilize a mobile computer 18 such as a Sony Clie(R) and a home PC, laptop, or home network computing system 20 (shown as two boxes in FIG. 16 or via home network communication) communicate...

Abstract

A user device (18) automatically sends a presence message to a presence server (12) when the user device (18) is powered on. Thereafter, the user device (18) may send a sleep message to the presence server (12) upon power down or prolonged period of inactivity, or the device (18) may be required to send periodic messages to the presence server (12) to maintain it as being listed as an active device. The presence server (12) is then used to manage communication with the user device (18) based on the presence information.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application Serial No. 60 / 544602, filed February 12,2004. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to Internet communications managed by a presence server. Background technique [0004] In order to send a message to a recipient, the message must be addressed to the recipient using the protocol of the particular communication or messaging system. For example, email messages require SMTP, IMAP or POP addresses. As part of sending a message, the sender must determine what messaging service is best suited to deliver the message, including determining what service will identify the recipient. This can require that the recipient is available for the service. [0005] Therefore, when determining accessibility, it is often necessary to have reliable presence information about the intended recipient. In some systems, such as instant messaging systems, presence informatio...
