Solution Overview

Problem

Current presence services in communication networks primarily provide limited status information input by users, lacking detailed status information and seamless content sharing capabilities based on the status of called parties.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that automatically extracts and shares application and content information through a presence service in a communication network, enabling detailed status updates and content sharing by generating presence information that includes application execution status and content indication information, and facilitating authentication for content sharing requests.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional presence service is used to provide status information, then basic presence information can be obtained, but detailed status information and content sharing capabilities are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepresence information detailVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The presence information is segmented into multiple components including basic presence status, application execution status, and content indication information. This segmentation allows detailed information to be provided while maintaining system organization and manageability, resolving the contradiction between information detail and system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The presence service system is enhanced to perform multiple functions: providing basic presence status, detailed application status, and content sharing capabilities. This multi-functionality allows the system to provide comprehensive information without requiring separate systems, thus improving information detail while controlling overall system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Extent of automation

If manual input of presence information is used, then user control is maintained, but automatic status updates and seamless service are not achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomatic status updateVSAvoiduser operation convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically extracts application execution status and content information without requiring manual user input. The Mobile Station autonomously monitors its own state and reports presence information to the presence server, achieving automatic status updates while simplifying user operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously monitors application execution status and automatically updates presence information based on detected changes. This feedback mechanism ensures automatic status updates while reducing the operational burden on users, as the system self-adjusts based on its own state

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If basic presence service is provided, then system simplicity is maintained, but seamless content sharing based on called party status is not enabled

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharing capabilityVSAvoidstatus information detail
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-extracts and stores application execution status and content indication information in the presence information before content sharing is requested. This preliminary preparation enables seamless content sharing when needed, while the detailed status information is already available to support adaptive service provision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
