Apparatus and method for sharing information through presence service in a communication network
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current presence services in communication networks only provide limited status information input by users and do not offer a seamless service based on the status information of called parties, lacking the ability to acquire detailed status information and conveniently share it.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that automatically extracts and updates presence information, including application and content indication information, to provide detailed status information and enable content sharing through a presence service in a communication network, allowing users to share identified contents based on acquired status information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If the presence service provides only user-input status information, then the service is simple to operate, but the information detail and completeness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically extracts presence information from application execution states without requiring manual user input. The MS autonomously monitors running applications and generates presence information based on their states, eliminating the need for users to manually update their status while providing comprehensive and detailed presence data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual user input mechanisms with automatic system-based information extraction. Instead of relying on users to manually enter their status, the system automatically retrieves presence information from application execution states, process data, and system logs, substituting mechanical user action with automated electronic data collection.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the presence service provides only basic status information, then the service is easy to implement, but the ability to provide seamless service based on called party status deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The presence service is designed to handle multiple types of information simultaneously - basic status, application execution state, content indication, and sharing capability. A single unified presence information structure accommodates diverse data types, enabling the service to adapt to various communication scenarios without requiring separate implementation mechanisms for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The presence information is dynamically updated based on changing application states and user activities. The system continuously monitors application execution and automatically refreshes presence information to reflect current status, enabling adaptive service delivery that responds to real-time changes without manual intervention.
3Loss of time
If manual status information input is used, then the system is simple to operate, but the information update timeliness and automatic sharing capability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system maintains continuous monitoring of application execution states and automatically updates presence information in real-time. This continuous automated operation ensures that presence data is always current without requiring periodic manual updates, eliminating time delays while maintaining operational simplicity through automation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where application state changes automatically trigger presence information updates. When an application's execution state changes, the system detects this change and immediately refreshes the corresponding presence data, creating a self-regulating mechanism that ensures timeliness without user involvement.
4Loss of information
If the presence service provides detailed application and content information, then the information sharing capability improves, but the data processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential and relevant presence information from application execution states - specifically application identification, execution state, and content indication. By selectively extracting only the necessary data elements rather than processing all possible application data, the system provides comprehensive content information while minimizing processing complexity through focused data extraction.
Data Source
AI summary
An apparatus is capable of sharing information through a presence service in a communication network and capable of providing presence information of a Mobile Station (MS). The apparatus extracts at least one of application information and contents indication information from an application in execution. Presence information is generated that includes at least one of the application information and the contents indication information, and transmitting the presence information to a presence server.
