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 traditional presence service is used, then basic status information can be provided, but detailed status information and content sharing capability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The presence information is segmented into multiple components including basic status information, application information, and content indication information. This segmentation allows the system to provide detailed status information while maintaining manageable complexity by organizing information into distinct, structured elements that can be processed independently.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to presence information by including content indication information that goes beyond traditional status data. This dimensional expansion enables the system to convey not just whether an application is running, but what specific content is being accessed, thereby reducing information loss without proportionally increasing complexity.
2Productivity
If manual input of presence information is used, then user control is maintained, but information updating efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by automatically extracting presence information, application information, and content indication information from the mobile station without requiring manual user input. The mobile station itself generates and updates presence information based on its operational state, significantly improving information updating speed while maintaining ease of operation through automated processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by continuously monitoring and extracting information from applications in the background before any user request for presence information. This proactive information gathering ensures that detailed status information is ready for immediate transmission, enhancing productivity without adding operational complexity for users.
3Adaptability or versatility
If basic presence information is provided, then service simplicity is maintained, but content sharing capability is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The presence information structure is designed with universality by incorporating content indication information that can represent various types of content across different applications. This multi-functional approach enables the same presence service framework to support content sharing across diverse application types while maintaining adaptability to different content formats and reducing information loss about content details.
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.
