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 transmits application information and contents indication information to a presence server, enabling the display of detailed presence information and allowing for the sharing of identified contents based on the status of a Mobile Station (MS) in a communication network.
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 implement, but the information detail and usefulness are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically extracts presence information from application execution states without requiring manual user input. The Mobile Station autonomously monitors application states and generates presence information, eliminating the need for users to manually update their status while providing rich detailed information about current activities and contents.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-extracts and caches presence information from application states before any service request occurs. By continuously monitoring application execution states and preparing presence information in advance, the system ensures detailed information is readily available when needed, reducing both information loss and access time.
2Ease of operation
If the presence service only provides basic status information, then the service is easy to operate, but the ability to share specific content is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The presence service is designed to handle multiple functions through a unified interface. It simultaneously provides basic status information, detailed application state information, and content sharing capabilities. The system can adapt to different service needs (simple status check vs. detailed content sharing) without requiring separate systems, maintaining ease of operation while enhancing versatility.
Solution Approach 2:
The presence information is segmented into multiple levels: basic status information for simple queries, detailed application state information for intermediate needs, and specific content information for advanced sharing requirements. This segmentation allows the service to provide appropriate information depth based on user needs, maintaining simplicity for basic operations while enabling sophisticated content sharing when required.
3Reliability
If manual status information input is required, then the information accuracy reflects user intent, but the information updating timeliness and automation are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors application execution states and automatically updates presence information based on real-time feedback from the system state. This closed-loop approach ensures that presence information accurately reflects the current application state and user activity without manual intervention, maintaining reliability through automated state detection while achieving full automation in information updating.

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.
