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 updates presence information, including application and content indication information, to provide detailed status and enable content sharing through a communication network, allowing users to share identified contents based on acquired status information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional presence service provides only user-input status information, then system complexity is low, but information detail and sharing capability are limited

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

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically extracting application execution information and content indication information before user requests are made. The presence information is proactively updated with detailed status data including currently running applications and their associated content, eliminating the need for users to manually input status information while providing comprehensive presence details.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The presence service system performs self-service by automatically monitoring application execution states and extracting relevant presence information without requiring user intervention. The system autonomously updates presence status by detecting application launches, terminations, and content changes, thereby reducing information loss while maintaining simple user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If presence service provides detailed application and content information, then information sharing capability improves, but information update complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent sharing capabilityVSAvoidinformation update complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The presence information extraction mechanism serves multiple functions simultaneously: it monitors application execution status, extracts content indication information, updates presence records, and enables various sharing operations. This multi-functional approach allows detailed content sharing capability while avoiding the need for separate complex update mechanisms for each function.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where presence information is continuously updated based on application execution feedback. When applications are launched or terminated, or when content changes are detected, the presence information is automatically refreshed and pushed to relevant users, enabling versatile content sharing while maintaining manageable update complexity through event-driven feedback loops.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If presence information is manually updated by users, then system resource consumption is low, but information timeliness and accuracy deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepresence information accuracyVSAvoidsystem resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The presence information update system performs self-service by automatically detecting application execution changes and updating presence records without user intervention. The system monitors application lifecycle events (launch, termination, content changes) and autonomously refreshes presence information, ensuring high accuracy and timeliness while minimizing the need for continuous user input.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs periodic action through event-driven updates triggered by application lifecycle events. Instead of continuous monitoring or manual updates, the presence information is refreshed periodically whenever specific events occur (application start/stop, content changes), achieving reliable and accurate presence information with optimized resource consumption by updating only when necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

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.
