Presence Information Sharing via Automatic App Status Extraction
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 service capability are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically extracts presence information from applications without requiring user input. The presence information generation unit autonomously monitors application execution states and generates presence information packets, eliminating the need for manual user input while providing detailed status information about what applications are running and their content indicators.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-extracts and stores presence information from applications in the background before any service request occurs. By continuously monitoring application states and preparing presence information packets in advance, the system ensures detailed information is readily available when needed, without requiring complex on-demand processing.
2Productivity
If the presence service manually inputs status information, then the system is easy to operate, but the information updates are not automatic and timely
Solution Approach 1:
The presence information generation unit automatically monitors application execution states and generates updated presence information without user intervention. The system self-updates presence information by detecting application start/stop events and content changes, ensuring timely updates while maintaining ease of operation through automated background processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where the presence information generation unit continuously monitors application states and automatically updates presence information when changes are detected. This closed-loop feedback ensures information remains current by comparing current application states with previous states and generating updates only when necessary.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the presence service provides detailed application and content information, then the service capability is enhanced, but the information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The presence information generation unit extracts only relevant presence information from applications, such as application identifiers and content indicators, rather than processing all application data. This selective extraction provides detailed service capability while minimizing processing complexity by focusing only on essential information elements needed for presence services.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments presence information into distinct components including application identification information and content indication information. By dividing the information structure into manageable segments, the system can provide detailed and versatile presence information while simplifying processing through modular information handling and structured data packets.

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.
