Abstract
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.
Claims32
A first electronic device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the stored instructions to at least:
- control to receive first information regarding a user of a second electronic device, the first information comprising application information identifying an application executed in the second electronic device and first automatically generated information regarding a first activity which the user performs using a first function of the application executed in the second electronic device;
- control to output, for displaying based on the received first information, an application identification of the application based on the application information and output, for displaying based on the received first information, a first textual description of the first activity based on the first automatically generated information;
- control to receive second information regarding the user of the second electronic device, the second information comprising second automatically generated information regarding a second activity which the user performs using a second function of the application executed in the second electronic device;
- and
- control to output, for displaying based on the received second information, a second textual description of the second activity based on the second automatically generated information,
- wherein the first function of the application is different from the second function of the application.
(canceled)
A method performed by a first electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving first information regarding a user of a second electronic device, the first information comprising application information identifying an application executed in the second electronic device and first automatically generated information regarding a first activity which the user performs using a first function of the application executed in the second electronic device;
- outputting, for displaying based on the received first information, an application identification of the application based on the application information, and a first textual description of the first activity based on the first automatically-generated information;
- receiving second information regarding the user of the second electronic device, the second information comprising second automatically generated information regarding a second activity which the user performs using a second function of the application executed in the second electronic device;
- and
- outputting, for displaying based on the received second information, a second textual description of the second activity based on the second automatically generated information.
- wherein the first function of the application is different from the second function of the application.
(canceled)
A second electronic device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the stored instructions to at least:
- control to execute an application;
- control to transmit, towards a server, application information identifying the application executed in the second electronic device and first automatically generated information regarding a first activity which a user performs using a first function of the application;
- and
- control to transmit, towards the server, second automatically generated information regarding a second activity which the user performs using a second function of the application executed in the second electronic device.
A method performed by a second electronic device, the method comprising:
- executing an application;
- transmitting, towards a server, application information identifying the application executed in the second electronic device and first automatically generated information regarding a first activity which a user performs using a first function of the application;
- and
- transmitting, towards the server, second automatically generated information regarding a second activity which the user performs using a second function of the application executed in the second electronic device.
