Abstract
A method operates a group service or several group services in a communications network. The method involves detecting specific group service and/or specific group event-related data items in an event-recording unit, transmitting at least a part of specific group service and/or specific group event-related data items from the event-recording unit to a group lists-generating unit, evaluating said specific group service and/or specific group event-related data items and generating specific group lists by said group lists-generating unit, wherein said specific group lists indicate the current participation state of the group participants to the group service or to each group service.
Claims24
A method of operating a group service or a plurality of group services in a communication network, comprising:
- capturing group-service-specific and/or group-specific event data in an event detection unit;
- transmitting at least one subset of the group-service-specific and/or group-specific event data from the event detection unit to a group list generation unit that is applicable to a plurality of types of communication group services;
- and
- evaluating the group-service-specific and/or group-specific event data and generating group-specific lists by the group list generation unit, the group-specific lists indicating a current participation state of members of the group in the group service or each of the communication group services,
- wherein current participation state data is obtained, for the plurality of types of communication group services at a centralized location, after a change in a participation state occurs from a type of communication group service to a different type of communication group service, and information regarding which members are currently involved in which of the types of communication group services is made available to different applications and users in a standard manner.
A system to operate a group service or a plurality of group services in a communication network, comprising:
- an event detection unit to capture group-service-specific and/or group-specific event data;
- and
- a group list generation unit, connected with the event detection unit, comprising:
- a reception unit to receive at least one subset of the group-service-specific and/or group-specific event data from the event detection unit;
- an analysis unit to evaluate the group-service-specific and/or group-specific event data for a plurality of types of communication group services;
- and
- a multi-group service unit to generate group-specific lists indicating a current participation state of members of the group in the group service or each of the communication group services,
- wherein current participation state data is obtained, for the plurality of types of communication group services at a centralized location, after a change in a participation state occurs from a type of communication group service to a different type of communication group service, and information regarding which members are currently involved in which of the types of communication group services is made available to different applications and users in a standard manner by the group list generation unit.
