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.
Claims21
A method for providing presence information of a Mobile Station (MS) in a communication network providing a presence service, the method comprising:
- extracting content information from at least one application in execution, the content information comprising information about content being served to a user of the MS and being involved to the at least one application executed on the MS;
- generating presence information based on the content information;
- transmitting the presence information to a presence server;
- performing an authentication procedure identifying if a watcher is included in a list of data share permission MSs;
- and
- transmitting content sharing information associated with the content to the authenticated watcher in response to a request for contents sharing.
A method for acquiring presence information of a Mobile Station (MS) in a communication network providing a presence service, the method comprising:
- receiving presence information of a source MS from a presence server;
- displaying the presence information based on content information, the content information comprising information about content being served to a user of the source MS and being involved to an application executed on the source MS;
- transmitting a request of content sharing information associated with the content to the source MS;
- and
- receiving the content sharing information from the source MS.
A Mobile Station (MS) apparatus for use in a communication network configured to provide a presence service, the apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to extract content information from an application in execution, generate presence information based on the content information, and perform an authentication procedure identifying if a watcher is included in a list of data share permission MSs;
- and
- a communication unit configured to transmit the presence information to a presence server and to transmit content sharing information associated with the content to a watcher in response to a request for contents sharing,
- wherein the content information comprises information about content being served to a user of the MS and being involved to the application executed on the MS.
A Mobile Station (MS) apparatus for use in a communication network providing a presence service, the apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit configured to receive presence information of a source MS from a presence server and receive content sharing information from the source MS;
- a display unit configured to display the presence information based on content information, the content information comprising information about content being served to a user of the source MS and being involved to an application executed on the source MS;
- and
- a controller configured to request content sharing information associated with the content to the source MS.
A method for providing presence information of a Mobile Station (MS) in a communication network providing a presence service, the method comprising:
- extracting application information from at least one application in execution, the application information comprising information about a function associated with the at least one application being utilized by a user of the MS and being executed on the MS and the application information comprising an indication that indicates the function of the at least one application in execution;
- generating presence information based on the application information;
- transmitting the presence information to a presence server;
- and
- transmitting content sharing information associated with a content involved to the at least one application to a watcher in response to a request for contents sharing.
A method for acquiring presence information of a Mobile Station (MS) in a communication network providing a presence service, the method comprising:
- receiving presence information of a source MS from a presence server;
- displaying the presence information based on application information, the application information comprising information about a function associated with an application being utilized by a user of the source MS and being executed on the source MS, and the application information comprising an indication that indicates the function of the application in execution;
- transmitting a request of content sharing information associated with a content involved to the application to the source MS;
- and
- receiving content sharing information from the source MS.
A Mobile Station (MS) apparatus for use in a communication network configured to provide a presence service, the apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to extract application information from an application in execution and generate presence information based on the application information, the application information comprising information about a function associated with the application being utilized by a user of the MS and being executed on the MS, and the application information comprising an indication configured to indicate the function of the application in execution;
- and
- a communication unit configured to transmit the presence information to a presence server and to transmit content sharing information associated with a content involved to the application to a watcher in response to a request for contents sharing.
A Mobile Station (MS) apparatus for use in a communication network that is configured to provide a presence service, the apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit configured to receive presence information of a source MS from a presence server and receive content sharing information from the source MS;
- a display unit configured to display the presence information based on application information, the application information comprising information about a function associated with the application being utilized by a user of the source MS and being executed on the source MS, and the application information comprising an indication configured to indicate the function of the application in execution;
- and
- a controller configured to request content sharing information associated with a content involved to the application to the source MS.
