Abstract
According to one embodiment, a presence transmission method includes: controlling communication of a call via a network; transmitting, via the network, presence indicating a current status; and executing predetermined functions. If a specific function that causes delay in answering an incoming call is to be executed among the predetermined functions, presence indicating that it takes time to answer an incoming call is transmitted via the network.
Claims7
A presence transmission method comprising:
- controlling communication of a call via a network;
- transmitting, via the network, a first presence indicating a current status;
- and
- executing predetermined functions, wherein
- the transmitting includes transmitting the first presence indicating that it takes time to answer an incoming call when a specific function among the predetermined functions is to be executed, the specific function causing delay in answering the incoming call,
- the executing includes storing a presence prior to activation of the specific function as a pre-activation presence in a memory upon the activation of the specific function, and obtaining the pre-activation presence upon completion of execution of the specific function, and
- the transmitting includes transmitting the pre-activation presence upon the completion of the execution of the specific function.
4 more elements
A video display device comprising:
- a communication controller configured to control communication of a call via the network;
- a transmitter configured to transmit, via the network, presence indicating a current status;
- and
- an execution controller configured to execute predetermined functions, wherein the transmitter transmits a first presence indicating that it takes time to answer an incoming call when a specific function among the predetermined functions is to be executed, the specific function causing delay in answering the incoming call,
- the execution controller is configured to store a presence prior to activation of the specific function as pre-activation presence in the memory upon the activation of the specific function, and to obtain the pre-activation presence upon completion of execution of the specific function, and
- the transmitter is configured to transmit the pre-activation presence as the first presence upon the completion of the execution of the specific function.
3 more elements
A video display system comprising:
- a video display device;
- and
- an information processor connected to the video display device via a network,
- wherein the video display device comprising
- a communication controller configured to control communication of a call with the information processor via the network,
- a transmitter configured to transmit, via the network, a first presence indicating a current status, and
- an execution controller configured to execute predetermined functions, and
- wherein the transmitter transmits, the first presence indicating that it is difficult to answer an incoming call when a specific function among the predetermined functions is to be executed, the specific function causing delay in answering the incoming call,
- the execution controller is configured to store a presence prior to activation of the specific function as pre-activation presence in the memory upon the activation of the specific function, and to obtain the pre-activation presence upon completion of execution of the specific function, and
- the transmitter is configured to transmit the pre-activation presence upon the completion of the execution of the specific function, and
- wherein the information processor comprising
- a receiver configured to receive the first presence, and
- a display module configured to display an icon corresponding to the first presence.
