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.
Claims25
A server for providing information regarding a user, the server comprising:
- a memory storing instructions;
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to at least:
- control to receive, from a first electronic device, application information identifying an application executed in the first electronic device and automatically generated first user activity information regarding a first activity which a user of the first electronic device performed with respect to the application executed in the first electronic device;
- control to transmit, to a second electronic device, first information being based on the application information and the automatically generated first user activity information regarding the first activity which the user of the first electronic device performed with respect to the application executed in the first electronic device;
- control to receive, from the first electronic device, automatically generated second user activity information regarding a second activity which the user of the first electronic device performed with respect to the application executed in the first electronic device;
- and
- control to transmit, to the second electronic device, second information being based on the automatically generated second user activity information regarding the second activity which the user of the first electronic device performed with respect to the application executed in the first electronic device,
- wherein the first information and the second information are transmitted to the second electronic device according to a sharing range of the user with which application information identifying an application to be executed in an electronic device and user activity information regarding an activity which the user is to perform with respect to the application to be executed in the electronic device are to be shared.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by a server from a first electronic device, application information identifying an application executed in the first electronic device and automatically generated user activity information regarding a first activity which a user of the first electronic device performed with respect to the application executed in the first electronic device;
- transmitting, by a server to a second electronic device, first information being based on the application information and the automatically generated user activity information regarding the first activity which the user of the first electronic device performed with respect to the application executed in the first electronic device,
- receiving, by the server from the first electronic device, automatically generated user activity information regarding a second activity which the user of the first electronic device performed with respect to the application executed in the first electronic device, and
- transmitting, by the server to the second electronic device, second information being based on the automatically generated user activity information regarding the second activity which the user of the first electronic device performed with respect to the application executed in the first electronic device,
- wherein the first information and the second information are transmitted to the second electronic device according to a sharing range of the user with which application information identifying an application to be executed in an electronic device and user activity information regarding an activity which the user is to perform with respect to the application to be executed in the electronic device are to be shared.
2 more elements
A system for sharing user activity information, the system comprising:
- a server;
- and
- 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 from the server first information regarding a user of a second electronic device, the first information including application information identifying an application executed in the second electronic device and automatically generated user activity information regarding a first activity which the user performed with respect to the application executed in the second electronic device;
- control to output, for displaying, the application information, the automatically generated user activity information regarding the first activity with respect to the application, and an image associated with the automatically generated user activity information;
- control to receive from the server second information regarding the user of the second electronic device, the second information comprising automatically generated user activity information regarding a second activity which the user performed with respect to the application executed in the second electronic device;
- and
- control to output, for displaying, the automatically generated user activity information regarding the second activity with respect to the application,
- wherein the server is configured to receive from the second electronic device the application information, the automatically generated user activity information regarding the first activity which the user performed with respect to the application executed in the second electronic device, and the automatically generated user activity information regarding the second activity which the user performed with respect to the application executed in the second electronic device.
