Abstract

A presence management system is described whereby connections between watching parties and watched parties in a multiple access communications network are managed. When the presence management system receives a contact request from a watching party it determines whether the required watched party is available for contact. The system then provides information about this to the watching party who made the request. The presence management system chooses the best mode of communication (e.g. email or fax) taking into account the watched parties preferences and details about the facilities available to the watching party. If the presence management system informs the watching party that the watched party is unavailable, the watching party is able to set up a monitor.
In determining whether the required watched party is available for contact, the presence management system uses stored information about the watched party, information about the required connection (e.g. size and type) and also rules. In addition, information about events from the multiple access network are used e.g. geographical location of watched party mobile phones.
Advantageously, watched parties or watching parties are services. For example, a watching party is a conference call service which monitors watched parties and sets up a conference call when the watched parties are available. A
watched party may also be a service, such as a ticket agency. Watching parties can set up monitors using the presence management system to be alerted when new tickets are available from the agency.

Claims (25)

1. A presence management system suitable for use in a multiple access communications network by watching parties and watched parties, said presence management system comprising:-(i) A first input arranged to receive notification requests from watching parties in use, each notification request being in respect of a watched party;
(ii) A second input arranged to receive information about events, relating to said watched parties, that occur in said multiple access communications network in use; and (iii) A processor arranged such that in use, when information about an event relating to a particular watched party is received, any watching parties who made notification requests about that particular watched party, are notified about the event; and wherein at least one party is an automated service.
2. A presence management system as claimed in claim 1 which further comprises:
(i) an input arranged to access a store of watched party information;
(ii) a store of information about connection criteria;
(iii) an input arranged to receive connection requests from watching parties in use; and wherein said presence management system is arranged such that, in use, on receipt of a request from a watching party for a connection with a watched party, information about whether that watched party is available for connections to be established with it is provided, said information being provided on the basis of said store, said information about connection criteria and said input information about events.
3. A presence management system as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 which further comprises a store of information about notification criteria; and wherein notifications are issued on the basis of said notification criteria.
4. A presence management system as claimed in any preceding claim wherein said at least one party is a watching party.
5. A presence management system as claimed in any receding claim wherein said at least one party is a watched party.
6. A presence management system as claimed in any preceding claim wherein said at least one party is a conference call service.
7. A presence management system as claimed in any of claims 1 to 5 wherein said at least one party is a ticket agency service.
8. A presence management system as claimed in any of claims 1-5 wherein said at least one party is a hotel registration service.
9. A presence management system as claimed in any of claims 1-5 wherein said at least one party is an airline check-in service.
10. A presence management system as claimed in any preceding claim wherein said presence management system is further arranged to provide information about the geographical location of a watched party in use, on the basis of said received information about events that occur in said multiple access communications network.
11. A presence management system as claimed in any preceding claim wherein said presence management system is further arranged to provide information about the current activity of a watched party, on the basis of said received information about events that occur in said multiple access communications network.
12. A presence management system as claimed in claim 2 or any preceding claim when dependent on claim 2 wherein said presence management system is arranged to provide information about types of connection that a watched party is able to receive.
13. A presence management system as claimed in claim 3, or any preceding claim when dependent on claim 3 wherein said store of information about connection criteria comprises watched party connection preferences.
14. A presence management system as claimed in claim 3 or any preceding claim when dependent on claim 3 wherein said store of information about notification criteria comprises watched party notification preferences.
15. A presence management system as claimed in any preceding claim wherein at least one of said parties comprises a plurality of individuals.
