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.

Claims (17)

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) an input arranged to access a store of watched party information;

(ii) information about connection criteria;

(iii) an input arranged to receive information about events that occur in said multiple access communications network in use; and (iv) an input arranged to receive connection requests from watchers 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, a connection address for that watched party is provided under controlled conditions, said conditions being determined on the basis of said watched party information, said information about connection criteria and said input information about events.
2. A presence management system as claimed in claim 1 wherein said connection address is only operable for a limited time.
3. A presence management system as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 wherein said connection address is only operable for a limited number of connection attempts.
4. A presence management system as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the request from the watching party is forwarded to the connection address provided, in such a way that the watching party has no access to that connection address.
5. A presence management system as claimed in any preceding claim wherein at least one of the parties is an automated service.
6. A presence management system as claimed in claim 5 wherein said automated service is a watching party.
7. A presence management system as claimed in claim 5 wherein said automated service is a watched party.
8. A presence management system as claimed in any preceding claim wherein at least one of said parties comprises a plurality of individuals.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. A presence management system as claimed in any preceding claim wherein said presence management system is arranged to provide information about types of connection that a watched party is able to participate in.
12. A presence management system as claimed in any preceding claim which further comprises a monitor for monitoring said received information about events and wherein said presence management system is arranged to provide information about a change in the availability of a watched party.
13. A presence management system as claimed in any preceding claim wherein said store of watched party information comprises watched party connection preferences.
14. A presence management system as claimed in any preceding claim and wherein a plurality of said events are initiated by watched parties and comprise a communication via said multiple access network.
15. A computer program stored on a computer readable medium, said computer program being adapted to control a presence management system, said presence management system being suitable for use in a multiple access communications network by watched parties and watching parties, said computer program being arranged to control said presence management system such that:-(i) a store of watched party information is accessed;

(ii) information about connection criteria is accessed;

(iii) information about events that occur in said multiple access communications network is received in use via an input; and (iv) connection requests are received from watchers in use;
and on receipt of a request from a watching party for a connection with a watched party, a connection address for that watched party is provided under controlled conditions, said conditions being determined on the basis of said watched party information, said information about connection criteria and said input information about events.
16. A multiple access communications network comprising a presence management system, said presence management system being for use by watching parties and watched parties, said presence management system comprising:-(i) An input arranged to access a store of watched party information;

(ii) information about connection criteria;

(iii) an input arranged to receive information about events that occur in said multiple access communications network in use; and (iv) an input arranged to receive connection requests from watchers 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, a connection address for that watched party is provided under controlled conditions, said conditions being determined on the basis of said watched party information, said information about connection criteria and said input information about events.
17. A method of operating a presence management system suitable for use in a multiple access communications network, said presence management system being for use by watching parties and watched parties, at least one of said parties being an automated service, said method comprising the steps of:-(i) accessing a store of watched party information;
(ii) accessing information about connection criteria;
(iii) receiving information about events that occur in said multiple access communications network; and (iv) 'on receipt of a request from a watching party for a connection with a watched party, a connection address for that watched party is provided under controlled conditions, said conditions being determined on the basis of said watched party information, said information about connection criteria and said input information about events.
