摘要:
Methods, systems, and computer program products for tracking real-time communication data within a single contact tracking application for diverse communication providers and applications. A global data store is synchronized with real-time communication data, such as presence, status, unread messages, and unread notifications, from each application/provider. Real-time communication data for contacts dynamically determined to be recent contacts is retrieved from the data store, based on properties such as a most recent communication time, a communication count, and the like. Real-time communication data corresponding to contacts identified as pinned contacts for which display of real-time communication data is preferred, also may be retrieved. A user interface is generated for displaying the one or more recent and/or pinned contacts, which may vary in size based on the number of contacts identified as pinned contacts, from which a contact may be selected for real-time conversation or e-mail.

摘要:
Several enhancements to a real-time communications user interface are provided to add functionality and personality in such communications as instant messaging. These enhancements are geared at least in part to making the user interface more personalized between users in a real-time communication session, including personalized fonts, spacing, extensible emoticons, etc. Other enhancements are geared in part toward enhancing the use of the interface. For example, a dynamically changing input box may remove a need for scroll bars, and edit control of previous messages may remove the need to send corrective messages. A number of these enhancements may be accomplished through the use of markup languages in the user interface. One or more of the disclosed enhancements may improve the immediacy, readability, and functionality of instant message conversations.

A system and method is provided for synchronizing a file system with presence information on a network. Presence information is discovered for nearby users on the network. Data corresponding to the nearby users, such as a display name and sharing address, are stored in the file system. The data is synchronized either in a folder corresponding to nearby users, or is synchronized in a general contacts folder that is enhanced by the presence information. As people move in and out of the network, the entries in the file system are updated.
摘要:
A system and method is provided for confirmation of the identity of a contact on the network. A notification that a nearby user is present on a network is signed with a private key associated with the nearby user. The private key is also associated with a public key. A local user that has the nearby user's public key can verify the signature on the notification and confirm that the nearby user is the source of the notification. The verification of identity of the nearby user allows rich content previously stored for the nearby user to be displayed along with the nearby user's presence information.

A system and method is provided for publication and discovery of the presence of nearby users on a network. When the system is enabled, the presence of the local user is published on the network. Nearby users that also have a similar system enabled can discover the local user's presence on the network. Furthermore, the local user may discovery the presence of the other nearby users that are currently publishing their presence on the network.
摘要:
Information delivery system and methods detects and organizes information into canonical topics, such as who, what, when, where, price, etc., and facilitates a user to persistently subscribe to topics, web users, web resources, event streams, etc. The system facilitates a user to register devices and applications on which to receive information, as it becomes available, related to the subscription(s). The system facilitates users to specify preferences for the topics, web users, web resources, and registrations, which prioritize delivery of information. The system senses information, aggregates the user's registrations, subscriptions, and preferences, and filters information a topic-interest basis. The system notifies a user based on the preferences.
