摘要： Systems and methods are described for facilitiating collaboration and/or communication in a peer-to-peer serverless system. The system may transmit to other computing systems associated with other entities information regarding presence information associated with a user entity. Also, the system may request of other computing systems associated with other entities information regarding presence information associated with the other entities. Presence information may generally indicate the willingness and/or ability of an entity to communicate and/or collaborate with other entities, for example.

摘要： Methods and computer readable mediums are described that facilitate inviting user entities on a network. The method may include initiating a first application for sending an invitation by a first user entity on a first endpoint, selecting a second user entity to receive the invitation, and selecting an activity. The method may also include sending from the first endpoint to the second user entity the invitation to participate in the activity if the first endpoint determines the activity is supported by a computing application on the first endpoint.

摘要： Systems and methods are described that facilitate the management of contact information, at least some of the contact information related to entities in a serverless, peer-to-peer system. A contact store may store information regarding which other entities of a plurality of other entities are authorized to monitor presence of a user entity. Presence of an entity may generally indicate the willingness and/or ability of the entity to communicate and/or collaborate with other entities, for example. The contact store may also store information regarding which other entities of the plurality of other entities the presence of which should be monitored by the system. A user entity may be able to add contacts to and/or delete contacts from the contact store, for example. The user entity may also be able to modify the contact store to modify which other entities are authorized to monitor presence of the user entity and/or which other entities the presence information of which should be monitored by the system, for example.

摘要： Methods are described that facilitate presence publication which may include authorizing publication of presence at a first endpoint, if the publication is authorized, assembling a presence data structure, and broadcasting the presence data structure from the first endpoint. The method may also include the presence structure including a friendly name, contact information, and endpoint information. The method further including contact information in at least one of XML format, vCard format, and the endpoint information obtained from a peer name resolution protocol. The method may additionally include the presence data structure encoded as at least one of a generic discovery protocol message, a simple service discovery protocol message, and associating a globally unique identifier with the discovery protocol messages. The method may include a user entity authorizing presence publication, the user entity setting at least one of a default parameter authorizing publication of all presence, some presence, or no presence.

摘要： An access point that implements operating modes in which beacons may be selectively disabled. Beacons may be disabled when no device is actively associated through the access point. Beacons may be enabled in response to one or more triggers, which may include events such as a client forming an association through the access point following a probe request message identifying the access point. In addition, active beaconing may be triggered by user input or may occur during periodic brief intervals that allow client devices to discover the network identifier for the access point. Selective control of beaconing may lead to more effective wireless communication, particularly in areas where users congregate with computers implementing soft APs for personal networks.

摘要翻译： 实现可以选择性地禁用信标的操作模式的接入点。 没有设备通过接入点主动关联时，信标可能被禁用。 可以响应于一个或多个触发器来启用信标，所述触发器可以包括事件，例如客户端在识别接入点的探测请求消息之后通过接入点形成关联。 此外，主动信号可以由用户输入触发，或者可以在允许客户端设备发现接入点的网络标识符的周期性短暂间隔期间发生。 信标的选择性控制可能导致更有效的无线通信，特别是在用户聚集实现用于个人网络的软AP的计算机的区域中。
