    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: A collaborative services platform may include a connectivity service, an activity service and a contact management service. The connectivity service may provide communicative connectivity between users of the collaborative services platform. The activity service may provide one or more collaborative activities supporting various modes of communication. The contact management service may maintain contact information for each of the users of the collaborative service platform. It may be that not every user is capable of participating in every collaborative activity. The contact information maintained by the contact management service may indicate the collaborative activities in which each user is capable of participating. A set of programmatic objects utilized to implement the collaborative services platform may include contact objects, conference objects, MeContact objects, endpoint objects, published objects and presence objects. The presence object may represent a presence of a particular user in a networked computing environment and may reference multiple collaborative endpoints.

    摘要: A set of collaborative contacts may be selected with an invitation user interface. An invitation to participate in a collaborative activity may be sent to the selected contacts from the invitation user interface or from a collaborative application. The invitation may be received by a collaborative services platform. A user of the collaborative services platform may be presented with the invitation along with an ability to choose one of accept, decline and ignore in response to the invitation. The user may choose to accept, decline or explicitly ignore the invitation, and a response may be sent to the sender of the invitation indicating the user's choice. An application programming interface for a collaborative invitation service of the collaborative services platform may include an invitation element, a send invitation element, a respond to invitation element and a cancel invitation element. The cancel invitation element may be used to cancel issued invitations.

    摘要: Collaboration between collaborative endpoints may be facilitated by a serverless publication service of a collaborative services platform. The serverless publication service may be configured to accept communicative connections from the collaborative endpoints. Users of the collaborative services platform may publish their associated collaborative presences with the serverless publication service. For example, the collaborative presence of a user may include information with respect to valid collaborative endpoints for the user and collaborative capabilities at those endpoints. Subscriptions to published collaborative presences may be placed through the serverless publication service. A collaborative presence subscribe message may specify a subscription to a collaborative presence of a user. Upon receipt of a presence subscribe message, if there is no subscription policy with respect to the sender, the recipient may be queried for a subscription policy with respect to the sender. The subscription may be accepted in accordance with the subscription policy.
