A user uses a lurker to check a colleague's location electronically. If the colleague is at the location and a device is available for communicating with the colleague, a communications channel is established between a device near the lurker and the colleague's device, and communication can begin.

A message-processing agent receives an object from a space in a Scalable Infrastructure System. The message-processing agent determines the destination of the object and checks a preference setting for the destination. The message-processing agent then routes the object to its destination as determined by the preference settings, possibly altering the destination in favor of an alternate destination indicated by the preference settings.

摘要:
A fully distributed, scalable infrastructure, communication system. The system comprises at least on Space, at least one double agent and at least one non-space specific double agent. Devices and applications that wish to communicate with other members of the Community or outside of the Community insert objects into the Space. The Space then publishes the presence of that object to subscribed members of the community. The double agents are capable of communicating with any desired protocols on one side and the Space protocol on the other. Non-space specific agents handle routing, administrative and other tasks, such as communication between Spaces and Communities.
摘要:
A method for managing a scalable infrastructure communication system. The method includes initializing the communication system with at least one space having at least one lookup service, activating a Community Service application, and using the Community Service application to manage the communication system. Managing the system includes the tasks of registering, adding and deleting entities within the communication system. The entities are services, agents, Spaces and Communities. As the system operates the Community Service application updates the Community Service application responsive to registrations, additions and deletions in the communication system, and continues to manage and update the system.

A method of providing evolvable entries in a persistent store is described. The method includes receiving an entry from an agent destined for the persistent store. The entry is converted to a versioned entry inserted into the persistent store. If a read or take operation is instituted, the versioned entry is read from the persistent store and converted to an entry.
摘要:
Systems, methods, and apparatus may perform operations related to delivering wireless information associating to a facility. A message is received from a first mobile device with at least a portion of the message including information associated with a physical location. Based on the message, a facility based on the physical location is identified. The message may be associated with the facility. An indication is received that a second mobile device is proximate to the facility and engaged in a message browsing mode. Based on receiving the indication, the message may be presented to the second mobile device.
摘要:
Systems and techniques relating to electronically managing public resources are described. A described technique includes identifying a location of a mobile device based on received information from one or more wireless access points communicably coupled to the mobile device; presenting to the mobile device, information descriptive of an availability of one or more facilities proximate to the mobile device, based on the identified location of the mobile device and receiving a first service request from the mobile device; receiving, from the mobile device, a second service request for provisioning a facility of the one or more facilities based on the presented information; indicating the facility to generate a signal for a provisioning confirmation; and provisioning the facility based on receiving the provisioning confirmation.
