The access networks may operate in different transmission modes and may utilize different signaling formats (text, graphics, voice, video, etc.). A watched party specifies preferences as to who may contact him, at what times, on what kind of network and device. A watching party requesting to contact the watched party may be given direct contact information for contacting the user, may be given indirect contact information for contacting the user without being informed of the watched party's whereabouts, may be placed directly in communication with the watched party, or may forward a message to the user. If the caller is forwarding a message to the user or is placed in communication with the user, and if caller and user are using different transmission modes or different signaling formats, the personal communications portal mediates communication appropriately. Further, the personal communications portal may determine the watched party's physical location based upon the presence information received from the multiple access network and possibly from information received related to events which take place outside of the multiple access network, but which are reported to the portal.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to networks, and more particularly to tracking a user's presence and availability to receive messages while employing different networks and/or different network devices and/or in different network locations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides systems and methods of monitoring a presence on a multiple access network and communicating over the same.
Aggregates 40, 41 differ from prior-art �buddy lists� (adjuncts to instant messaging services) in several respects. Aggregates 40, 41 are able to request actions on the aggregate's behalf whereas this is not the case for buddy lists, which merely facilitate action by the sender of a message. By creating aggregates 40, 41 which have an autonomous status it is possible to enable aggregates 40, 41 to be used in ways in which watched parties 13 or watching parties 12 can be used.
Availability: the ability of a watched party 13 to communicate at a given time. In addition to �on-line�/�off-line� status, availability can represent a watched party's willingness to engage in communication.
A set of the possible context presence values for the watched party 13, e.g. �at-home�, �at-work�, �travelling�, �not-able-to-contact�, �unknown�, etc. For many of these the system also holds attributes, e.g. geographical location.
When a watched party 13 is first registered with a PCP 10 there is a substantial amount of data capture required. In order that the work-load of the watched party 13 is reduced reliance may be placed on default information and a type of �wizard� used to help the watched party 13 enter the required information quickly and easily. Later, the data can be subsequently modified by the watched party 13. These functions are carried out by the profile management system 56.
The watched party 13 chooses from a number of life-styles, �office-worker�, �travelling-salesman� or �executive�. Each life-style being represented by a template with default values.
