Method for monitoring an application in a packet-switching network
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring an application (AP1, AP2, AP3) in a packet-switching network (NW), with the state of the application (AP1, AP2, AP3) being recorded by means of a monitoring instant (MC) and being transmitted to a Presence Application (PA) which indicates and/or further processes the state, characterized in that the application (AP1, AP2, AP3) is registered by means of the monitoring instant (MC) as a first communication partner in a list of communication partners which can be accessed in the network, in that the Presence Application (PA) is registered in the list as a second communication partner which monitors the first communication partner, and in that the state and/or state changes of the application (AP1, AP2, AP3) is or are transmitted to the Presence Application (PA) as a characteristic which is associated with the first communication partner, or as a message which is transmitted from the first communication partner, with the monitoring being carried out on the basis of the characteristic or of the message.

Abstract
In order to monitor an application (AP1, AP2, AP3) in a packet-switching network (NW), the state of the application (AP1, AP2, AP3) is recorded by means of a monitoring instant (MC) and is transmitted to a Presence Application (PA) which displays and/or further processes the state. For this purpose, the application (AP1, AP2, AP3) is registered by means of the monitoring instant (MC) as a first communication partner in a list of communication partners which can be accessed in the network, and the Presence Application (PA) is registered in the list as a second communication partner which monitors the first communication partner. The state and/or state changes of the application (AP1, AP2, AP3) is or are transmitted to the Presence Application (PA) as a characteristic which is associated with the first communication partner, or as a message which is transmitted from the first communication partner, with the monitoring being carried out on the basis of the characteristic or of the message.
