Abstract

A method of implementing common interest community services in a presence system comprising creating a common interest community in which an interest state of a presence message is aggregated into a group in the presence system, publishing a member presence information to the common interest community to be selectively made available to a subscribing member of the common interest community and subscribing to the common interest community for receiving the member presence information, wherein a publishing member may selectively grant an access level.

Claims

1. A method of implementing common interest community services in a presence system comprising:

creating a common interest community in which an interest state of a presence message is aggregated into a group in the presence system;

publishing member presence information to the common interest community to be selectively made available to a subscribing member of the common interest community; and

subscribing to the common interest community for receiving the member presence information, wherein a publishing member may selectively grant an access level.

2. The method of claim 1 comprising assigning the interest state of the presence message to the member presence information.1.

3. The method of claim 1 comprising scanning the interest state of the member presence information.

4. The method of claim 1 comprising matching the interest state to the common interest community.

5. The method of claim 1 comprising filtering the member presence information.

6. The method of claim 1 comprising authorizing access to the subscribing member of the member presence information.

7. The method of claim 1 comprising viewing the member presence information.

8. The method of claim 1 comprising collecting the member presence information.

9. The method of claim 1 comprising distributing the member presence information.

10. A computer readable medium comprising instructions for:

assigning an interest state to a presence message;

aggregating a group according to the interest state of the presence message; and

creating a common interest community of the aggregated group.

11. The computer readable medium of claim 10 comprising instructions for:

publishing a member presence information to the common interest community to be selectively made available to a subscribing member of the common interest community; and

subscribing to the common interest community to receive the member presence information.

12. The computer readable medium of claim 11 comprising instructions for granting an access level to the subscribing member.

13. The computer readable medium of claim 11 comprising instructions for authorizing an access level to the subscribing member of the member presence information.

14. The computer readable medium of claim 10 comprising instructions for scanning the interest state of the member presence information.

15. The computer readable medium of claim 10 comprising instructions for matching the interest state to the common interest community.

16. The computer readable medium of claim 10 comprising instructions for filtering the presence message.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 10 comprising instructions for viewing the presence message.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 10 comprising instructions for collecting the presence message.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 10 comprising instructions for distributing the presence message.

20. A system for common interest community service via presence messaging, comprising:

a memory including a presence message having an interest state; and

a first processor communicably coupled to the memory, the first processor adapted to;

assign the interest state to the presence message; and

send the presence message to the memory.

21. The system of claim 20 further comprising:

a second processor communicably coupled to the memory, the second processor adapted to;

scan the interest state of the presence message;

aggregate a group according to the interest state of the presence message;

create a common interest community of the aggregated group; and

publish a member presence information to the common interest community.

22. The system of claim 21 further comprising:

a third processor communicably coupled to the memory, the third processor adapted to;

subscribe to the common interest community for receiving the member presence information, wherein a publishing member may selectively grant an access level; and

receive the presence message.
