Abstract

Devices, systems and methods are provided to communicate using mobile or wireless devices having a plurality of interactive applications, wherein each application is useable interactively with other applications. Thus, a user is enabled to utilize multiple applications interactively on a single mobile device, with each application providing intelligent feedback to an application server as to the use habits of the user with regard to that application. Further, the applications server provides a level of intelligence back to each mobile device creating an ongoing intelligent feedback loop.

Claims

1. A device for communication in an IP Multimedia System (IMS), the device comprising:

a memory including a plurality of interactive applications pushed from the IMS based on a profile of usage, wherein each application uses a common language to interact with each other application, collects a plurality of attributes including presence and availability, and creates a user interface based on the plurality of attributes;

a power in communication with the memory;

a display in communication with the memory; and

a radio chipset in communication with the memory;

wherein a plurality of feedback is given from each application on the device to the IMS regarding a time used, a duration of time, a plurality of capabilities, a profile, and an interaction with another application.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein each application interacts with a mobile unit having the same application.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of feedback defines and controls a future use of each application.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein an application server activates functions in the plurality of interactive applications which is most useful for a user depending on the plurality of feedback.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of interactive applications can be configured to have a user interface as desired by a user.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein a first intelligence associated with the interactive applications communicates with a second intelligence on a remote application server.

7. The device of claim 6, wherein the interaction of the first intelligence and the second intelligence provides a user an interface that is reflective of past uses of the user with respect to each application.

8. The device of claim 6, wherein the communication occurs using Session Initiation Protocol.

9. A method for communication between an IP Multimedia System (IMS) and a mobile device, the method comprising:

sending the mobile device a plurality of interactive applications pushed from the IMS based on a profile of usage, wherein each application uses a common language to interact with each other application, collects a plurality of attributes including presence and availability, and creates a user interface based on the plurality of attributes; and

receiving a plurality of feedback from the mobile device regarding each application, a time used, a duration of time, a plurality of capabilities, a profile, and an interaction with another application;

wherein the plurality of feedback is received from each application on the mobile device.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the mobile device interacts by use of a collected intelligence through the plurality of applications with another mobile device having a substantially similar application.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the plurality of feedback defines and controls a future use of each application.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the mobile device interacts with an application server to activate a function of one of the plurality of applications most useful for a user depending on the plurality of feedback.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the plurality of applications will be enabled at differing thresholds of service constrained by either network or device capability.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein communication between the mobile device and remote application servers occurs using a Session Initiation Protocol.
