Method and system for busy presence state detection in an instant messaging system
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- executing an instant messenger client on a computer system;
detecting a computer system activity level indicative of activity of said computer system;
determining whether said activity level exceeds an activity threshold in response to said detecting; and
transitioning a presence state specific to said instant messenger client to a busy state in response to determining that said activity level exceeds said activity threshold, wherein said presence state corresponds to a given user, wherein said transitioning is initiated by said instant messenger client.

Abstract
A method and system for busy presence state detection in an instant messenger system. The method may include detecting a computer system activity level, determining whether the activity level exceeds an activity threshold, and transitioning a presence state of an instant messenger to a busy state in response to determining that the activity level exceeds the activity threshold, where the presence state corresponds to a given user. The system may include a computer system and an instant messenger software module configured to execute on the computer system. The instant messenger software module may be further configured to detect a computer system activity level, determine whether the activity level exceeds an activity threshold, and transition a presence state of the instant messenger software module to a busy state in response to the determination that the activity level exceeds the activity threshold, where the presence state corresponds to a given user.

15. A non-transitory computer-accessible storage medium storing program instructions, wherein the program instructions are computer-executable to:
-
implement an instant messenger client executable on a computer system; detect a computer system activity level indicative of activity of said computer system; determine whether said activity level exceeds an activity threshold in response to said detection; and transition a presence state specific to said instant messenger client to a busy state in response to said determination that said activity level exceeds said activity threshold, wherein said presence state corresponds to a given user, wherein said transition is initiated by said instant messenger client. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
