First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for managing diagnostic sessions in a communication network, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining presence information of at least one mobile station and other mobile stations on its associated buddy list of mobile stations;
estimating a usage probability of the at least one mobile station based on the presence information of the at least one mobile station and the other mobile stations on its associated buddy list of mobile stations, the usage probability being the probability that the at least one mobile station will successfully complete a diagnostic procedure in a Diagnostic Management session; and
implementing the Diagnostic Management session in response to the usage probability.

Abstract
A system a method for managing diagnostic sessions in a communication network includes a first step (604) of determining presence information of at least one mobile station. A next step (610) includes estimating a usage probability of the at least one mobile station based on the presence information. A next step (614) includes implementing a Diagnostic Management session in response to the usage probability.

9. A method for managing diagnostic sessions in a communication network, the method comprising the steps of:
-
establishing a diagnostic policy that defines diagnostic procedures to be performed in a Diagnostic Management session by a mobile station in response to presence availability and calendar availability for that mobile station; determining presence information of at least one active mobile station in a coverage area of a Diagnostic Management Server; determining presence information of other mobile stations on a buddy list of mobile stations associated with the at least one active mobile station; qualifying the at least one active mobile station for implementation of a Diagnostic Management session, based on the presence information of the at least one active mobile station and the other mobile stations on its associated buddy list of mobile stations; estimating a usage probability of the at least one active mobile station based on the presence information of the at least one active mobile station and the other mobile stations on its associated buddy list of mobile stations, the usage probability being the probability that the at least one mobile station will successfully complete the diagnostic procedures in the Diagnostic Management session; comparing the usage probability for each mobile station against a statistical history metric of Diagnostic Management session completion success rate for that mobile station; and implementing a Diagnostic Management session in response to the usage probability and attributes of the at least one active mobile station. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system for managing diagnostic sessions in a communication network, the system comprising:
-
at least one mobile station and presence information associated therewith; and at least one other mobile station on an associated buddy list of the at least one mobile station, the at least one mobile station having a usage probability estimated based on the presence information of the at least one mobile station and the other mobile stations on its associated buddy list of mobile stations, the usage probability being the probability that the at least one mobile station will successfully complete a diagnostic procedure in a Diagnostic Management session, and wherein the at least one mobile station is operable to implement the Diagnostic Management session in response to the usage probability. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
