Abstract

The present invention discloses a method, a system, and an advertisement server for disseminating advertisements by means of presence information, so as to solve the problem that the advertisement dissemination by means of a presence system can not be recorded effectively in the prior art. The method disclosed in the present invention comprises: subscribing to, by the watcher, the presence information of the presentity; publishing, by the presentity, the presence information with advertisement information and presentity ID to the presence server; notifying, by the presence server, the watcher of the presence information with presentity ID; sending, by the watcher, the presentity ID to the advertisement server; and, recording, by the advertisement server, the presentity ID. Because the advertisement server records the presentity ID, it knows how the watcher obtains the advertisement, and thereby can record the advertisement dissemination effectively.

subscribing to, by a watcher, the presence information of a presentity;

publishing, by the presentity, the presence information with advertisement information and a presentity ID to a presence server;

notifying, by the presence server, the watcher of the presence information with the presentity ID;

sending, by the watcher, the presentity ID to an advertisement server; and

recording, by the advertisement server, the presentity ID.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

subscribing to, by the advertisement server, the presence information of the presentity;

between the step in which the presentity publishes the presence information with the advertisement information and presentity ID to the presence server and the step in which the presence server notifies the watcher of the presence information with the presentity ID, or, between the step in which the presence server notifies the watcher of the presence information with the presentity ID and the step in which the watcher sends the presentity ID to the advertisement server and the advertisement server records the identification ID,

notifying, by the presence server, the advertisement server of the presence information with the presentity ID; and

after the watcher sends the presentity ID to the advertisement server and the advertisement server records the presentity ID,

matching, by the advertisement serve, the presentity ID sent by the watcher to the presentity ID notified by the presence server, and recording a result.

3. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

playing, by the watcher, advertisement content.

4. The method according to claim 3, further comprising:

sending, by the advertisement server, a feedback message to the presentity and/or the presence server.

5. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

playing, by the watcher, the advertisement content, and notifying the advertisement server of a message indicating that the watcher has played the advertisement.

6. The method according to claim 5, further comprising:

sending, by the advertisement server, the feedback message to the presentity and/or the presence server.

7. The method according to claim 4, further comprising:

sending, by the watcher, the presentity ID to the advertisement server, and obtaining the advertisement content from the advertisement server;

recording, by the advertisement server, the presentity ID; and

sending, by the advertisment server, the feedback message to the presentity and/or the presence server when the advertisement server determines that the presentity ID sent by the watcher matches the presentity ID notified by the presence server completely and that it is the first time that the watcher obtains the advertisement content.

8. The method according to claim 7, further comprising:

publishing, by the presentity, the presence information to the presence server;

notifying, by the presence server, the advertisement server of the presence information that meets filtering rules preset by the advertisement server;

choosing, by the advertisement server, the advertisement that meets preset sending rules according to categorizing rules and the presence information, and

sending, via an SIP message, a message in which the advertisement content or advertisement URL is included, to the presentity, or

directly pushing the advertisement content to the presentity.

9. The method according to claim 2, further comprising:

publishing, by the presentity, the presence information to the presence server;

notifying, by the presence server, the advertisement server of the presence information that meets filtering rules preset by the advertisement server;

choosing, by the advertisement server, the advertisement that meets the preset sending rules according to categorizing rules and the presence information, and

sending, via an SIP message, a message in which the advertisement content or advertisement URL is included, to the presentity, or

directly pushing the advertisement content to the presentity.

10. A method for disseminating advertisements by means of presence information, comprising:

subscribing to, by an advertisement server, the presence information of a presentity;

publishing, by the presentity, the presence information to a presence server;

notifying, by the presence server, the advertisement server of the presence information that meets filtering rules preset by the advertisement server; and
