Abstract

A ubiquitous presence service method and system is disclosed, wherein the list of subscribers is managed in the replay platform, and the presence of each service from the application server is integrated through one route, and is then integrally managed so that they are provided based on 3A anytime, anywhere and regardless of the device, whereby the subscriber who receives the information about the present status of the application services operated by the various application servers can integrally manage his(her) own presence profiles, and the application server can provide the subscription authorities of the presence service to the consistent interface. The ubiquitous presence service method comprises receiving presence information including a present or updated status of application service from one or more application servers; and transmitting the received presence information to at least one subscriber terminal.

Claims

1. A ubiquitous presence service method comprising:

receiving presence information comprising a present status or updated status of an application service from one or more application servers; and

transmitting the received presence information to at least one subscriber terminal.

2. The ubiquitous presence service method of claim 1, wherein the received presence information is transmitted using a communication method supported by the corresponding subscriber terminal based on a type of each subscriber terminal.

3. The ubiquitous presence service method of claim 2, wherein the communication method includes one or more methods of TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), SMS (Short Message Service), UDP (User Datagram Protocol), and P2P (Peer to Peer).

4. The ubiquitous presence service method of claim 1, further comprising registering provider information comprising a location list of application information to be the presence service from one or more application servers before receiving the presence information,

wherein receiving the presence information comprises receiving the presence information updated from the location list of the application information from the one or more application servers.

5. The ubiquitous presence service method of claim 1, wherein the received presence information is transmitted using at least one data format of XML (eXtensible Markup Language), HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), and binary format, supported by the corresponding subscriber terminal based on a type of each subscriber terminal.

6. The ubiquitous presence service method of claim 1, further comprising:

transmitting a location list of application information to be the presence service to a user terminal in response to a request from the user terminal; and

registering user information corresponding to the user terminal and selection information about at least one location selected by a user from the location list of the application information as subscriber information,

wherein transmitting the received presence information comprises transmitting the presence information updated at the corresponding location of the subscriber information.

7. The ubiquitous presence service method of claim 1, wherein the application service includes MO (Mobile Origination)-based service in which the application information to be the presence service is updated according to information uploaded from a user terminal.

8. The ubiquitous presence service method of claim 1, wherein the received presence information is transmitted by an asynchronous transmission method when transmitting the received presence information.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored thereon, which when executed, performs the method of claim 1.

9. A ubiquitous presence service method comprising:

integrating presence information for each application service operated by an application server using a relay platform between the application server and various types of ubiquitous terminals through a single route, and integrally managing the presence information; and

transmitting the presence information in a data format supported by the corresponding terminal to at least one of the terminals registered for a subscription to the presence service to at least one part of the presence information desired to receive.

11. A ubiquitous presence service system, comprising:

a presence gateway configured to receive presence information including information about a present status or an updated status of an application service; and

a presence transmitting unit configured to transmit the received presence information.

12. The ubiquitous presence service system of claim 11, wherein the presence transmitting unit is configured to distinguish various types of each subscriber terminal, and transmit the received presence information using a communication method supported by the corresponding subscriber terminal.

13. The ubiquitous presence service system of claim 11, further comprising a provider managing unit configured to register provider information comprising a location list of application information to be the presence service in a database on a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the presence gateway is configured to receive the presence information updated from the location list of the application information from the application server.

14. The ubiquitous presence service system of claim 11, further comprising a subscriber managing unit configured to transmit a location list of application information to be the presence service to a corresponding user terminal in response to a request from the user terminal, and to register user information corresponding to the user terminal and selection information about at least one location selected by a user from the location list of the application information as subscriber information, wherein the presence transmitting unit is configured to transmit the presence information updated at the corresponding location according to the subscriber information.

15. The ubiquitous presence service system of claim 11, wherein the presence transmitting unit comprises:

a ubiquitous notification service unit configured to receive the presence information when the presence information is a previously-designated data format; and

one or more brokers configured to transmit the received presence information to each ubiquitous subscriber terminal,

wherein the broker supporting the transmission of the data format, among the brokers, is configured to transmit the received presence information according to the corresponding communication method of the subscriber terminal.

16. The ubiquitous presence service system of claim 15, wherein the ubiquitous notification service unit is configured to transmit a UED file for a user interface to the subscriber terminal in response to a request of the subscriber terminal;

the broker is configured to transmit the received presence information according to a binary protocol of the data format designated in the UED file; and

the subscriber terminal is configured to display the received presence information converted into a type based on a template obtained by parsing the UED file.

17. The ubiquitous presence service system of claim 11, wherein the presence transmitting unit comprises:

a ubiquitous contents gateway configured to determine a data transmission format of a subscriber terminal; and

one or more user interface logics configured to transmit the received presence information to each ubiquitous subscriber terminal,

wherein the ubiquitous contents gateway is configured to select any one user interface logic supporting the data transmission of the data format among the user interface logics according to the determination result; and

the selected user interface logic is configured to convert the received presence information into the data format to transmit the converted data according to the communication method of the subscriber terminal.

18. The ubiquitous presence service system of claim 17, wherein the user interface logics are configured to receive MO-based contents uploaded from the ubiquitous subscriber terminal.

19. The ubiquitous presence service system of claim 11, wherein the presence transmitting unit comprises an asynchronous transmission processor configured to transmit the received presence information by an asynchronous transmission method.
