Method and system for initiating communication via a communication network
First Claim
1. A method of communicating between a first user and a second user, comprising:
- using a first communication application that is in execution on a first system, transmitting from the first system by the first user a first signal for delivery to the second user via a second communication application;
delivering the first signal to the second user via the second communication application when the second communication application is in execution on a third system that is associated with the second user;
performing by a processor of a second system at least one of video, audio, and image analytics of electronically sensed data to determine a presence of the second user at the third system when the second communication application is other than in execution on the third system; and
,in dependence upon determining that the second user is present at the third system, based on a result of the at least one of video, audio, and image analytics, providing the second user with a first indication indicative of the first signal, the first indication provided via a pervasive communication application that is in execution on the third system and that is other than either of the first communication application or the second communication application.

Abstract
A method of communicating between a first user and a second user comprises using a first system to transmit, from the first user, a first signal for delivery to the second user. In particular, the first signal is transmitted via a first communication application. At least one of video, audio, and image analytics of electronically sensed data is performed to determine a presence of the second user at a third system. When the second user is determined to be present at the third system, the second user is provided with a first indication indicative of the first signal, the first indication being provided via a pervasive communication application in execution on the third system and other than the first communication application.

11. A method of communicating between a first user and a second user, comprising:
-
associating the first user with a first system having a first processor for executing a first communication application; associating the second user with a second system having a second processor for executing a second communication application; using the first communication application in execution on the first system, transmitting from the first system to the second system via a communication network a first signal for delivery to the second user via the second communication application; delivering the first signal to the second user via the second communication application when the second communication application is in execution on the second system; using an electronic sensor, capturing at least one of video, audio and image data at a location of the second system when the second communication application is other than in execution on the second system; comparing the captured at least one of video, audio and image data with template data relating to the second user; and
,in dependence upon identifying uniquely the second user based on determining a match between the template data and the at least one of video, audio and image data, providing to the second user a first indication indicative of the first signal, the first indication provided via a pervasive communication application that is in execution on the second system and that is other than either of the first communication application or the second communication application. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
