20080201438 | Instant messaging activity notification - A method of communicating user activity in a messaging system. The method comprises: monitoring an input region displayed to a first user of the messaging system in a client executed at a user terminal of the first user; responsive to receiving a user activated input at the input region, analysing the input and using the analysis to match the input to a type of user activity from a predetermined set of user activities; and transmitting a message comprising data representing the type of user activity from the user terminal of the first user to a user terminal of at least one other user of the messaging system over a communications network. | 08-21-2008 |
20090316685 | Communication system - A method of communicating user participation status information for a communication event in a communication system is provided. The method comprises: transmitting a group communication event connection request from one user of the communication system to a plurality of second users of the communication system; detecting if at least one of said second users has established a communication event connection in response to receiving the request; generating a notification message indicating the participation status of said at least one second user, wherein said participation status indicates if said at least one second user has established a communication event connection in response to receiving the request; and transmitting the notification message to at least one other of said second users. | 12-24-2009 |
20090316686 | Communication system - A method is provided of authorising a user of a communication system to be added to a group communication event. The method comprises: selecting a group of users of the communication system; initiating from a host node the group communication event with the group of users; responsive to receiving a group communication acceptance from at least a first user in the group, establishing the group communication event with the first user in the group; receiving at the host node a communication set up request from another user of the communication system; analysing the communication set up request to determine if said communication set up request is associated with said group communication event initiated by the host node; and adding said other user to the group communication event if it is determined that the communication set up request is associated with said group communication event. | 12-24-2009 |
20120296976 | Delivering Messages in a Communication System - Message delivery systems and methods for delivering messages to a computing system are described. The system uses a message ID structure and a message ID database to allow a user to check whether he or she is recipient of a new message without having to contact the message server that holds messages to be delivered. The resource load related to users checking for messages is therefore left to a separate computing system, allowing the message server to dedicate its resources to the receiving and delivering of messages. | 11-22-2012 |
20130205226 | Instant Messaging Activity Notification - User activity is communicated in a messaging system. Communication is performed by monitoring an input region displayed to a first user of the messaging system in a client executed at a user terminal of the first user; responsive to receiving a user activated input at the input region, analyzing the input and using the analysis to match the input to a type of user activity from a predetermined set of user activities; and transmitting a message comprising data representing the type of user activity from the user terminal of the first user to a user terminal of at least one other user of the messaging system over a communications network. | 08-08-2013 |
