Fig. 3 shows the process flow diagram according to the exemplary processes 300 of the embedded personalized communication of an embodiment.When the user on client 110 during accessed web page A.COM, embedded software module (small tool (widget)) (305) on the Web page loading.According to user's browser, small tool can load when Web page loading automatically, or the visitor of webpage must activate it.By clicking small tool presenting on webpage 110, be rolled to webpage and make small tool enter the physics visual field etc., can realize activating.Small tool indication client 110 is obtained configuration file (310) from configuration server 170.Configuration file identification related with small tool and surperficial on and the related user's (for example, profile is likely the same user of the embedded small tool code of placement on A.COM the user on the MYSPACE.COM) of A.COM, user's visual preference, title, another name and the small tool out of Memory that is used for instantiation that may need.Utilization is from information that configuration file read, present instant message tool for transmitting user interface 111 on A.COM, it has specific title, color scheme and indication existence or the state elements (being set to off-line under the default situation) (315) about the possessory information of small tool.

Client 110 is connected to the Jabber module (320) of web server 130.User's request of client 110 starts session as anonymous guest from server 130.Server 130 makes anonymous guest sign in to Jabber guest server 140.Jabber guest server 140 starts the IM session and informs that web server 130 anonymous guest are online.The Jabber module 130 of A.COM web server shows as visitor Jabber user for Jabber guest server 140, for example the client of Jabber guest server 140.

Instant message user interface 111 sends the subscription request message by A.COM web server 130 to Jabber guest server 140, so as request allow to receive with the user of A.COM Webpage correlation have information (325).Make judgement, so that the user who determines IM user interface 121 whether available (330).If the user on the instant message user interface 121 can use, subscription request (335) is accepted in then related with that user on the web server 160 IM session automatically.Then, web server 160 is made response (340) with the identical subscription request that has information to the visitor Jabber user on the Jabber guest server 140.Make judgement, so that the user who determines IM user interface 111 whether available (345).On behalf of the user on the A.COM, the Jabber module on the web server 130 also accept described request (350) automatically.Like this, the two ends of this communication plan can both receive now about the existing of the other side (and relevant) information.Set up the IM session now, the interface is upgraded so that reflect connected state (365).Two users can both start instant messaging (370).

In another embodiment, if the user on the instant message user interface 121 can use, the user on the interface 121 does not accept subscription request automatically, the substitute is, can receive that the user with interface 111 adds the prompting of instant messaging conversation to, have information thereby subscribe to.Can also ask the user on the interface 121 to add the user on the interface 111 to his/her buddy list.

Server

130 and 160 upgrades their

user interfaces

111 and 121 separately, so that indicate two users all available.Each user's real-time status is held.For example, if his state of the user on the interface 121 is set to " leaving " and comprises the leave group message of customization, then user interface 111 is updated to demonstration and " leaves " state and related message (360).User interface 121 also indicates another user using the small tool related with specific identity.This identity can be the classification (for example " social networking small tool ") of the data defined that reads in from configuration file.Described identity can also be indicated the embedded webpage of small tool (for example A.COM).This can realize by the another kind of implementation that is positioned at the CGI scripting on another web server or returns embedded web page exactly of utilizing configuration file, operation to make response with the webpage that comprises.

If the user on the webpage A.COM does not close session clearly and (for example closes browser, leave webpage etc.) just leave instant messaging session, then default overtime (for example in one embodiment, 45 seconds) afterwards, server 130 is thought and is lost with being connected of client 110.Method rebulids connection as described above.If the webpage on the A.COM 110 is reloaded, and if instant messaging session setting up before, then it will be terminated and restart according to process 300.

If the user on the webpage A.COM attempts to get in touch the user of IM user interface 121, and the user of IM user interface 121 does not login, the user on the webpage A.COM still can send message.This message can comprise initial subscription request.Described message will be stored on the non-guest server 150 of Jabber, be his service (360) then when the user logins.Subscription request be buffered and situation about postponing under, in case the user signs in to interface 121, then IM server 160 still accepts request automatically.Before this, the visitor on the user interface 111 is considered as off-line with the owner of small tool; In case (described above) subscription handshake is finished, then interface 111 is updated, so that the possessory new state of reflection small tool.If the message that is delayed adopts the form of instant message, then still available and be present under the situation on the webpage 110 the Jabber user on the interface 111, the user on the interface 121 can make response.

In one embodiment, if the Guest User has stopped session before the message that the registration Jabber user from the web server 160 that uses interface 121 sends to the visitor Jabber user on the interface 111 is received, then abandon this message.

The user of small tool can at any time stop connecting by clicking disconnection IM user interface 111.This has cancelled effectively from all of both sides and exist to subscribe to and closed the network connection, thereby is through with talk and stopped in the future the notice in the existence of both sides.For both sides, the opposing party looks like off-line.This makes the visitor of webpage 110 have in the possessory ability of not wanting to talk or want to ignore under the situation with the mode browsing page of anonymity small tool.Small tool is remembered the preference of visitor for this example, so, based on the preference of visitor's last time, forbid keeping or allow repeatedly to return the webpage 110 that comprises small tool 111 for cut-off push button.

In one embodiment, visitor's preference goes for all small tools 111 rather than the specific example on all webpages 110.This preference is stored among the small-sized literal archives cookie of client-side.

In the time that the small tool at client 110 places can also be followed the tracks of user capture webpage A.COM, and this information sent to user on the IM user interface 121.Length of session and similar information can be stored in server 160, so that the analysis and the generation (comprising advertisement measuring) of metering.

Cookie can be stored in client 110, so that follow the tracks of the frequency that client 110 signs in to A.COM.Cookie also can be used to store the user's who uses client 110 another name.Hash algorithm also can be used to distribute unique identifier to client 110, and it is stored on the IM server 160 based on web.In addition, if the user opens other pane or the window browsed, the IM session of then having set up can not interrupted.

Use has the ability of seeing all connected small tools from buddy list based on the owner of the small tool of the IM webpage 120 of web, and has by the simple input on the IM user interface 121 once to the ability of all users broadcasting message that are connected to small tool.Those broadcasts are by the small tool decipher of webpage 110 and be reflected in the user interface 111.Reflection in the user interface 111 of small tool is not limited to the plain text content, and can be the variation of the visual layout at interface 111, as expression people's the picture or the icon of current state, perhaps can be the broadcast to the audio files of reminding the visitor to note to change.

In one embodiment, the user on the A.COM can utilize interface 111 initiatively to close session, thereby stops the IM session.Then, visitor Jabber state of user is upgraded in user interface 121.The Guest User has set up new session if webpage is not reloaded, and then web server 130 (and Jabber guest server 140) uses same Guest Account, so user interface 121 will exist information to be considered as from same user.

In another embodiment, no matter the visitor of A.COM moves or reload the page, all use same interim visitor Jabber user account.The user at interface 111 can keep with being connected of web server 130 in the subpage of browsing page 110.The possessory user interface 121 of small tool on the non-guest server 140 of Jabber can show information or other relevant information of the behavior of browsing about it.A kind of method that can realize this point is by come memory access person's configuration credentials with cookie or the another kind of method relevant with the browser storage.Another embodiment can comprise and the communicating by letter of the server of A.COM, so that store session information.
