具体实施方式
通过使用户能够为高级无线通信装置的其他用户提供拟人化信息,本发明能够为电话或其他移动装置提供高级识别功能。每一用户均可创建其自身的一个或多个个人化呈现形式并将该信息推至其他用户。所述服务一般由企业服务提供商或蜂窝式网络运营商通过一个或多个服务器来实现。用户可订购所述服务,从而使其能够创建及分发拟人化信息或“角色”子集、或者仅参与所述系统中从订户接收拟人化信息。由于各装置具有不同的功能,因而系统向每一装置提供拟人化信息的能力将有所不同,且在一实施例中,存储系统中每一成员的用户装置类型及其功能。为将拟人化信息保持于数据存储器中并提供与系统相关联的功能度,企业服务提供商所提供的本发明方法及实施系统和应用程序可收取服务费用。
一般而言,用户会创建自己的拟人化来向其他电话用户识别其自己,所述拟人化信息可包括用户的联络信息、特征、像片、多媒体信息及特定铃声。许多蜂窝式电话包括下载特定铃声的能力并通过如下方式使用这些铃声来识别呼入的呼叫方:使铃声和照片与电话中的联络信息相关联并使用呼叫方ID功能对其进行触发。本发明的系统使用户能够规定其自己的铃声并使用其来向其他用户识别其自己。除拟人化信息中的静态信息外,用户还可向其他用户或参与者提供动态信息,例如GPS位置、时区、可用性、及与事件相关的信息(例如一关于今天是呼叫方生日的提醒、或者日历表事件或分派给呼叫方或由呼叫方所分派的任务的汇总)或控制信息。
图1显示一种根据本发明的大体方法。在步骤202中,一订户通过提供帐户创建信息来加入系统中。在步骤202中,用户可使用一用户名、一安全口令来建立一帐户,并提供其他配置信息。该步骤可通过一基于电话的界面或通过一基于网络的界面或者任何其他适当的界面途径来实施。
在步骤204中,用户可设定用户自己的拟人化信息。这在图式中有时称作创建或更新“me(我自己)”。如在表206中所示,用户拟人化数据可包括用户的姓名、地址、电话号码及任何其他联络信息、用户的照片、对应于用户的特定铃声、及可通过各种方式联络用户的可用时间的时间表。此外,用户还可输入用户的位置信息。位置信息可具体到各种程度,并可在开始时人工输入或者在一具备GPS功能的电话中通过与GPS系统的连接来输入。可使用电话的GPS代理程序通过电话上的代理程序来更新用户系统的位置部分中的信息。所述铃声可由用户加载或者可从由系统管理员作为服务的一部分提供的铃声中选取,或者用户可使用装置的麦克风(如果配备)创作一新的音频剪辑来用作铃声。视需要,增值媒体分发商可提供电话,并包含在系统中的数字版权管理以确保恰当地控制本发明系统内的版权材料。电话制造商、移动电话运营商或另一实体也可增加DRM功能度,此可决定可重新分发那些(及如何重新分发)受保护的内容。应认识到,步骤204是可选的,且用户可决定不提供拟人化信息,而是仅参与到系统中来获取其他用户的拟人化信息。在另一实施例中,接收拟人化信息并不要求订购由ESP所提供的高级ID服务。
如在下文中所进一步详细说明,可为用户的联络信息中的不同的个人群体提供不同组的拟人化信息(或“角色”)。例如,用户可能希望一个联络人群体接收到一组拟人化信息(例如商务联络人),而另一组联络人(例如个人朋友)接收到不同的一组信息。通过定义群体,使用户能够定义接收到联络信息的特定版本的接收方。用户可使用一在移动装置上所提供的界面、或者另一选择为通过某种其他界面(例如网页或一管理配置控制台)将一个或多个用户分配到一特定群体中。另外,用户可规定一可供任何人下载(并将自动地分配给用户装置中的新联络人)的“公共”角色。系统或代理程序将群体分配情况保持于永久性的存储器中。系统或代理程序使用上文所述的技术将适用于每一群体的信息传输至该群体中的各个成员。企业服务提供商可允许用户在系统中建立帐户时具有一缺省的角色。例如,系统可建立缺省的公众朋友、家庭、同事、商业伙伴、及黑名单角色模板,从而在用户加入系统时立即使用户能够输入某些信息并具有所建立的角色。黑名单角色旨在分配给那些所述用户不想向其公开信息的朋友。
在步骤208中,通过若干种方式中的一种向ESP提供新订户的联络记录,并探测所述订户的联络记录与其他订户之间的关系。该输入可简单到下载所述用户已存储于其电话中的电话号码,或者可包含使系统能够判定各个个人是否为系统中的成员的其他联络信息。此外,订户可在创建帐户期间人工输入联络人,或者从另一个源下载联络信息,例如从个人计算机或个人数字助理上的个人信息管理器中下载联络信息。也可提供一搜索机构,从而使用户能够输入关于各个个人的信息以判定某个个人是否为系统的一部分。例如,如果用户不具有所存储的个人信息资源,则用户可通过网络浏览器来访问一由系统管理方所提供的表格,所述表格提供姓名及其他联络栏,系统可使用所述姓名及其他联络栏来搜索参与到所述系统中的其他用户。一旦找到该信息,便随后将该信息提供给用户。
根据本发明的系统,可在各用户之间建立不同类型的链接。一般而言,一用户的联络人列表存在于电话数据库中的用户地址簿中。由于人类交流的性质,有可能某个人的地址簿中的一联络人也同样存在于该联络人自己的地址簿中。例如,假定Bob与Alice两人为朋友,他们将有可能在其各自的地址簿中具有彼此的联络信息。可利用人们之间的这种互反的链接来辨认及区分不同类型的链接。根据本发明,当一个用户在其地址簿中具有另一用户的联络信息、但另一用户却不互换时,会出现“半”链接的用户。这些用户并不连接进行数据交换,且可为未链接的用户提供在图4及5中所提供的邀请功能,以使他们有机会订购系统并与邀请方建立一真正的链接。当两个用户在其移动装置的电话簿中具有彼此的联络信息时,便存在“真正”或“直接”链接的用户。这些用户已在企业服务提供商所提供的服务以外或通过系统的“Invitation(邀请)”功能建立了某种程度的关系,并将自动地交换并保持每一用户所已配置的任何信息。在上文说明的上下文中,“朋友”是任何已与某一个人用户建立了真正链接的用户。出于私密性以及实用性,系统中的信息交换仅在真正链接的用户之间进行。彼此之间仅具有一半链接的用户可要求半链接的用户加入系统中并建立一真正的链接。
当用户在步骤204中向服务主机提供其自己的拟人化信息时,步骤208可包括一如下步骤:通过检查提供给服务器的用户地址簿的内容来探测他们之间的链接。为识别系统的所有用户群中的每一用户,系统使用电话号码且在一实施例中使用电子邮件地址作为唯一的密钥。在又一实施例中,无论电话号码的格式、国家及区域编码如何,本发明的系统均可使用电话号码等价算法来使电话号码匹配。
希望移除其信息并“解除与另一用户的链接”的用户只需要从其移动装置的地址簿中移除该用户即可。通过使用所述系统的规则,这两个用户将不再链接并不再在他们之间出现进一步更新的信息。在该过程中,不从解除链接方的地址簿中删除任何信息。为实现这一目的,用户可能希望将另一用户分配到一“黑名单”角色来代替解除链接。
在步骤208中,一旦已获得联络人信息,即建立了订户的合同与其他订户之间的关系。此可通过一种由ESP运行的算法来自动进行、可由用户人工设定、或者可通过这两者的某种组合来进行。
视需要,在步骤210中,可为订户提供邀请其他人来变成订户的机会。可提醒用户判定所述用户是否想要邀请存储于用户电话中的联络人变为订户以因订购而额外受益。若用户想要邀请其他人,则在步骤212中执行一邀请过程。
视需要,在步骤214中,可为订户提供选项来允许将其角色提供给非订户。如果用户期望递送其信息,则一递送过程216将拟人化信息传输至非订户用户。如下文所述,此可通过任意数量的方式来进行,例如(举例而言)通过SyncML或通过SMS消息来进行。
在步骤218中,将来自订户的联络人列表中其他订户的拟人化信息递送至新的订户,并将新订户的信息发送至其他订户。如下文所述,也为订户的联络人是真正链接的用户210且自动地进入新订户的电话中。所述信息可在一直接传送至代理程序的数据流中传输至用户,然后进入用户的电话数据中。另一选择为,可在一系列消息中提供所述信息。较佳将通过SyncML来传输所述信息。
在角色信息中包含是否应提醒订户的联络人注意订户的位置,订户的位置是基于系统订户的GPS或者订户在其自己的记录中人工输入的位置信息。还可包含例如订户的联络人可得知的粒度。例如,可允许某个人得知国家、城市或一更具体的位置。一旦接收到所述信息,接收成员便可根据所接收的信息来进一步配置所述订户的角色信息。例如,假定另一成员在其成员记录中提供位置信息。用户可规定用户希望在具有位置信息的成员移至一特定位置或距作出规定的成员一特定距离时得到通知。也可配置例如群体信息等其他准则。例如,用户可规定每一成员属于哪些群体,以便如果该成员请求关于作出规定的用户的拟人化信息,则向发出请求的成员提供正确的群体信息。
最后,在步骤220中,新订户可更新其角色中的信息。当新订户这样作时,所述信息会重新传输至真正链接的订户且如果得到允许,非订户会参与到所述系统中。作为装置上数据改动的结果,可由客户端应用程序在装置上启动更新。出现这种情况可能是因为用户与装置相互作用,或者改动例如时区等暂态信息。可按两种方式中的一种进行更新。由服务器发起的更新是通过时间间隔或者通过要发送至用户装置的数据的改动来触发。由服务器发起的更新是通过与客户端的直接插座连接或通过从服务器发送至所述装置上客户端应用程序的SMS消息来处理的。每一高级ID帐户均支持一可配置的“由服务器发起的同步的接通/断开(server initiated sync on/off)”设定值,该设定值控制当一客户端过期时是否自动地发送SMS消息。来自服务器的SMS消息可发送至文本端口(或者所配置的数据端口-如果恰当)。
图2显示在一订户已根据本发明与企业服务提供商建立关系并在用户的电话100上安装应用程序140后的本发明方法。在步骤500,当订户b从另一已将用户的信息下载至用户电话内的成员(订户A)接收到一呼叫时,高级呼叫方识别功能可在用户电话上在步骤506中提供一成员的信息。
在一个方面中,所述系统支持既控制呼叫用户的电话又控制被呼叫用户的电话。在步骤501中,如果订户B已配置其角色(其下载至订户A)来阻止在某一时间周期期间的呼叫,则呼叫用户的电话上的客户端应用程序可阻止订户A在该周期期间连接至订户B。因此,在步骤501中,所述方法可根据订户B的配置来检查(在订户A的电话上)是否允许呼叫订户B。如果不允许,则可向订户A提供一告警503。
在步骤502中,如果由订户A发起并由订户B接收到呼叫,则视需要在步骤504中,接收用户可配置电话来阻止在一特定时间周期期间的呼叫。因此,在步骤504中,所述方法可检查判定接收用户是否允许在一特定周期期间的呼叫。如果不允许呼叫,则所述方法可在步骤512中阻止呼叫。如果不阻止呼叫,则在接收呼叫方的电话上显示所述用户的高级ID信息(角色)。而如果阻止呼叫,则可将其引导至接收方的语音邮件系统。高级ID或角色是用于界定用户的信息集合,例如电话号码、电子邮件地址、照片、地理位置信息及其他数据。这使订户能够管理其自己的“个人品牌”,从而控制如何在其他用户的电话上呈现所述订户一规定一铃声还是与其联络人相关联的照片。如在本文中所述,一个人可具有包含不同信息或不同组信息的“朋友”角色及“同事”角色。还提供例如由具备GPS信息能力的电话所提供的地理位置信息等其他功能,如同提供关于具暂态性质的呼叫方的信息一例如今天是否是呼叫方的生日或周年纪念日、或关于电话呼叫、会议、或分派给呼叫方或由呼叫方所分派的任务的信息。所述系统可使用一从服务器经由SyncML服务器到SyncML客户端的直推式系统来实施,或者可由一常驻于电话中的与服务侧实施方案进行通信的特定客户端应用程序来操作。SyncML是一种正在开发作为在装置之间进行数据的通用同步的开放式标准的可扩展标记语言(XML)协议。数据的同步使在一个装置(例如智能电话或膝上型计算机)上对数据所作的改动能够立即反映于另一装置(例如联网的计算机)上的数据中。
视需要,在步骤508中,如果已在步骤508中选择所述成员来提供所述成员的GPS信息,则可在步骤510中在一被提供用以显示用户处于一特定位置处或附近的通知中提供所述GPS。
本发明支持两种不同类型的数据:静态数据与动态数据。静态数据可包括用户的铃声、姓名及图像。在步骤506中由呼叫订户向电话100上接收订户的客户端提供静态信息。步骤501显示本发明的一个特征,所述特征使订户能够定义其自己的拟人化信息来控制另一用户的电话一此种动态或“主动控制”信息可比静态角色信息更频繁地得到更新。例如GPS或时区信息等动态信息是根据发送订户的需要来定期地更新。由于客户端140与电话的相互作用,订户可实际上阻止(或仅警告)一呼叫订户呼叫一接收订户的电话并可转而向其提供一用户可配置的消息,所述用户可配置的消息可指令呼叫方使用某种其他机理来联络预期的接收订户(例如SMS、电子邮件等等)。如同所有其他类似的信息一样,此较佳的可用性信息是所存储的用户的角色。
图3显示一种用于实施本发明的系统的总体概略图。如在图3中所示,一无线通信装置(例如电话100)连接至一无线通信链路(例如蜂窝式网络150),以向其他耦合至所述无线网络的装置传输语音及数据通信。应了解,所述无线链路可为无线因特网链路或由蜂窝式网络运营商所维护的蜂窝式网络、GSM或CDMA网络、或某种其他无线通信链路。运营商可包括企业服务提供商或者可与企业服务提供商相独立。数据可按任意数量的已知格式通过网络传输。
还提供一高级ID服务服务器160,其经由无线网路150直接通过一数据连接或者经由一SyncML195与所述电话进行通信。此处说明一种用于实施所述高级ID服务的系统的各种实施例。在图3中,ID服务器160直接与电话100进行通信。在下文所述的替代实施例中,ID系统实施于一例如在第6,671,757号、第6,694,336号或第6,757,696号美国专利中所述的同步系统顶部。

图2所示的系统显示一个适用于本发明中的服务器及客户端系统。在本发明的一替代实施例中,可使用在第6,671,757号、第6,694,336号或第6,757,696号美国专利中所述的同步服务器来构造所述高级ID系统。
一种参照第6,671,757号、第6,694,336号或第6,757,696号专利所述的同步系统包括可提供一对求差发射机/接收机/引擎及呈一装置引擎形式的求差同步器的功能的客户端软件。所述装置引擎可包括至少一个为所述装置引擎在上面运行的装置类型所特有的组件,所述至少一个组件能够从所述装置中提取信息及将所述信息转换成差分信息,并将所述差分信息传输至存储服务器。所利用的存储服务器可为任意类型的存储服务器,例如一因特网服务器或者一FTP服务器,并可从任意的源(例如任意的因特网服务提供商)提供。在同步系统的一关键的方面中,各装置之间或各装置与服务器之间的因特网连接不需要存在于同一时间点上。另外,仅传输那些需要在本发明系统上转接至其他系统的信息改动,以实现快速的响应时间。
来自每一同步客户端装置的数据均与一存储服务器相耦合。在一实施例中,每一装置引擎均执行为使所有系统保持完全同步所需的所有处理。在一个特定时间点上,仅需要将一个装置引擎耦合至所述同步服务器。此使多个系统能够在断开方式下实现同步。每一装置引擎均从服务器下载所有囊封有从上一次同步以来已进行的改动的事务并将其应用于特定装置。改动或差分信息(称作一“数据包”或“改动记录”)是在一个或多个数据包中提供。每一数据包均描述对跨越所有装置引擎的任意及所有传送信息的改动,包括但不限于应用程序数据、文件、文件夹、应用程序设定值等等。每一装置引擎均可控制下载包含应用于所规定本地装置的信息类别的数据包。例如,联络方姓名及电话号码,而另一个则仅需要改动电子邮件、改动档案文件。
可视需要提供对数据包的压缩及加密。每一装置引擎均执行为将该等数据包应用至应用程序数据存储器中该种类型信息所需的本地格式所必需的映射及转译步骤。所述装置引擎还包括使其能够在从上一次更新时起用户已在两个不同系统上对一特定数据字段同时作出数据改动的情况下跟踪不明确的更新的组件。装置引擎的输出包括一输出至同步服务器数据库的数据包。如上文所述,在一既定时刻仅需要一个装置引擎连接至存储服务器850。数据包可存储于存储服务器上,直至由另一装置引擎对存储服务器中的一特定位置作出一请求为止。由一管理服务器(MS)控制对存储服务器中各区域的访问。在一实施例中,每一同步作业均要求每一装置的装置引擎在所述管理服务器中进行注册以验证所述装置并为所述装置引擎提供各单独装置的数据包在存储服务器上的位置。
当将数据从存储服务器返送至增量模块时,增量模块将求差数据返送至特定应用程序的应用程序对象,然后由所述应用程序对象将增量信息转译成用于应用程序的特定界面。一旦一装置引擎已完全应用于一输入流中的所有数据包,其便会产生一系列描述对本地系统所作改动的数据包。所述装置引擎使用本地应用程序对象920来跟踪每一应用程序的实际数据的最新同步版本,然后在出现下一同步请求时由所述增量模块使用其来进行下一数据比较。所产生的数据包可包括若干作业并对在如上文所述分辨不明确的情形中所产生的改动进行编码。
同步服务器在其内部同步求差引擎中及在向外部发送数据和从外部检索数据时使用通用数据记录的概念。
管理服务器支持一验证界面,所述验证界面要求每一装置引擎在实施同步之前在管理服务器中经过验证。某些存储服务器实施方案可对多个装置引擎利用锁定语义来控制对存储器的读取及写入访问。例如,在一般性的FTP请求中,如果两个装置引擎力图同时连接至同一数据,则必须存在某种形式的锁定控制来阻止装置引擎同时访问相同的数据。在此种情形中,管理服务器对照网络中存储的数据来控制装置引擎采集、更新及锁定的释放。
每一装置引擎均由管理服务器唯一地识别及跟踪。这使得能够调整管理服务器和特定类型存储系统与装置引擎组件之间的行为。所有装置引擎组件均带有标记及版本戳以便通过管理服务器进行管理。
在图3中还显示一服务器侧应用程序ID服务控制器应用程序170,其包括一角色管理组件162、一朋友管理组件164、一用户界面166、及一数字版权管理器168。在本发明的各种实施方案中将了解,在服务侧应用程序170内运行的各功能组件可在一种情形中将本发明系统所保持的信息通过一与一充分稳健的SyncML客户端进行相互作用的SyncML服务器195直接推入电话100内。视需要,如本文所述,由服务器侧应用程序170或者客户端侧应用程序140来执行所述控制的某些方面。
根据本发明,应用代理程序140通过无线网络将拟人化信息及对存储于电话100的数据存储器中的拟人化信息所作的改动传送至服务器160。从所述装置进行的用户数据传送可呈数种形式。当客户端利用与服务器160的SyncML通信时,可使用在SyncML技术规范中所提出的标准来进行通信。改动是逐一记录或逐一字段地传输。另一选择为,可通过另一协议来进行通信。SyncML客户端用于使用朋友的公开信息来更新电话的本机地址簿以及从服务器检索角色及链接信息。信息可通过SyncML协议或者通过与服务器160的直接数据链接来进行交换。系统服务器存储及维护每一用户帐户、链接个人及朋友信息以及多媒体内容(由系统提供的及由用户创建的两种)。所述服务器是一独立的服务器并可包含有一例如在第6,671,757号美国专利中所述的同步系统的某些特征。在下文中将进一步详细说明此种结合的细节。如上文所述,通过网络服务器180提供一管理界面。在下文中将显示对该界面的说明。
服务器160以一种使用户数据与电话用户相关联的方式将用户数据存储于拟人化存储器150中。在一实施例中,成批地存储数据-换句话说,以简单文本形式(或二进制形式,此取决于所用数据类型)存储用户的所有记录及信息。使用一使拟人化数据与各个使用者相关联的唯一识别符(UID)将此种信息存储于数据存储器中。所述识别符可为任意随机选择的识别符,只要能唯一地识别用户且使数据与用户相关联即可。在另一个方面中,该用户UID可为一全局唯一识别符(UUID),其是以一种在第6,671,757号、第6,694,336号或第6,757,696号前述美国专利中所述的方式或者其他用于为一既定用户创建单个ID的方式来创建。在再一实施例中,以一种在第6,671,757号、第6,694,336号或第6,757,696号前述专利中所述的方式将用户数据及对用户数据的改动存储于一改动日志中。
可视需要提供一允许一计算机或其他装置190上的用户具有网络浏览器的网络服务器180,以使用户能够配置本发明系统的各个方面。服务器180可具有一类似于计算机160的硬件配置并可包括一个或多个实体计算机。另外,网络服务器180可与服务器160相结合。
在一实施例中,通过一电话界面来配置本发明系统的各个方面。另一选择为,可由用户通过一由网络服务器180经由用户装置190提供的网络界面来配置所述系统。
图4显示一种用于执行由订户向非订户或参与者发出邀请(步骤212)的过程。在步骤302中,一非订户可从另一订户接收到一SMS消息。所述SMS消息可包含用户所必需的所有信息,以将所述信息公开于其当前数据簿中。在一个方面中,此可包括其自身的所有角色信息,所述角色信息呈一种可由一本机或非本机应用程序(例如一SyncML客户端、vCard语法分析程序、或者其他应用程序)读取并包含于电话的本地数据存储器内的格式。如果用户在步骤304中接受所述信息,则可将所述信息殖入用户的数据簿内且在所述订户下一次呼叫时,将在所述用户的电话上显示信息。

按下图19中菜单栏1950中的“persona(角色)”菜单项2100便会显示一在图21A中所示的角色界面21000。
如在图21A中所示,角色屏幕显示若干个角色2110及2112、2114、2116、2118及2120,这些角色为用户提供对如下的简短显示:角色姓名,圆括号中的所述角色被分配给的用户的数量,及用户在所述角色中向其他人显示的图像、用户向其他人显示的姓名及用户向其他人显示的铃声。应认识到,所述界面的组成部分还包括更多的角色组成部分,或者更少的角色组成部分,此视网页上用户界面上的可利用不动产而定。
图21B-21N显示在一电话装置上在界面2100中提供的相同功能度。
图21B显示一角色菜单2130,其包括通往一既定用户的每一所定义角色的链接。在图21B中,这些为“缺省”朋友、同事、家庭、女朋友、及被阻断呼叫方。选择“options(选项)”软键菜单会得到一在图21C中所示的菜单,所述菜单允许用户打开、创建新的角色、编辑当前角色或者删除当前角色。如果用户选择打开一角色(例如缺省角色),则显示在图21D中所示的显示。图21D中的显示表明,对于一既定的“缺省”角色,显示所述角色的姓名、显示相关联的图像“F1 logo”、显示铃声“moonstar.mid”、显示与所述角色相关联的昵称并显示与所述角色相关联的一工作号码及家庭号码。通过导航至所述姓名及使用一电话输入选择机制进行选择来选择所述角色姓名,会得到图21E中所示的显示,所述显示为用户提供一将软键改动至“ok”及“assign(分配)”的选择。选择“assigned(分配)”软键会得到在图21F中所示的显示,其显示已由所述用户分配给该特定角色的用户。现在返回图21C,选择“new(新的)”菜单项会得到一在图21D中所示的模板。所述模板中的所有项均为空白,从而允许用户通过一软菜单选择按钮来添加在图21D中所示的每一个条目。如在图21G中所示,预殖入的唯一菜单条目是用户的电话号码。按压图21D中的添加姓名选择会得到图21H中的显示,从而允许用户通过电话的文本输入方法来输入所述角色的姓名。图211显示选择图21H底部的“multitap(全键文本输入法)”便使用户能够使用数种文本输入方法,例如multitap(全键文本输入法)、数字、T9字输入、或符号。一旦已在图21H中规定了姓名,便显示图21J中的显示-其图解说明所述角色的姓名。当用户已选择了图21J中的“add(添加)”软键及与一添加图形的选项相关联的条目时,会得到图21K。图21K显示那些“位于电话上(on the phone)”的图形或图像条目并允许用户选择其中一个所显示的条目。如果用户选择“bird(鸟)”条目,则所显示的图像示于图21L中。同样地,图21M显示一可供用户使用的铃声的列表,且图21M显示用户能删除铃声。
图22是一根据本发明显示于网络浏览器中的使用户能够管理图像的图形用户界面。在栏22/20中显示可供用户使用的图像,同时在栏22/40中显示一相关联的昵称并在栏22/50中显示一编辑功能超级链接。显示用户的一缺省图像2110,以便假如所述用户创建角色,就将使用所述缺省图像。提供一包含一浏览选择按钮及一提交按钮2216的加载界面2212,从而允许用户向其帐户加载各种图像。一高级下载项部分2660为用户提供通往所述用户要根据增值服务提供商的条款来下载及利用的增值服务提供商内容的链接。
图23显示一根据本发明用于管理铃声的界面,所述界面由网络服务器180在一用户界面及网络浏览器中提供。一“My Ringtones(我的铃声)”窗口2310包括已加载的或者可通过用户帐户提供给用户的铃声的列表2320。铃声名称显示于栏2320中,艺术家显示于栏2330中且试听显示于超级链接2340中。同样地,用户的缺省铃声显示于2312处且以一种有些类似于图像加载界面的方式提供一加载界面。同样,可提供一增值下载部分2350,以使一数字内容提供商能够通过该界面提供可下载的增值内容。一包括一浏览按钮2315及提交按钮2316的加载界面2314使用户能够以一种众所熟知的方式向其帐户的铃声部分中进行添加。
图24显示在选择图19所示菜单栏1950中的链接2400时的一“My Details(我的详细情况)”界面2400。界面2400使用户能够管理与用户帐户相关联的信息。个人信息部分2412使用户能够输入及改动用户的名、中间名及姓、以及用户的昵称和详细个人信息,例如其生日、周年纪念日及配偶姓名。家庭信息及公司信息部分2420及2430使用户能够规定用户的若干个联络点及联络号码,然后使用所述联络点及联络号码来使用户能够根据上文说明创建角色。
如上文所述,当根据参照第6,671,757号、第6,694,336号或第6,757,696号美国专利所示及所述的同步系统来实施该系统时,可存在不同于图3中所示的额外元件。图25是一方块图,其图解说明如何在本发明中使用若干个用户与根据第6,671,757号、第6,694,336号或第6,757,696号专利构建的同步服务器2550之间的整合。一高级ID管理服务器2510可包括一服务器160或者服务器160中各元件的一子集,但包括至少一管理应用程序170及一接至一包含订户记录2522的角色数据库2520的用户信息存储器2520。同步服务器2550设置有一订户100-1的若干个朋友的同步帐户记录2524、2528、2530。同步服务器2550使在第6,671,757号、第6,694,336号或第6,757,696号专利中所揭示的同步机构与朋友用户100-3、100-4及100-5进行通信。在第6,671,757号、第6,694,336号或第6,757,696号专利中所揭示的事务数据包并非通过下载及加载数据来直接传送改动,而是通过向客户端100-3-100-5分发改动的日志来传送角色信息。用户如上文所述通过电话界面或网络介面与系统服务器2510进行通信。
图26是一方块图,其绘示一种用于实施本发明的同步服务器系统、高级ID服务器及客户端系统的一更详细的替代配置的方块图。在图2中,将所述服务器系统绘示为一与一客户端(例如电话100)进行通信的独立的装置。在图26中,将一电话100-6绘示为包括一应用程序客户端140以及同步客户端2610,例如参照第6,671,757号美国专利所述者。一高级ID系统服务器2640包括一具有用户内容记录2646的数据库510,其包括如前面所述为订户存储的角色。服务器2640还包括一用于提供在前面图式中所揭示的基于网络的界面屏幕的网络浏览器2660。一客户端收听器引擎2650与客户端应用程序2675进行通信,以使用户能够将改动直接输入至系统2640的服务器侧。一改动日志适配器引擎2640能实现改动向及从同步服务器2650的传送。还提供一同步服务器2620。同步服务器通过一SyncMO服务器2626与同步客户端2610进行通信并通过一数据协议适配器2628与高级ID服务器2640进行通信。一如在第6,671,757号专利中所述的管理服务器2622与一同步引擎2624进行通信,以控制存储于数据存储器2632中的同步数据包。所述系统允许将用户的信息存储于任意数量的多个装置中,并允许在同步服务器中具有帐户的用户将其信息并入订户的高级ID系统中。具有本发明高级ID服务的每一用户帐户均要求创建所述用户的对应的同步帐户。同步帐户用于使用户的内容在装置与系统服务器2640之间同步。系统服务器2640修改用户的角色及信息中的适当联络人。
个人记录可通过一专门添加的联络人记录字段表示于同步系统的内容记录中。当一描述角色的改动日志到达收听器引擎2640时,高级ID引擎2642收集受影响的朋友,找到对应的同步服务器记录,并将包含新角色信息的联络人已修改事务改动日志提供回至同步服务器。同步服务器将根据第6,671,757号、第6,694,336号或第6,757,696号专利的说明的这些已修改事务添加至直接链接的朋友的同步帐户中。在这些朋友进行下一次同步时,每一方均检索代表所述用户已将其分配到的角色的已更新联络人记录。一旦同步服务器2650联络系统服务器2640,系统服务器就会通过向联络人记录中添加一个字段来跟踪一既定朋友被分配到哪一角色。装置100-6包含一使用由同步服务器2650所提供的改动日志来与装置的地址簿同步的装置同步客户端2610。本机数据库150与应用程序ID数据库2602两者均可用于为根据本发明的高级ID系统存储记录。
图27绘示一包含若干个子系统的客户端侧应用程序。一客户端2700包括用户界面2710、一SMS收听器2712、集成的呼叫管理2714、一实体管理器2716、一应用程序数据库2718、一同步层2720、(如果与第6,671,757号专利中的技术一起使用)、一设定值管理器2722、及一应用程序设定值数据存储器2724。客户端2700包括一用户界面,其显示如前面所述的本发明的界面屏幕。在各种配置中,电话的本机地址簿150的某些部分及一应用程序专用的辅助数据存储器2718存储所述装置上的高级ID信息。如上文所述,当一订户联络电话100-6时,应用程序2700接受入站呼叫且视所支持装置的稳健性而定,并显示一定制的用户界面,包括例如覆盖有元数据或视频剪辑的全屏图像。集成呼叫管理2714使用户具有免除呼叫的众多种选项,例如应答、将其发送至语音邮件、或者阻止所述呼叫自动地在地址簿中殖入呼叫方的公共信息。实体管理器如下文所述将角色及朋友信息保持于客户端自身上。同步层2720支持与一例如在第6,671,757号美国专利中所述的同步服务器的同步。设定值管理器2722保持关于所述应用程序的用户偏好(例如应用程序缺省值及当用户可能不想受到打扰时),这些用户偏好存储于应用程序设定值存储器2724中。
图28是在客户端数据库2718中单独使用或者与一本机数据库150结合使用的基本客户端对象的静态图解说明。如在图28中所示,对于用户的内容信息的每一实例2810而言,所述实例均可包括电子邮件信息2812、电话号码信息2814、地址信息2816及其他内容信息2822(例如本地ID 2822及全局ID)。每一联络人实例2810均与一角色2820相关联且每一角色均由一与用户相关联的识别符来识别。朋友记录2830包括一朋友识别符、一所分配的角色、朋友为何种类型(链接类型)及一指示上次更新朋友信息的时间的字段。同样地,电子邮件信息包括电子邮件类型列举2824,电话号码信息2814包括电话号码列举2826,地址信息2816包括地址列举2832(工作地址或家庭地址),且内容信息2822包括数字内容-无论其是免费信息还是特许信息2834。
图29是图27中所示实体管理器2716的图示。角色及朋友统称为实体且由实体管理器2900来操纵。如上文所述,很少有可用装置能支持实施本发明系统所需的足够稳健的地址簿数据。为支持该系统所需的新数据类型,可能需要使用图27中所示的扩展数据库2718。实体管理器2900控制这两个数据存储器的使用。由于所讨论的特定平台的特征,实体管理器2900将来自系统地址簿及其他数据库的朋友及角色异议串行化。实体管理器2900将串行化代码聚集于一中心位置并允许将数据集合扩展成包括其他字段。实体管理器2900管理器分别创建一串行化的朋友及角色记录2830,2820,并使用系统地址簿、用户界面2710及由用户随后在2912中创建的商业逻辑。
图30、31、32、33及34显示图27中所示客户端的替代配置。在图30中显示一最佳配置3002,其中提供一稳健的本机地址簿3010、一稳健的SyncML客户端3020、及一稳健的同步服务器3030。在此种配置中,除了管理呈现用户界面的多媒体内容之外,可能存在极少要客户端应用程序3002做的事情。对角色信息的大多数管理及推入是在服务器3030上进行。
由于大多数现有的客户端不包括稳健的本机地址簿及SyncML客户端,因而图21提供一种允许一客户端3102与一高级ID服务器160进行通信的替代配置。如在图31中所示,服务器160通过一共享通信协议与客户端3102进行通信。客户端3102包括一为一地址簿代理器3120的协议引擎3110并利用有限的本机地址簿150与支持数据库2718二者。一地址簿代理器3120(例如实体管理器2900或者某种其他形式的代理器机制)管理各个存储器2718与150之间的通信与信息存储。
在图32中显示再一种替代配置。在图32中,一稳健的SyncML服务器与一稳健的SyncML客户端3020进行通信,但利用一地址簿代理器3120在数据库2718与地址簿150之间划分信息。
在图33中,一有限的SyncML服务器提供对角色所需的某些同步信息、但并非所需的所有必要信息的支持。同样地,电话的syncML可仅支持有限的同步或字段支持。例如,服务器160可支持地址及电话号码同步但不支持下载电影及铃声。在该实施例中,服务器3310与系统服务器160协作来通过一有限的SyncML客户端3130传送某些信息,而其他信息则直接传送至电话的代理器3312中。多媒体信息可通过所述支持应用程序3310及3130来提供,而更基本的信息则提供至代理器3312。一地址簿代理器3120用于在数据库2718与地址簿150之间划分信息。
在图34中,所述客户端等价于图33,只是信息存储于一稳健的本机地址簿3402中。
图35显示一媒体管理器3505及与一条媒体信息相关联的记录。所述系统支持数字版权媒体管理。MediaManger(媒体管理器)对象为其他客户端组件提供一允许进行媒体加载、媒体下载及检索媒体信息的界面。由于每一装置均具有不同的能力,因而为在不同的装置上支持媒体对象,常常需要将媒体对象从其原始格式进行变码。变码是指一种用以使一种类型装置或电话上一种格式的媒体可供用于其他类型电话的过程。例如,如果一第一用户的电话创建JPG格式的照片,但一接收用户的电话仅支持GIF,则系统服务器可根据服务器对接收用户的电话的了解而自动地转换所述图像的格式。在已知目标装置显示器的特性的情况下,可使用该同一过程来改变图像的分辨率以正确地适合于所述目标装置的显示器。
变码可涉及到实际转换或者可涉及到仅选择一种其已经知道的替代版本。例如,一增值服务提供商可支持两种或更多种格式的铃声,且可选择适当的格式并将其分发给接收用户。当请求媒体需要媒体对象时,将由服务器执行变码;经过变码的媒体将自动传输至所述装置。客户端可使用一种在通信协议中提供的功能来询问与其将要下载的媒体有关的信息。该功能将返送回关于可供客户端使用的经变码媒体的有关信息。服务器还可为需要使用同一媒体(例如图像)的不同大小(例如地址簿中联络人的缩略图及一全屏照片)的多种格式的客户端提供按需求变码的支持。
图35显示在客户端应用程序及本发明中所用的数字版权媒体记录格式。媒体管理器3505判定所述装置中所用任何媒体中是否有信息,无论是jpeg、mp3电影还是类似格式。此种判定首先判定所述媒体是一在本地构建的媒体还是来自一增值提供商的媒体。媒体管理器保持对媒体位置的记录,无论其是可下载的还是可加载的等等。
所述系统支持包含于本机应用程序中的数字版权管理,从而使增值提供商能够检查加载或下载至或自服务器或客户端装置的任何媒体,以判定其中所包含的信息是否应受到数字化管理。媒体记录3510包含媒体记录类型(是否为本地的)及识别符、大小、散列值、公式识别符、及位置。媒体格式3512可为一图像格式3514、一铃声格式3516、一视频格式3518中的任一者。如在3520处所示,图像格式类型包括jpeg、png及gif。铃声格式可为midi类型或者mp3 wav或者一种专门的awp格式。视频格式可为mpeg、wmp文件、quicktime、或者avi。不需要对系统作出重大修改便可容易地添加其他图像、铃声及视频剪辑格式。
出于例示及说明目的,上文已提供了对本发明的详细说明。本文并不打算作为穷尽性说明或将本发明限定于所揭示的确切形式。根据上文的教示内容可作出许多种修改及改变。所述实施例的选择旨在最佳地解释本发明的原理及其实际应用,以使所属领域中的其他技术人员能够以适合于所构想的具体应用的各种实施例形式及使用各种修改来最佳地利用本发明。本发明的范畴打算由随附权利要求书来界定。
