Description

  The present invention relates to a presence information generating apparatus that automatically generates user presence information on a communication system.

  Conventionally, in order to improve the convenience of communication between users on a communication system via a network such as a LAN or the Internet, presence information indicating presence / absence of each user, busyness, presence / absence of communication intention, etc. A mechanism for generating and notifying other users of the generated presence information is known. In addition, a presence service using a communication control protocol such as SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) has already been realized.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a mechanism of a conventional presence service. As shown in FIG. 6, a presence server 91 is provided on the communication system. A plurality of users communicate with each other via this communication system. In FIG. 6, one of these users is referred to as “presentity”. A communication terminal 92 is used by the presentity. A presentity is a coined word created by combining presence and entity, but means a user (or group) that sends presence information, and is commonly used in the field of presence services. . On the other hand, a user who receives presence information is referred to as a “watcher”. 93a and 93b are communication terminals used by the watchers A and B, respectively. In FIG. 6, one presentity and two watchers are shown for easy understanding, but each user can be a presenter and at the same time a watcher.

  In the presence service system, the presentity registers in the presence server 91 a list of watchers (watcher list 94) that allows notification of presence information. On the other hand, the watcher sends to the presence server 91 a request (herein referred to as “subscription request”) to receive presence information of a specific presentity. When receiving the subscription request, the presence server 91 registers the watcher in the watcher list 94 of the specific presentity. The presence server 91 returns approval for the subscription request. When there are a plurality of watchers, each watcher makes a subscription request and approval with the presentity according to the procedure described above. The presentity registers in the presence server 91 detailed conditions (referred to as “policy”) such as to which watcher how much presence information is notified. When the presence server 91 receives the subscription request, the presence server 91 compares the information about the watcher that transmitted the subscription request with the policy, and determines whether the presence information is notified to the watcher and the range of the information to be notified. If it is determined that notification is possible, the watcher can be registered in the watcher list 94.

  When the presentity manually changes his / her presence information at the communication terminal 92 (in the example of FIG. 6, “present seat” is changed to “seated”), the presence information is transferred from the communication terminal 92 to the presence server 91. A change notification is sent. The presence server 91 can access the presence information database 95 that stores the presence information received from the presentity. Each time the change notification is received from the communication terminal 92 of the presentity, the updated presence information is stored in the presence information database 95. sign up. Further, the presence server 91 notifies the updated presence information to the communication terminals 93a and 93b of the watcher registered in the watcher list 94.

  Through the processing described above, presence information of a presentity can be notified to a watcher registered and approved in advance.

Regarding the notification of presence information to the presence server, Patent Literature 1 discloses a session control apparatus that automatically notifies the presence server when presence information is changed. Also, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 disclose terminals that automatically update presence information in accordance with changes in surrounding conditions in order to save the presentity from changing the presence information.

  However, none of the systems disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 detect the busyness of the presentity. In order for the presence service to spread more widely, it is desired to detect the busyness of a presentity and automatically notify the watcher of presence information representing the busyness.

  In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a presence information generation device capable of automatically detecting presence information reflecting the busyness of a presentity from the operating status of an information communication terminal used by the presentity. The purpose is to do.

  In order to achieve the above object, a presence information generating apparatus according to the present invention is a presence information generating apparatus that generates presence information related to a user of an information communication terminal on a communication system. And based on the index value calculated by the operating information totaling unit, the operating information totaling unit that calculates the index value representing the operating status of the application program on the information communication terminal based on the collected operating information A presence information generation unit that generates presence information.

  According to the disclosed configuration, it is possible to provide a presence information generation device capable of automatically detecting presence information reflecting the busyness of the presentity from the operating status of the information communication terminal used by the presentity. it can.

Note that a presence information generation system, a presence information generation method, and a program having substantially the same technical idea are also embodiments of the present invention.

  According to the above configuration, operating information related to the operating status of the information communication terminal is collected, an index value representing the operating status of the application program is calculated based on the operating information, and presence information is generated based on the index value. Is done. Therefore, presence information reflecting the busyness of the presentity can be automatically detected from the operating status of the information communication terminal used by the presentity.

  In the presence information generation apparatus, it is preferable that the operation information aggregation unit includes an operation information collection unit that collects a plurality of types of operation information, and calculates the index value based on the plurality of types of operation information. By calculating an index value from a plurality of types of operation information, it is possible to generate presence information that reflects the busyness of the presentity more objectively and accurately.

According to this configuration, it is possible to generate presence information that reflects the busyness of the presentity more objectively and accurately by calculating the index value from the operating status of a plurality of types of application programs.

  The operation information in the presence information generation apparatus preferably includes at least one of an operation status of the input / output device, a processor load, an external communication data amount, and an operating system load. .

  Hereinafter, a more specific embodiment of the presence information generating apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the presence information generating apparatus according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the presence information generation device 10 of the present embodiment is functionally realized on a presentity communication terminal 100. That is, in the communication terminal 100, the presence information generation device 10 does not necessarily exist as independent hardware. For example, the function of the presence information generation apparatus 10 is realized by the CPU of the communication terminal 100 executing a predetermined program. Note that the communication terminal 100 is, for example, a personal computer, a mobile phone, or a portable information terminal.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the presence information generating apparatus 10 includes an operation information totaling unit 11, a presence information generating unit 12, and a presence list 13.

The operation information totaling unit 11 collects the operation information from input devices such as the keyboard 14 and the mouse 15 of the communication terminal 100, the operating system (OS) 16, and the like. The operation information totaling unit 11 further detects the operation status for each application program based on the collected operation information. Therefore, operation information compiling unit 11, the first operation information collecting section 111a _1, second operation information collecting section 111a _2, and a second n operation information collecting section 111a _n · · ·. The value of n is 3 in the present embodiment, but is arbitrary depending on the type of operation information to be collected.

In this embodiment, the operation information totaling unit 11 includes a first operation information collecting unit 111a ₁ that collects operation information (for example, the number of keystrokes per minute and the number of mouse operations) of the keyboard 14 and the mouse 15 that are input devices. The second operation information collection unit 111a ₂ that collects the CPU usage rate from the OS 16 and the third operation information collection unit 111a ₃ that collects the amount of packets transmitted and received by the communication control unit 17 are provided. The number of mouse operations is the total number of times the user has performed various operations such as point, click, drag, or scroll using the mouse 15, but any operation can be arbitrarily counted. It is possible to set.

In the present embodiment, the first operation information collection unit 111a ₁ collects the sum of the number of keystrokes on the keyboard 14 and the number of operations of the mouse 15 as operation information. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the number of keystrokes of the keyboard 14 and the number of operations of the mouse 15 may be collected as separate operation information. Further, in the example of FIG. 1, the packet amount is detected from the communication control unit 17 as a kind of operation information, but the packet amount can also be collected from the OS 16.

The first operation information collecting section 111a ₁ ~ third operation information collecting section 111a ₃ collects the operation information for each application program. For example, even if a plurality of application programs are operating in the communication terminal 100, the first operation information collection unit 111a ₁ performs keyboard input (or mouse operation) for which application program based on the process name. It is possible to detect the number of keystrokes and the number of mouse operations for each application program. Similarly, the second operation information (CPU usage rate) and the third operation information (packet amount) can be detected for each application program based on the process name.

Availability integration processing unit 111b, based on the first operation information collecting section 111a ₁ ~ collected operation information at the n-th operation information collecting section 111a _n, referring to the operation information management table 112, an application on the communication terminal 100 An index value representing the operating status of the program is calculated. In the present embodiment, first, a first index value representing “busyness” for each application program is calculated. Further, a second index value that comprehensively represents the busyness of the user is calculated based on the busyness of the plurality of application programs. In the operation information management table 112, information necessary for calculating each index value from the operation information is registered in advance. The contents of the operation information management table 112 and the index value calculation method will be described in detail later.

  The presence information generation unit 12 refers to the presence list 13 and generates presence information corresponding to the index value (the second index value) calculated by the operating status integration processing unit 111b. The presence list 13 defines associations between index values and presence information. The contents of the presence list 13 and the process of generating presence information from the index value will be described in detail later.

  The communication control unit 17 controls communication with a presence server (not shown) via a network (not shown). The presence request generator 18 generates a request for transmitting the presence information generated by the presence information generator 12 to the presence server.

  Here, a procedure of presence information generation processing in the presence information generation apparatus 10 will be described below.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the contents of the operation information management table 112. Note that FIG. 2 conceptually shows the contents of the operation information management table 112, and the actual recording format may not be this.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the operation information management table 112 includes a presence notification interval, an information collection interval, and first operation information to n-th operation information for each application program (AP) executable in the communication terminal 100. Weights and thresholds, AP-specific information, weights for each application, and the like are defined. In FIG. 2, three types of application programs such as a word processor, a spreadsheet, and a chat are illustrated. However, application programs that should be the basis for presence information generation are not limited to these. In addition, any application program such as a mailer (mail processing program), a program development support tool, a presentation support tool, a web browser, a program failure analysis tool, etc. (these are merely examples) is defined in the operation information management table 112. Is possible.

  The “presence notification interval” is a time interval at which the presence information generation apparatus 10 generates presence information and notifies the presence server. The “information collection interval” is a time interval of operation information collection timing in the operation information totaling unit 11. In the example of FIG. 2, “1 minute” is uniformly defined for all application programs, but the information collection interval may be varied for each application program.

In the present embodiment, as described above, as the operation information, the first operation information (keyboard and mouse operation information) collected by the first operation information collection unit 111a ₁ to the third operation information collection unit 111a ₃ , 2 operation information (CPU usage rate) and 3rd operation information (packet amount) are used. As shown in FIG. 2, in the operation information management table 112, the weight and threshold value of the operation information are defined for each of the first to third operation information for each application program.

  In the operation information management table 112, if the threshold value and the weight are set according to the characteristics of the application program, it is possible to detect the state of the user relatively accurately.

  For example, in the case of a word processor application program, when a keyboard or mouse is frequently used, it is highly likely that the user is busy creating a document and is busy. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 2, when the first operation information (keyboard and mouse operation information) exceeds a threshold value (the average number of keystrokes and operations is 50 times / minute), the busyness of the word processor is 50%. It is defined to add the weight of. Also, if document creation is concentrated using a word processor, the CPU usage rate is also improved, so in the example of FIG. 2, 50% weight is also assigned to the second operation information.

  Further, for example, in the case of chat, when the packet is frequently transmitted on the TCP port 6667 (official channel list), the user is frequently in conversation with other users about the business and is busy. There is a high possibility. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 2, when the third operation information (packet communication amount at the TCP port 6667) exceeds a threshold (100 bytes per minute), it is defined that a 50% weight is added to the busyness of the chat. doing. Here, the TCP port 6667 is designated in order to exclude the influence of the private chat using the chat of another channel. Further, since it is assumed that a keyboard or a mouse is used in the chat, 40% weight is also assigned to the first operation information. Furthermore, since the CPU usage rate is improved if the user frequently talks with other users in the chat, the second operation information is also assigned a weight of 10%.

  As can be seen from FIG. 2, the definition of the threshold value and the weight varies depending on the type of application program even for the same operation information. In other words, when a user is working intensively using an application program, which operating information represents the state prominently differs for each application program. Therefore, for each application program, it is preferable to appropriately set the threshold value and weight of each piece of operation information according to the characteristics of the application program.

  In FIG. 2, for the word processor and the spreadsheet, the weight of the third operation information is defined as 0%. This means that it is not necessary to collect the third operation information (packet amount) for these application programs.

  The operation status integration processing unit 111b compares each of the first operation information to the third operation information with a threshold defined in the operation information management table 112 for each application program. Then, when each piece of operating information exceeds the threshold, the busyness (the first index value) of the application program is calculated by adding the weight defined for the operating information.

  The presence information generation unit 12 sends the generated presence information to the presence request generation unit 18. The presence request generation unit 18 generates a command (presence request) for notifying presence information to the presence server. The generated presence request is transmitted from the communication control unit 17 to the presence server.

  With the above configuration, the presence information generation apparatus 10 of the communication terminal 100 can automatically generate presence information according to the status of the application program and notify the presence server.

  Here, procedures of presence information generation processing and notification processing in the communication terminal 100 will be described with reference to flowcharts.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the overall flow of presence information generation processing and notification processing in communication terminal 100. This process is started when the user starts any application program in the communication terminal 100.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the user activates the application program, the operation information totaling unit 11 refers to the operation information management table 112, and determines the presence notification interval defined for the activated application program and the operation to be collected. Information is specified (step S11).

  Next, the operation information totaling unit 11 starts collecting the operation information specified in step S11 (step S12), executes presence information generation processing, and notifies the presence server of the obtained presence information (step S13). ). Details of the processing in step S13 are shown in FIG. Then, the process in step S13 is repeated for each presence notification interval specified in step S11.

  Next, details of the processing in step S13 in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, when the presence information generation is activated, the operation information totaling unit 11 first obtains information (process name) of the currently operating application program from the OS 16 (step S131). Next, the operation information collection unit 11 calculates the busyness (first index value) of each active application program (steps S132a to S132c). Details of steps S132a to S132c are shown in FIG. When the busyness of each program is calculated, the busyness (second index value) of the user of the communication terminal 100 is obtained by integrating the busyness of the active application program in the operation status integration processing unit 111b. Calculate (step S133). Then, presence information is generated from the calculated busyness of the user, and the generated presence information is notified to the presence server (step S134).

  Next, the details of the processing in steps S132a to S132c in FIG. 4 will be described with reference to FIG. Steps S132a to S132c differ only in the application program to be processed, and the basic processing contents are the same.

  As illustrated in FIG. 5, the operation information totaling unit 11 first specifies an application program to be processed later from the information (process name) of the application program in operation acquired in step S131 (step S1321). .

  Next, the operation information totaling unit 11 acquires, from the operation information management table 112, operation information to be collected regarding the application program, a collection interval thereof, a threshold value and a weight for the collected operation information (step S1322).

Then, based on the acquired information in step S1322, the first operation information collecting section 111a ₁ ~ third operation information collecting section 111a ₃ of the operation information totalization section 11, to collect operation information (step S1323a～S1323c) . Steps S1323a to S1323c differ only in the type of operation information to be processed, and the basic processing contents are the same.

In step S1323a～S1323c, each of the first operation information collecting section 111a ₁ ~ third operation information collecting section 111a ₃ is, in accordance with the collection interval acquired from the operation information management table 112, to collect the operation information. For example, in the example of FIG. 2, each of the first operation information collection unit 111a ₁ to the third operation information collection unit 111a ₃ collects each of the first operation information to the third operation information at an interval of 1 minute.

  The operating status integration processing unit 111b takes the average value every 5 minutes, which is the presence notification interval, and compares the obtained average value with a threshold value. When the threshold is exceeded, the busyness for each application program is calculated by adding the weight defined in the operation information management table 112 to the busyness of the application program (step S1324).

  For example, for the word processor, when the first operation information has an average value per minute larger than the threshold (50), a 50% weight is added to the application program of this word processor. Further, when the second operation information for the word processor application program is larger than the threshold value of 5% in the average value per minute in the presence notification interval of 5 minutes, A 50% weight is added. That is, when both the first operation information and the second operation information exceed the threshold, the busy degree of the word processor application program is 100%.

  Further, for example, a chat program is running simultaneously with the word processor, the first operation information for chat is larger than a threshold of 30, the second operation information is smaller than 2% of the threshold, and the third operation information is It is assumed that it is larger than the threshold value of 1000 bytes. In this case, since the first operation information and the third operation information exceed the threshold, 40% and 50% which are weights defined in these operation information are added together. As a result, the busyness of the chat application program is 90%.

  As described above, the busyness level of each application program calculated by the operation status integration processing unit 111b is temporarily stored in a memory (not shown) (step S1325).

  Here, referring to FIG. 4 again, the processing of steps S133 and S134 of FIG. 4 will be described in more detail with specific examples.

  As described above, when the busyness is obtained for each application program through steps S132a to S132c (see FIG. 5), the operation status integration processing unit 111b uses the application defined in the operation information management table 112 at this busyness. By multiplying and adding the weight for each program, the user's busyness (the second index value) is calculated (step S133). The weight value for each application program is also set as appropriate in the operation information management table 112 in accordance with the characteristics of each application program.

  Here, for example, it is assumed that the busyness of the word processor application program is x%, the busyness of the spreadsheet application program is y%, and the busyness of the chat application program is z%. In the example shown in FIG. 2, since the weights of the three types of application programs are defined as 30%, 20%, and 50%, respectively, x × 0.3 + y × 0.2 + z × 0.5 is calculated. Thus, the busyness of the user is calculated. For example, if the busyness of each application is x = 100%, y = 0%, and z = 90%, the busyness of the user is calculated as 75%.

  As described above, when the busy degree of the user is calculated by the operation information totaling unit 11, the presence information generating unit 12 refers to the presence list 13 and converts the busy degree of the user into presence information (step S134). In other words, the presence list 13 stores the definition definition of presence information commonly used by the user in the communication network to which the communication terminal 100 is connected, in association with the busyness of the user. For example, if the user's busyness is less than 30%, it is “free”, if it is 30% or more and less than 50%, “reserved”, if it is 50% or more and less than 80%, “busy”, if it is 80% or more. It can be considered “very busy”. Accordingly, if the busyness of the user calculated by the operation information totaling unit 11 is, for example, 75% as described above, presence information corresponding to the expression definition “busy” is generated by the presence information generating unit 12. .

  The presence information generated in this way is passed to the presence request generation unit 18, a request for transmission to the presence server is generated, and is notified to the presence server via the communication control unit 17. Thereby, in the presence server, the presence information of the user of the communication terminal 100 is automatically updated to the latest state at intervals of 5 minutes. Therefore, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, since the presence information is automatically updated based on the operation information of the application program of the communication terminal 100, it is possible to save the user from having to update the presence information by himself / herself. .

  The above-described embodiment does not limit the present invention, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention.

  For example, the operation information management table shown in FIG. 2 is merely an example, and various other application programs can be considered as the basis for detecting the busyness of the user. Further, the operation information to be collected is not limited to the specific example shown in FIG. The following is only a specific example, but the following is also assumed as a combination of the application program and the operation information that is considered effective for detecting the busyness of the user.

  Generally, when there is an input device operation or CPU usage within a certain period in a relatively short period of time for an application program, it is considered that the user concentrates on business using the application program. Such a tendency is seen in application programs such as mailers (mail processing programs), word processors, spreadsheets, chats, presentation support tools, web browsers, program failure analysis tools, integrated development environments, etc. It is preferable to collect input device operation and CPU usage rate as operation information. In application programs such as a program failure analysis tool and an integrated development environment, it is particularly preferable to collect both input device operation and CPU usage rate as operation information. This is because during the program failure analysis process and the compile process, the CPU usage rate is improved even if the user is not working, and therefore it is difficult to detect whether the user is busy based on the CPU usage rate alone.

  In addition, for example, in a mailer (mail processing program), if mail transmission addressed to a pre-registered domain can be detected within a certain time from network capture, the user is considered to be busy. Therefore, in that case, it is preferable to collect the frequency (presence / absence) of mail transmission addressed to the domain as operation information.

  Furthermore, for example, when the transmission / reception state of an RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) packet of a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) session established using the TCP / UDP port 5060 is captured, the user speaks using an IP phone. It is considered to be inside. Therefore, in that case, the busyness of the application program may be defined as 100%.

  It is also preferable to detect the OS page swap frequency as operation information. This is because if the page swap occurs frequently, it is considered that the user frequently operates the program.

  Further, in addition to the presence information generating apparatus 10 automatically generating presence information as described above, the operation information management table 112 may be customized according to the presence information setting by the user. For example, a GUI window in which the user can set presence information (“free”, “reserved”, “busy”, “very busy”, etc.) is always displayed on the screen of the communication terminal 100. Then, the presence information automatically generated by the presence information generation device 10 is also displayed on the GUI window. When the user looks at the displayed presence information and deviates from the busyness he / she feels, the user selects presence information he / she thinks appropriate from the GUI window. Further, when the user selects the presence information in this way, the operation information totaling unit 11 captures the first operation information to the third operation information at that time and stores the captured information in the operation information management table 112. . Then, when the operation status integration processing unit 111b detects the busyness of the application program from the collected operation information, presence information can be generated in accordance with the user's sense by referring to the above-described capture information. Become.

  It is also possible to store a history of presence information and generate presence information by referring to the history. For example, at a predetermined time interval (for example, every 5 to 10 minutes), the presence information (“free”, “reserved”, “busy”, “very busy”, etc.) of the user is flagged and stored. If the frequency of a specific flag is high in a specific time zone, it can be estimated that the time zone will be busy with regular work, for example. Therefore, if the presence information is analogized based on the accumulation of presence information and the presence information is generated using the analogy result, the presence information reflecting the busyness of the user can be generated more accurately. Is possible.
