Abstract

This disclosure is directed to generating one or more presence-event notifications at one or more user devices associated with a user, and transmitting those presence-event notifications to one or more presence server(s). At the presence server(s) a stream of presence-event notifications may be filtered according to any number of predefined criteria, and then the presence-event notifications that have filtered through may be applied to presence plug-ins to generate presence information associated with user(s) for whom presence-event notifications were received. The presence-event notifications may be provided as a stream of presence information to one or more consumers of presence information and/or stored in a presence datastore. A consumer of presence information, such as a service provider, may request presence information associated with one or more users. In response, the service provider may be provided with the requested presence information based on whether that service provider has permissions to receive the requested presence information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
receive, from a first user device, first presence-event notification data, the first presence-event notification data indicative of a first interaction between a user and the first user device;
receive, from a second user device, second presence-event notification data, the second presence-event notification data indicative of a second interaction between the user and the second user device;
apply an ingress filter to the first presence-event notification data, the ingress filter to use user-designated parameters to determine presence-event notification data to use to generate presence information;
determine that the first presence-event notification data is to be used to generate presence information;
apply the ingress filter to the second presence-event notification data;
determine that the second presence-event notification data is not to be used to generate presence information;
generate first presence information associated with a user profile of the user by applying the first presence-event notification to a first presence model, the first presence information indicating a first probability of the user being available to a first service provider;
generate second presence information associated with the user profile by applying the first presence-event notification data to a second presence model, the second presence information indicating a second probability of the user being available to a second service provider;
apply an egress filter to the first presence information, the egress filter to identify presence information that is to be stored;
determine that the first presence information is to be stored;
apply the egress filter to the second presence information;
determine that the second presence information is to be stored;
store the first presence information in association with the user profile in a presence datastore;
store the second presence information in association with the user profile in the presence datastore;
generate third presence information, the third presence information including a third probability of the user being available to the first service provider based at least in part on a time decay model;
delete the first presence information from the presence datastore;
store the third presence information at the presence datastore;
receive, from the first service provider, a request for presence information; and
send, to the first service provider, the third presence information.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the user is a first user, and the one or more processors are to:
determine that the first presence-event notification data is associated with an identification of the first user device;
access a user profile datastore that associates user devices with user profiles; and
determine, using the user profile datastore, that the first presence-event notification is associated with the user profile.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are to:
determine that the third presence information is associated with the user profile;
determine that the second presence information is associated with the user profile;
generate a presence file associated with the first user profile, the presence file including the third presence information and the second presence information, and wherein storing the third presence information comprises storing the presence file in the presence datastore;
receive a request for presence information associated with the user profile; and
send data from the presence file.

4. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, from a first user device, first presence-event notification data that is indicative of an action performed by the first user device;
determining that the first presence-event notification data is associated with a first user profile;
determining that the first presence-event notification data is to be used to generate presence information;
generating, using a first presence model, first presence information based at least in part on the first presence-event notification data, the first presence information indicating a first probability of a first user associated with the first user profile being available;
generating second presence information, the second presence information including a second probability of the first user being available based at least in part on a time decay model and the first presence information;
receiving, from a remote computing system associated with a service provider, a request for presence information associated with the first user; and
sending, to the remote computing system associated with the service provider, the second presence information.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:
receiving second presence-event notification data;
determining that the second presence event notification data is associated with a second user profile; and
applying a first ingress filter to the first presence-event notification data to determine that the first presence-event notification data is to be used to generate presence information, the first ingress filter associated with the first user profile; and
applying a second ingress filter to the second presence-event notification data to determine that the second presence-event notification data is not to be used to generate presence information, the second ingress filter associated with the second user profile.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the first presence-event notification is associated with a first user identification associated with the first user device, and wherein determining that the first presence-event notification data is associated with the first user profile comprises determining that the first user device identification is associated with the first user profile.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:
receiving historical presence-event notification data associated with the first user profile;
generating the first presence model using the historical presence-event notification data; and
storing the first presence model associated with the first user profile, and wherein the generating the first presence information comprises generating the first presence information using the first presence model.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:
receiving feedback event notification data associated with the first user profile;
generating a second presence model based at least in part on the feedback event notification data; and
storing the second presence model associated with the first user profile.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:
storing the second presence information in a presence datastore and associated with the first user profile, the presence datastore storing a plurality of presence information associated with a plurality of users.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , further comprising:
applying an egress filtering rule to the second presence information to determine that the second presence information is to be sent; and
applying the egress filtering rule to third presence information to determine that the third presence information is not to be sent, the third presence information being based at least in part on the first presence-event notification data and indicating a third probability of the first user being available.

11. The computer-implemented method
