9 Administration

22.1413GPPPresence serviceStage 1TS

The following administration requirements shall be supported.

Note: The different logical steps (provision, registration, activation) might be combined. For example when a principal requests a watcher-subscription, a watcher associated with him is automatically registered in the Presence Service.

9.1 Provision

Provision is an action taken by the service provider to make the presence service available to a principal. Provision may be:

– General: where the service may be made available to all principals without prior arrangements being made with the service provider.

– Pre‑arranged: where the service is made available to an individual principalonly after the necessary arrangements such as login name, password have been made with the service provider.

This provision action shall allow the principals to subsequently register within the Presence Service as a presentity, as a watcher or as both.

9.2 Withdrawal

Withdrawal is an action taken by the service provider to withdraw the presence service from the principal. Withdrawal may be:

– General: where the presence service is removed from all principals

– Specific: where the presence service is removed per principal.

9.3 Registration

Registration is an action taken by the service provider or the principal to provide information necessary for presentities and/or watchers to use the Presence Service. For example, a subscriber could request the creation of a presentity associated with him and provide the corresponding access rules.

It shall be possible to take this registration action under the condition that the presence service is available for the principal. (i.e. the provision has been performed previously).

This registration process may be performed at any time by the principal or service provider to create new presentities/watchers.

The service provider may provide privacy control at registration time on behalf of a presentity.

9.4 Erasure

Erasure is an action taken at any time by the service provider or the principal in order to cancel a registration.

9.5 Activation

Activation is an action taken at any time by the service provider, the presentity or the watcher to bring the Presence Service into the active state.

It shall be possible to activate the service once the presentity or watcher has been registered.

Once the presentity or watcher is in an active state,

– This presentity or watcher may invoke Presence Service features

– Other presentities or watchers may invoke Presence Service features concerning this presentity or watcher (e.g. by subscribing to its presence information)

– The Presence Service may invoke Presence Service features concerning this presentity or watcher (e.g. by notifying changes in the presence information)

9.6 Deactivation

Deactivation is an action taken at any time by the service provider, the presentity or the watcher to bring the Presence Service into the non-active state.

9.7 Invocation

Invocation is an action taken at any time by the presentity or watcher (e.g. by requesting presence information) or by the Presence Service as a result of a particular condition (e.g. by notifying presence information’s changes) in order to invoke the Presence Service features.

Annex A (informative):
Example presence service use cases

Immediate Messaging Use Case

– Premise:

User is in-and-out of coverage

Others wish to send a message and get a response – now

– Considerations

User’s Presence provides info regarding availability (Yields measure of Probability of message delivery)

– Presence capability can be separated from IM

Functional Separation

– Sequence

User is out and about (having meetings or just travelling)

Availability status gets updated as needed (User control – change to ‘unavailable – in meeting’, Network control – out-of-coverage / busy-in-call)

– Co-worker wants to send you a note

Check of Presence Info lets others see if user is available (If available – provides addressing info (e.g. IM server / account ids))

– IM Server handles message deliveries

Status updates available at any time

Location Info in Presence Use Case

– Premise:

User is travelling per a schedule

Others looking to find out when user will arrive

Alternative model is to know where to go to meet user

– Considerations

User’s Presence Info could have activity indicator (e.g. ‘in a meeting’ or ‘driving’)

– System may have access to location information on user

Issue would be the granularity/resolution

– System may have access to user’s ‘calendar’

Would make a plan available

– Security/authentication aspects of disclosures

– Sequence

User is out and about (having meetings or just travelling (Assume that user activity indication available (For example: ‘unavailable – driving’)

System could correlate location information with activity (Answer questions like – is user at planned meeting?, If travelling, could correlate distance with minimum transit time)

System could maintain progress on plan from calendar (System may be able to determine if user is running late or not, User could revise plan or provide annotated information)

Co-worker wants to know if you are available (System provides current activity, possible links to schedule)

– Family wants to know if user is on way home

Activity indication of ‘driving’ may assist in determination

Current location info could help determine how far from home

– Meet-me example

Service may correlate matching info (Example where Activity Indication – ‘Shopping’ & Location – ‘Mall’, Friend with matching codes could be flagged, Could IM to determine which store or to have lunch)

Service could manage meeting maker (May have appointment scheduled with others, Could check status to see if everybody was in right location)

Message Modality Control Use Case

– Premise:

User has different means to communicate (voice, text…)

User may indicate preferences

Voice number is managed by entity monitoring status

– Considerations

Content format adaptation available (e.g. text-to-speech (synthetic voice) or speech-to-text)

User preferences set desired message format (May change the official communication device address)

Related services subscribe to user status (Cell net could be watcher to provide value-add/quick routing)

– Sequence

User is in a meeting (can’t take a phone call)

Status shows ‘busy – in a meeting’ (Presence status listed as ‘unavailable for voice’, Option for speech-to-text delivery provided if available)

If friend can send text – does so (Works as expected)

If friend has a voice device (Calls into user’s number, Switch sees speech delivery disabled – conversion offered, Switch connects caller to speech-to-text converter, Text is sent to user, If caller stays on circuit, could engage in two-way dialog)

– Premise:

User is travelling and changes plane

Others looking to communicate with the user

Service available to ‘take a message’

– Considerations

Service has access to User’s state

Service could be associated with User info (May be dependent on state or watcher identification)

Service may deliver ‘markup’ contact for reply (Ideal is to enable programmable or responsive operations)

Traveler Changing Planes Use Case

– Sequence

User is on a plane

User (more correctly – device) is not connected to any network (Presence status listed as ‘unavailable’, Service (‘take a message’) shown as available)

Friend wants to pass some info and sees ‘unavailable’ status (Uses ‘take a message’ to save a friendly note)

Co-worker needs some specific info (Uses ‘take a message’ to record a ‘get back to me’ note)

– User arrives at airport

User (more correctly – device) is not connected to any network (Presence status listed as ‘unavailable’, Service (‘take a message’) shown as available) ‘Take a Message’ Service gets update and sends a report (Provides an inbox type message)

User may interact to read the messages (stored by service) (Messages could be selectively managed (read/forward/delete))

Addresses in Notes are associated with status information (Effectively invokes a dynamically generated buddy list, May have been entities that were not part of regular buddy list, Very easy to ‘return the call’ with know availability information)

– User gets on next plane

Status changes again – reverts to unavailable handling
