- segment 150 may be a text message from a first user employing device 110 whereas segment 160 is from a second user that employs device 120 .
- one device 110 - 130 could generate all the segments 150 - 170 or multiple devices could create segments and are respectively in no particular order (e.g., device 130 could send segment 150 or first message whereas device 110 sends subsequent messages and so forth).
- a selection component 180 is employed to identify a segment 150 - 170 (or a portion of a segment) to be selectively cached by a processor associated with the respective devices 110 - 130 .

- the GPS component 310 can also be employed in conjunction with the policy component described above. For example, a policy could be to always cache message segments when a person is in a given location such as a room in their home.
- Another policy may be to cache segments that are associated with messages that may be received in a particular location such as ads or coupons that may be pushed automatically from a retail outlet for example. Still yet other location policies may determine that when a person is traveling in their car that they would want message exchanges saved. Substantially any type of policy that automatically saves segments or portions thereof can be employed. Yet another policy example includes work situations. Thus, if a user is detected in a particular meeting room, they may want certain message exchanges saved. In a more detailed example, a policy may be configured that when a user is detected in a particular room AND a particular user is exchanging messages with them, that they would want those particular messages automatically captured and saved. Thus, Boolean combinations of policies and/or detected locations, and/or learned policies can be applied to automatically determine real time message data to be stored for a given user.

Abstract
Description
- The subject innovation relates to wireless communications and, more particularly, to store selective portions of a real time messaging thread.
- As is evident in common cell phone experiences, modern communications have moved beyond basic voice capabilities. With the addition of text and picture messaging between peers, along with inclusion of rich media from both traditional and new providers of entertainment and content, mobile systems in particular have become increasingly complex. Although this technology landscape is filled with opportunity, unprecedented interoperability challenges are faced by such systems. When these systems are augmented with presence—the ability to know if and how members of one's community can be reached—and the spontaneity of Instant Messaging, there is an even more exciting dimension added to the dynamics of voice, text, and rich media exchange. Such new technologies are sometimes referred to as next generation messaging.
- In general, next generation messaging includes at least Mobile Instant Messaging (IM), Presence, and Interconnect services. These services are designed to enable service providers to deliver next generation messaging and services to their customers to create highly interactive communities. Such services are offered in conjunction with the world's leading mobile and fixed-line operators, and handset manufacturers. As these companies define and deploy their core services and product lines, an in-depth appreciation of requirements of subscribers is needed. As a result, interoperability services enable a rapidly evolving market, interconnecting operator instant message (IM) networks worldwide for a fast growing customer base of operators whose combined subscriber base is over 200 million. The close cooperation between mobile operators and manufacturers together with a focus on innovation, design and customer needs will facilitate the communications industry's pursuit of true global interconnected IM communities.
- Mobile instant messaging provides a platform for creative, innovative and differentiated next generation services that increase revenues, strengthen customer loyalty and build the operator's brand. The result is the ability to provide a compelling service offering to customers who value staying connected in new, meaningful ways. Presence services enable people within a community to keep connected anytime, any place. When they indicate their availability or see that their contacts are on-line, presence is a catalyst for interactive services for those users who demand an enriched communications environment. These services enable real-time, personalized next generation services, including person-to-person and person-to-computer services such as gaming, conferencing, chat rooms and real-time information services or “info-buddies.” Integrating with fixed and mobile operators' networks or IM service cores, presence services also works from within IM core services to power fixed-mobile convergence and cross-network presence services. Instant message interconnectivity is essential in enabling operators to offer their customers the immediacy of instant messaging to freely communicate across multiple IM communities - mobile and fixed. Next generation messaging services are the driving force behind the interoperability activities worldwide and provides operators with a global neutral IM hub connecting all major IM components.
- Although there is much power and utility provided by the set of services in next generation messaging, other aspects of the services are lacking in some cases. For instance, real time messaging is often conducted in text and in a rapid manner. Sometimes two or more parties are texting and sending other data in real time. In many cases, it might be desirable to recall data from a real time session yet currently, there is not a convenient manner in which to identify let alone save desired real time messaging information.
- The following presents a simplified summary of the innovation in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention. It is intended to neither identify key or critical elements of the invention nor delineate the scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
- Systems and methods are provided to enable selective caching of real time data such as mobile instant messaging data. As communications occur between users and/or between users and machines, data that is present in a conversation or exchanged between devices can be marked in real time. The marked or selected data is then conveniently cached in memory where it can be recalled at a later time. In one example, selective caching of portions of a messaging thread is provided. This allows users to mark a potion (or portions) of a Next Generation Messaging (NGM) messaging thread for persistence in memory. This can facilitate easy access to the marked portions of the threaded message at a later time. One convenient way to mark a conversation for example is to merely use a text symbol (or voice command) to indicate which portion of a real time thread to cache. For example, using an “!” (e.g., exclamation point) symbol to mark the third thread of a message exchange to be cached. It is noted that the entire portion of a thread can be saved and/or portions within a thread can be selected for caching in memory.
- Selective caching can further facilitate persistence of the marked portion where the thread is cleared (e.g., the conversation is still open between participants but the content of the thread is wiped clean) and/or where the thread is deleted (e.g., the conversation is closed with or without clearing the content of the thread). For example, a user can be in a group threaded conversation with another employee and supervisor, where supervisor can send out a contact phone number which the user can mark for storage. This marked content is saved when the user clears the rest of the conversation later that day. The user can access the stored content that evening when sending out an interview invite to another party for example.
- To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, the invention, then, comprises the features hereinafter fully described. The following description and the annexed drawings set forth in detail certain illustrative aspects of the invention. However, these aspects are indicative of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the invention may be employed. Other aspects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the drawings.

FIGS. 5-6 are diagrams illustrating example portions of a message thread that have been selected and cached. -
FIGS. 6-10 illustrate example systems that can be employed with sective caching of real time message exchanges. - Systems and methods are provided to facilitate data exchange in a real time wireless messaging environment. In one aspect, a method is provided to process data in a wireless data exchange. This includes employing a processor to control access to a wireless device. The method also includes exchanging data between two or more wireless devices in real time and opening a thread of communications between the wireless devices, where the thread includes one or more data exchanges between the wireless devices. When the real time messaging exchange has been established, the method identifies all or portions of the thread as potential data to store. As such data is identified, the method selectively caches the identified portions of the thread for future data retrieval.
- As used in this application, the terms “component,” “system,” “platform,” “cache,” “mark,” and the like are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a server and the server can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers. Also, these components can execute from various computer readable media having various data structures stored thereon. The components may communicate via local and/or remote processes such as in accordance with a signal having one or more data packets (e.g., data from one component interacting with another component in a local system, distributed system, and/or across a network such as the Internet with other systems via the signal).
- Referring initially to
FIG. 1 , asystem 100 illustrates a mobile wireless environment where selective portions of real time message or data exchanges are identified and cached for later retrieval. Thesystem 100 includes two or more devices 110-130 that are employed in a real time message exchange in what is typically a wireless transfer of data. The message exchange includes acommunications thread 140 having one or more segments 160-170 of communications. As used herein, the term thread implies an open dialog or electronic window on one or more of the devices 110-130 that shows and exchange of substantially real time data. For example, thecommunications thread 140 might include an instant message exchange between devices 110-130, where each segment 150-170 represents dialog (e.g., text message) or information exchange (e.g., posting of an image or music/video clip) sent from one or more of the devices. For instance,segment 150 may be a text message from a firstuser employing device 110 whereassegment 160 is from a second user that employsdevice 120. As can be appreciated, one device 110-130 could generate all the segments 150-170 or multiple devices could create segments and are respectively in no particular order (e.g.,device 130 could sendsegment 150 or first message whereasdevice 110 sends subsequent messages and so forth). - A
selection component 180 is employed to identify a segment 150-170 (or a portion of a segment) to be selectively cached by a processor associated with the respective devices 110-130. For purposes of brevity, only oneselection component 180 is shown but each of the devices 110-130 can have their own selection component to enable each respective user to cache information as desired. Similarly, apolicy component 190 is shown that can be employed to set up automatic rules for selecting or identifying data to be cached and stored on the devices 110-130. As with theselection component 180, anindividual policy component 190 can be configured for each device 110-130. In general, theselection component 180 can mark or identify any portion of thethread 140 for caching on the devices 110-130. The selection can include indicating an individual segment such as shown at 160 as marking the thread to be stored. The selection can also including marking or identifying within a thread 150-170 such as highlighting a small set of text within a larger body of text in a segment. Also, more than one segment 150-170 can be selected for storage on the device. - It is noted that storage of selected segment or segment portions can occur on the respective devices 110-130 and/or can be stored on servers associated with the devices. This can include temporarily caching information on the device and later downloading to the server for more permanent storage if desired. It is further noted that the
selection component 180 can use substantially any gesture or symbol to identify a segment or portion thereof. This can include using a symbol (e.g., !, @, #, $, *, and so forth). Drag and drop actions by a curser component (not shown) can be employed by theselection component 180 along with biometric commands such as voice commands (e.g., save segment four), touch screen selections (e.g., use finger to drag over desired text or other data for selection), or substantially any type of indication from the user that directs the devices 110-130 on which portion of thecommunications thread 140 is desirable to be saved. While acts such as identifying a thread or portions of a thread can be achieved via a textual or biometric gesture, other features can also be provided. For example, users can “un-cache” messages at any time if desired. Thus, at a high level, users can go to a specific message in a conversation that was previously saved (or select the message through a “saved messages” area), and choose to “un-save or un-cache” the respective message. As can be appreciated, groups of messages can also be selected and removed from the cache or other memory in a similar manner. - In general, the
system 100 enables selective caching of real time data such as mobile instant messaging data. As communications occur between users and/or between users and devices 110-130, data that is present in a conversation or exchanged between devices can be marked in real time. The marked or selected data is then conveniently cached in memory (on the devices and/or remote servers) where it can be recalled at a later time. In one example, selective caching of portions of themessaging thread 140 is provided. This allows users to mark a potion (or portions) of a Next Generation Messaging (NGM) messaging thread for persistence in memory. This can facilitate easy access to the marked portions of the threaded message at a later time. One convenient way to mark a conversation for example is to merely use a text symbol (or voice command) to indicate which portion of a real time thread 150-170 to cache. For example, using a “%” (e.g., percent) symbol to mark thethird thread 170 of a message exchange to be cached. It is noted that the entire portion of a thread 150-170 can be saved and/or portions within a thread can be selected for caching in memory. - Selective caching can further facilitate persistence of the marked portion where the thread is cleared (e.g., the conversation is still open between participants but the content of the thread is wiped clean) and/or where the thread is deleted (e.g., the conversation is closed with or without clearing the content of the thread). For example, a user can be in a group threaded conversation with another employee and supervisor at 140, where supervisor can send out a contact phone number which the user can mark for storage. This marked content is saved when the user clears the rest of the conversation later that day. The user can access the selected content that evening when sending out an interview invite to another party for example. In another aspect, a
system 100 for real time message exchanges is provided. The system includes means for initiating a message dialog (e.g., devices 110-130) and means for conducting a conversation within the message dialog (e.g., communications thread 140). Thesystem 100 also includes means for selecting portions of the conversation in the message dialog (e.g., selection component 180) and means for automatically storing the portions of the conversation (e.g., policy component 190). -
FIG. 2 is asystem 200 that employs automatic selection components based in part on predetermined policy or learning. In this aspect, particular rules or policies can be pre-configured via apolicy component 210 to determine how often or when particular segments 220-240 are automatically cached in athread 250. Thus, anautomatic selection component 260 is provided to cache one or more segments 220-240 (or portions thereof) based upon rules or other considerations stored in thepolicy component 210. One example rule or policy could be to automatically cache all data from a particular user. Another policy could be to store any detected cell phone number that is not already found in a user's address book. Yet another policy could be to cache any detected audio or video file or always cache detected images. Other policies may apply to groups of users. For example, whenever these four individuals text message with me, save all comments fromuser 1 or save all comments from the group and so forth. - In a more elaborate aspect, the
policy component 210 may include intelligent aspects such as classifiers that analyze message data exchanges based on observed or detected patterns of usage. This can include an inference component (not shown) that further enhances automated caching aspects utilizing, in part, inference based schemes to facilitate inferringautomated policies 210. For example, a learning component may detect over time that whenever exchanges are with a particular user or regarding a particular subject, that a user always decides to cache data associated with the respective message exchange. Thus, an automated policy can be setup via the learning to always capture the segment or portion thereof. The classifiers can be implemented via any suitable machine learning based technique or statistical-based techniques or probabilistic-based techniques or fuzzy logic techniques. Specifically, these components can implement models based upon learning processes (e.g., confidence, inference). For example, a parameter adjustment model can be generated via an automatic classifier system. - A support vector machine (SVM) is an example of a classifier that can be employed. Other directed and undirected model classification approaches include, e.g., naïve Bayes, Bayesian networks, decision trees, and probabilistic classification models providing different patterns of independence can be employed. Classification as used herein also is inclusive of statistical regression that is utilized to develop models of usage, access, storage, or denial. Classifiers can be explicitly trained (e.g., via a generic training data) as well as implicitly trained (e.g., via observing user behavior, receiving extrinsic information). For example, SVM's can be configured via a learning or training phase within a classifier constructor. In other words, the use of expert systems, fuzzy logic, support vector machines, greedy search algorithms, rule-based systems, Bayesian models (e.g., Bayesian networks), neural networks, other non-linear training techniques, data fusion, utility-based analytical systems, systems employing Bayesian models, etc. are contemplated and are intended to fall within the scope of the hereto appended claims.
-
FIG. 3 is a system 300 that employs automatic data selection in a message exchange based in part on location. In this aspect, particular rules or policies applied via a global positioning system (GPS) 310 to determine how often or when particular segments 320-340 are automatically cached in athread 350. Thus, anautomatic selection component 360 is provided to cache one or more segments 320-340 (or portions thereof) based upon detected locations of theGPS 310. TheGPS component 310 can also be employed in conjunction with the policy component described above. For example, a policy could be to always cache message segments when a person is in a given location such as a room in their home. Another policy may be to cache segments that are associated with messages that may be received in a particular location such as ads or coupons that may be pushed automatically from a retail outlet for example. Still yet other location policies may determine that when a person is traveling in their car that they would want message exchanges saved. Substantially any type of policy that automatically saves segments or portions thereof can be employed. Yet another policy example includes work situations. Thus, if a user is detected in a particular meeting room, they may want certain message exchanges saved. In a more detailed example, a policy may be configured that when a user is detected in a particular room AND a particular user is exchanging messages with them, that they would want those particular messages automatically captured and saved. Thus, Boolean combinations of policies and/or detected locations, and/or learned policies can be applied to automatically determine real time message data to be stored for a given user. -
FIG. 4 is amethod 400 that utilizes manual or automatic selection to cache portions of a real time message exchange. Proceeding to 410, a communications link is established between devices. This can include real time data exchanges between mobile devices, a mobile device and a desktop device, and between various combinations thereof. In general, a real time dialog or other type thread should be opened between parties in order to exchange data between devices. At 420, a thread is opened that establishes a real time communications session (e.g., instant message session) between the devices. This can include providing an interface for each party to the thread. It is noted, that each device may present a different interface or display in order to exchange data with the respective thread. This may include providing text boxes for typing or speaking instant message data for example. - Proceeding to 430, one or more policies can be set or adjusted to enable the automated caching of data. As previously described, manually created policies or learned policies can be established that automatically cache and store real time message data. Such policies can also be implemented in view of a detected location as previously described. At 440, one or more threads are selected for storage to a cache or other memory component. As noted previously, such selection can be effectuated via message characters and/or via one or more biometric gestures (e.g., voice or touch screen display). Such selection can also include selecting a portion of a particular message segment (e.g., save the selected three words of the previous four sentences from the indicated segment). At 450, after the segment or portion has been selected in 440, the thread or thread portion is cached. This can include caching based upon manual selection of a real time exchange and/or can include automated actions to select and consequently store the respective data. Such data can include text, audio, video, images, files, or substantially any type of data that can be exchanged in substantially real time among users.
-
FIGS. 5-6 are diagrams illustrating example portions of a message thread that have been selected and cached. With respect toFIG. 5 , adisplay 500 indicates that there are a plurality of messages that have been cached and having one or more portions saved from a previous real time message exchange. For example, referring toFIG. 6 , a “*” (star symbol) is employed to enable users to indicate which portion of a real time message thread in which to save. As shown at 610, a saved portion of a dialog correlates to aprevious conversation thread 520 depicted back atFIG. 5 . As can be appreciated, a plurality of manual or automated storage of threads or portions of threads can be captured. As can be appreciated, substantially any type of symbol or other indication can be employed to mark or select a given segment, segments, or portion thereof. -

Additionally, theexample system 700 of a can include a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) or USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module) 706 associated with the system users account subscription. The SIM orUSIM 706 can be prepaid, flat rate monthly, or usage based. Further, the SIM orUSIM 706 may need to be a locked to the specific type of device (e.g., a wireless digital media that employs a WWAN modem) to prevent it from being used in a mobile phone or wireless data device to prevent network abuse if lower rates, including flat rate, are offered to the system subscribers. - A
media receiving component 708 can receive media files, e.g., content(s), sent to theexample system 700 through an access point via themodem 702. Received media files can be displayed through display component 7010. Themodem 702 can include control functions to enable communication with the WWAN and transfer of data in the downlink. Themodem 702 can be downlink enabled and can optionally allow the ability to transfer data in the uplink (UL) direction beyond control channels. For example, thesystem 700 can transfer data associated with available free space in memory 7012 to a mobile network platform in the UL. Further, themodem 702 can be configured to allow network control such that transfer of data (scheduling) could occur at various times of the day based on network/sector loading due to traffic and propagation conditions and/or based on user preferences. Further, themodem 702 can be configured to work on a prepaid condition or active account or unlimited usage account. - The

system 700 can additionally comprisememory 712 that is operatively coupled toprocessor 714 and that can store data to be transmitted, received data, data associated with analyzed signal and/or interference strength, information related to an assigned channel, power, rate, or the like, and any other suitable information for estimating a channel and communicating via the channel.Memory 712 can additionally store media files received from a sender over a network. Further,memory 712 can also store user preferences and/or predefined user settings. In one example,memory 712 can be partitioned, such that locally downloaded media files (e.g. downloaded by an end user) are stored in one partition and remotely downloaded media files (e.g., content(s) are stored in another partition. A number of program modules can be stored in thememory 712, including an operating system, one or more application programs, other program modules and/or program data. It is appreciated that the aspects described herein can be implemented with various commercially available operating systems or combinations of operating systems. - Additionally, a system bus (not shown) can be employed to couple system components including, but not limited to, the
system memory 712 to theprocessor 714. The system bus can be any of several types of bus structure that may further interconnect to a memory bus (with or without a memory controller), a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of commercially available bus architectures. - The media files received from the mobile wireless network can be displayed on the
display screen 716 and/or audio files can be played via thespeaker 718. It can be appreciated that the media files stored in thememory 712 can also be received via ports such as, but not limited to, USB, USB2, 1395, SD card, Compact Flash, etc. Additionally,system 700 can include a power supply/battery 720 that can be employed to power the system. As an example, power management techniques can be employed to save battery power, such that the battery can last longer between recharge cycles. - An end user can enter commands and information through one or more wired/wireless input devices, e.g., a keyboard, a pointing device, such as a mouse and/or a
touch screen display 716. Amicrophone 722 can also be employed to enter data. For example, the end user can employ themicrophone 722 to enter an audio clip associated with an image. These and other input devices are often connected to theprocessor 714 through an input device interface (not shown) that is coupled to a system bus, but can be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, an IEEE 1394 serial port, a game port, a USB port, an IR interface, and so forth - The
system 700 can further include acodec 724 that can be employed encode and/or decode digital data. Thecodec 724 can employ most any compression and/or decompression algorithm to compress/decompress a received media file. Furthermore, thesystem 700 can include a GPS (global positioning system) 726 that can be employed to determine the current geographical coordinates of the example thesystem 700. TheGPS 726 can include a separate GPS antenna (not shown) or employ theantenna 704 to communicate with a GPS satellite. In one example, theexample embodiment system 700 can receive broadcast warnings, emergency alerts, weather alerts, etc. based on the current coordinates. - In addition, the
example embodiment 700 is operable to communicate with any wireless devices or entities operatively disposed in wireless communication, e.g., a printer, scanner, desktop and/or portable computer, portable data assistant, communications satellite, any piece of equipment or location associated with a wirelessly detectable tag, and telephone. This includes at least Wi-Fi and Bluetooth™ wireless technologies. Thus, the communication can be a predefined structure as with a conventional network or simply an ad hoc communication between at least two devices. - Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, allows connection to the Internet from a couch at home, a bed in a hotel room, or a conference room at work, without wires. Wi-Fi is a wireless technology that enables such devices, e.g., computers, to send and receive data indoors and out; anywhere within the range of a base station. Wi-Fi networks use radio technologies called IEEE 802.11 (a, b, g, etc.) to provide secure, reliable, fast wireless connectivity. A Wi-Fi network can be used to connect computers to each other, to the Internet, and to wired networks (which use IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet). Wi-Fi networks operate in the unlicensed 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands, at an 11 Mbps (802.11a) or 54 Mbps (802.11b) data rate, for example, or with products that contain both bands (dual band), so the networks can provide real-world performance similar to the basic 10BaseT wired Ethernet networks used in many offices.
