Users employ a variety of devices and media to communicate with one another, each with its own peculiar characteristics. Managing several devices and identities is not easy, both for the user as well as for others who wish to call her. Switching devices on or off at various times, changing profiles, blocking callers, creating spam filters, etc are tedious activities. While devices and services carry some facilities for call management, these may not be as general or flexible as desired. In this paper we present Universal Rich Presence Framework (URPF) which is a general framework for managing communication between users in a customizable and scalable manner. We wish to have one UserID servicing all the devices of a paricular user. URPF is a module which, on receiving a call request for some User ID, is able to dynamically reason about certain content and context information of that call to compute the (nearly) optimal device for handling the call. This assignment problem is expressed using a hierarchical combinatory structure. This paper presents a description of the URPF module where call requests are handled differentially based on parameters such as who is calling, when, where the user is, and what capabilities are available. A prototype implementation of URPF based on the SIP protocol is reported together with experimental results that indicate that the approach is scalable. The intention is to illustrate that a very large variety of intelligent call management services can be achieved in a systematic and programmatic manner by choosing an appropriate set of call context parameters and manipulating them in a simple combinatory framework. |
