  • Publication number: 20060212583
    Abstract: A method, system, and program for distributing messaging session logs to users entering an already ongoing messaging session are provided. When, first and second user are participating in an ongoing instant messaging session and an additional user enters the instant messaging session, the additional user can only see those entries in the instant messaging session that occur after the additional user enters the messaging session. A logging controller, however, automatically records a log of all the entries in the messaging session when the logging controller detects the entrance of an additional user to an ongoing messaging session. Then, the logging controller provides a selectable option for the first or second user, the selection of which triggers the logging controller to pass the log of previous entries to the additional user.

  • Publication number: 20060210034
    Abstract: A method, system, and program for enabling a user to store a messaging session entry for delivery when an intended recipient is next available are provided. A messaging agent stores a message entry by a user, wherein the message entry is intended for communication in a messaging session with an intended recipient who is unavailable to receive the message entry when the message entry is entered by the user. The messaging agent then monitors the presence of the intended recipient and responsive to detecting a change in presence from “unavailable” to “available”, the messaging agent prompts the user to select whether to send the message entry to the intended recipient in a new messaging session. In addition, a user may select additional actions for the messaging agent to perform in distributing the message entry, where the additional actions are conditioned on the presence of the intended recipient and at least one non-presence based requirement.
