Abstract: A personal presentity presence service provides support for heterogeneous presentities. Presentity types including personal presentities are registered with a presentity manifest store that includes information such as type names, addresses of applications associated with actions related to the presentity type, application parameters, icons for watcher application, and the like. Personal presentity service identifies the personal presentity types associated with the user and automatically organizes these into a personal presence group for management and presentation purposes. Users (watchers) can then register for different groups of personal presentities, which are devices and systems personally associated with the user, based on a type of presentity and receive updated presence information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed for providing location-specific information. One such method includes receiving location information corresponding to communication devices. The location information is determined based on characteristics of Internet communications and/or mobile wireless communications of the communication devices. A determination is then made based on the location information that a communication device is located within a certain remote area. Location-specific information that is based on the remote area is then transmitted to the communication device.

Abstract: A monitoring and entry system presence service provides notification about a trigger event to a user and performs actions based on user input. Interface devices equipped with client applications capable of performing actions such as VoIP calls, video calls, and the like, register with a control and session layer, which facilitates interaction with a specific presence application and an integrated presence service, such as a doorbell application and a generic presence service. Upon determining the location of a user, notification and a list of actions are provided through a watcher client application. In response to the user selection, actions are facilitated through the same network session(s).

Abstract: A dynamically configurable presence service provides support for heterogeneous presentities. Presentity types are registered using a presentity manifest that includes information such as type names, addresses of applications associated with actions related to the presentity type, application parameters, icons for watcher application, and the like. Users (watchers) can then register for different groups of presentities based on type and receive updated presence information. Watcher applications are dynamically configured for presentation and management purposes based on updated presentity type information.

Abstract: A doorbell presence hardware is configured to provide notification about a trigger event at an entry point such as a person at the door pressing a button. The doorbell presence hardware is equipped with physical components such as a camera, a microphone, a speaker, and the like, and associated client applications to facilitate user selected actions in response to the notification. The doorbell presence service controlling the doorbell presence hardware includes an integrated presence service to determine a location of the user and provide notification and a list of actions through a watcher client application. The interactions of the system are facilitated through network sessions.
