DEVICE FOR MANAGING USER PRESENCE DATA DERIVED FROM A PLURALITY OF PRESENCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

摘要

The invention concerns a device for managing user presence data derived from user presence management systems concerning respective user communication means (8, 8', 9), comprising a presence management module (1) designed independently of the user communication means and presence management servers (5, 6, 7) and including: a central module (11) managing presence data; an applicative interface (12) for implementing the presence management function; storage means (15) assembling data for identifying the users and their communication means and presence data; and an interface (13) with the presence management servers to ensure communications between the central module and the presence management servers; said communications being carried out via adaptation modules (16, 17, 18), to take into account specific characteristics of the presence management servers and the communication protocols used.
