CA 2440159

A system for instant communication in real time is described wherein it is determined if a user with a given e-mail address Is available for on-line messaging. The system takes in a group of e-mail addresses and automatically looks for screen names that are available for instant messaging. Once a screen name is available for online communication, an icon appears next to the screen name. Instant messaging is achieved by pressing the icon. The screen names, the icons and the e-mail addresses all appear in the same window, thereby, integrating traditional e-mail addresses with instant messaging services making real time communication an effective tool.

L'invention concerne un système de communication instantané en temps réel permettant de déterminer si un utilisateur doté d'une adresse électronique donnée est disponible pour la messagerie en ligne. Le système prend un groupe d'adresses e-mail et cherche automatiquement des noms d'écran disponibles pour une communication instantanée. Dès qu'un nom d'écran est disponible pour une communication en ligne, une icone apparaît à côté du nom d'écran. Il est possible d'utiliser la messagerie instantanée en cliquant sur l'icône. Les noms d'écrans, icônes et adresses e-mail apparaissent tous dans la même fenêtre, ce qui permet d'intégrer les adresses e-mail traditionnelles aux services de messagerie instantanée et de faire de la communication en temps réel un outil efficace.
