TLDR
In this paper, a system and method is provided to facilitate communication and collaboration by considering the timing of a user's activities on one or more clients via accessing, from a centralized server, information about the user's client-server interactions.Abstract:
A system and method is provided to facilitate communication and collaboration by considering the timing of a user's activities on one or more clients via accessing, from a centralized server, information about the user's client-server interactions. The systems and methods can harness existing protocols and data exchange used in legacy client-server applications for email, making available to one or more client-side message routing applications, information about a user's interactions with email across multiple clients. Applications include considering the time since the last client-server interaction to guide decisions about if, when, and how to route messages so as to limit the mobile relay of information a user has already seen, providing information to colleagues about a user's current or past “inbox presence,” and forecasting the time until a user will have access to a device or communication channel.read more

Maintaining an IP connection in a mobile network
TL;DR: In this article, a method for IP [=lnternet protocol] communication between a mobile terminal and its correspondent node in a mobile radio network is proposed, which is based on monitoring the lengths of several periods of inactivity at which the radio network disconnects the IP connection.
