Hmm, another questionable patent has been issued, this time to AOL and covering some instant messaging concepts. As a result, the patent governs a system of point-to-point communications involving users at a network of terminals. Users log on to the system with a unique identification code that remains the same regardless of their IP address, and can chat with other users logged on at the same time. The U.S. patent also covers "presence," or the ability to tell users' availability, since each member's identification code alerts the system when they log on, which, in turn, provides availability information to other users. Additionally, it protects what are commonly known as Buddy Lists, described in the patent as "a predefined list of users whose connection status the user wishes to know." Hmm, a lot of that sounds like it could be applied to a few other internet activities, including online forums and IRC.. thanks sclozza.
