Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005017660A2] A system and method to allow a user of instant messaging chat modules in a network to share identity-based activity, active content of the certain user, and related information with contacts. For example, the user's instant messenger contacts may view recent or current active content, ongoing and recent online activity, etc., of another user. A sender peer includes an application module to activate a media content file from a content repository, or perform online activities through an activity server. The sender peer also includes a chat module, which detects identity-based activity and active content, and sends related indications to a recipient peer. The recipient peer includes a chat module to display identity-based activity and active content based on the indications, and an application module to activate related content files. A content enhancement server provides supplemental content information for display at the recipient peer and content previews. The content enhancement server also enables a transaction related to the content file such as a purchase of an MP3 copy of the content.
