TECHNOLOGIES FOR PREDICTING AVAILABILITY STATUS CHANGES

摘要

Technologies for predicting availability status changes in an instant messaging application include one or more client computing devices usable by a user to interface with the IM application and a provider computing device to manage the IM application. The provider computing device is configured to retrieve present availability status information for a user of an instant messenger (IM) application and identify a behavioral pattern of a plurality of behavioral patterns for the user as a function of the present availability status. The provider computing device is additionally configured to determine a predicted availability status change event and update the availability status of the user based on the identified behavioral pattern. Additional embodiments are described herein.
