IP多媒體子系統(IP Multimedia Subsystem)為3GPP(The 3rd Generation Partnership Project)所制定，其標準整合目前有線和無線網路並與傳統電信服務整合。由於IP多媒體子系統整合多種網路以及支援多種多媒體通訊服務，比起其它的即時通訊軟體(Instant Messenger)，IMS更適合建立社群網路(Social Network)。目前的研究很多致力於整合社群網站(Social Network Sites)和IMS，但就IMS客戶端軟體而言，市面上並沒有具社群網路功能的軟體。 智慧型行動裝置在人們生活中扮演重要角色，在各種作業系統中，以Android使用人數最多。在本論文中我們將在Android平台上，開發出XCAP(XML Configuration Access Protocol)模組，並使用此模組提供IMS客戶端軟體好友列表(Buddy List)和現狀資訊服務(Presence Service)。根據六度分隔理論(Six Degree of Separation)，我們開發出多層可視好友清單(Multilayer Visualized-Buddy Lists)，藉此讓我們的IMS客戶端軟體具社群網路功能。 The IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) is a 3GPP (The 3rd Generation Partnership Project) standard which integrates different network types and traditional telecom service. IMS not only integrates all network types but supports a lot multimedia communication service. According the properties of IMS, it’s the best framework for establishing a social network. The research focused on the integration the IMS with social network sites but there is no IMS client software providing social network service in the market. The popularity of smart mobile devices has changed our live. Since the powerful hardware and the software development, we can install many instant messengers and get rich communication experience from the smart mobile devices. Android is an open source code project from Google and it has the first market share in mobile operation system area now. In our thesis, we will implement the XCAP (XML Configuration Access Protocol) modules in android platform. We will integrate the buddy list and presence service in our IMS client software by using our XCAP modules. According to Six Degree of Separation, we developed the MV-BLs (Multilayer Visualized-Buddy Lists) which enables the social network service in our IMS client software.
