摘要

Telecommunication system providing presence information, comprising a network (3), a first mobile terminal (1) and a second mobile terminal (2), comprising assessment means arranged for assessing to what extend the second terminal or its user (5) would be able and/or prepared to be called, and for outputting assessment data representing that ability to be called, as well as storage means (6) for storage those assessment data. The first mobile terminal is arranged to receive and to display, the representation of the second terminals assessment data retrieved from said storage means, in order to support the first mobile terminal's user (4) to decide to call or not to call the second terminal in view of the ability/readiness of the second terminal and/or its user to be called. The assessment means may comprise detection means for detecting the locomotion or travelling mode and/or speed of the second terminal, e.g. arranged to cooperate with any public positioning system like GPS, GSM etc. The assessment means may comprise detection means for detecting whether the second terminal's user is involved in driving any motor vehicle, e.g. arranged to cooperate with a control or management system of the motor vehicle, and being arranged for detecting whether the user has set the second terminal to handsfree or to not-handsfree operation.
