Method for representing a list containing presence data

摘要

The invention relates to a method for representing a list (LI) containing presence data (PD) on a display unit (A) of a first communication terminal (KEG 1 ). The presence data is stored on a presence computer (PR). Presence data from the presence computer is requested by means of a request message (ABN) by means of a list generating device (LE). The presence data concerns a predetermined selection of additional communication terminals (KEG 2 , KEG 3 ) which are associated with users. Format data (FD) associated with the first communication terminal (KEG 1 ) is determined by the list generating device which describes a data format which can be represented on the display unit of the first communication terminal. Presence data is prepared by using the format data such that a list (LI) is produced which has a data format which can be represented and the list is transmitted to the first communication terminal for displaying on the display unit.
