METHOD OF PROVIDING ACCESS TO PRESENCE RELATED INFORMATION

摘要

Presence information for a user is stored and made accessible using a conventional client server or peer to peer Presence model. The identity of any entity that requests or accesses this Presence information is however logged and then automatically provided to a wireless information device operated by the user. This enables the device to display the identity of the entity that requested or accessed the Presence information and hence a can prompt a user to contact the entity that sought his Presence information and b inhibits inappropriate accessing of Presence information.
