  • An object of the invention is to overcome the above described problems.

  • Each terminal 1 ,3,5,7 comprises as mentioned above a presence client 13.
  • the presence client 13 is responsible for the presence functions in the terminal. It comprises for example a user interface and a buddy list.
  • the presence server 11 comprises a receiving means 15 for receiving updated presence information from the presence clients 13.

  • the presence server 11 notifies both the second and the third users B, C as long as the first user A has accepted them as receivers of his presence information.
  • the presence server 11 will not be described further here since it is well known in the art.
  • each presence client 13 in the terminals 1,3,5,7 comprises a sensing means 19, which is adapted to sense communication limiting factors affecting the terminal. This could be for example if the terminal is running out of batteries, if the terminal is coming into an area with bad radio coverage or if the terminal is getting out from an area with bad radio coverage and is ready to cornmu- nicate again. Another example of a communication limiting factor is when the cash or credit card used in for example a telephone is empty. It is also possible that the sensing means 19 can sense if there is a problem in the hardware in the terminal. For example if the terminal has been dropped and the microphone has been broken and the other subscribers get information about this they would know that they can reach this subscriber using another kind of communication method, for example e-mail or
  • the sensing means 19 can sense this and force the presence client 13 to automatically send out a change of presence state to the presence server 11.
  • the presence client 13 also attaches a text message telling the reason for the changed presence state.
  • a communication limiting factor could be a time limit set by the producer of the terminal, by the user's parents who are paying the bill or possibly by the user himself. The reason could be to limiting the cost or perhaps limiting the expo- sure of radio waves to the user.
  • the sensing means 19 senses that the time limit is reached and the presence client 13 sends instructions to the presence server 11 to change presence state.
  • a text message is suitably attached as described above.
  • the sensing means 19 comprises suitably one or more thresholds. One threshold for each of the communication limiting factors the sensing means 19 should be sensitive for. The values from the measurements performed in the sensing means 19 are compared with these thresholds and when a threshold is exceeded the presence client 13 sends instructions to the presence server 11 that the presence state should be changed.
  • the presence state is preferably accompanied by a short text message informing the other subscribers about the reasons for a "not present" state. This is preferred since the actions taken by the other subscribers may be different depending on the reason for a not present state. If the user for which the presence state was changed, lets say the first user A in this case, has entered a region with bad radio coverage the other subscribers can expect that the presence state will change again relatively soon. If the first user A is out of money the other subscribers realises that they can call the first user A but he can not call them.
  • An alternative to the text message could be to have more predefined presence states symbols. For example one symbol for not present due to low battery, one symbol for not present due to bad radio coverage and so on.
  • a presence server 11 has been described as a unit for managing the presence service. It is however not necessary that the presence update informa- tion is distributed to the subscribers through a presence server. The presence information could as well be transferred directly between the presence clients in the terminals.
  • An advantage with the presence server 11 is however that the new presence state and the text message is stored in the presence server 11 and new subscribers, who connects to the service later, can have the information about the first user A as well.
  • Presence information is sent as a predefined data type for presence. This could be a MIME type in a SIP message. It is however also possible to utilise for example IM (Instant Message), e-mail, SMS (Short Message Service) or WAP
  • SMS Wireless Application Protocol
  • An SMS could be sent automatically to the second party in a communication when the first party has changed presence state. This SMS is sent automatically when a threshold has been exceeded as described above. The SMS is a text message telling the second party what has happened to the first party.
  • Fig. 2 is a flowchart of one of all these examples described above. The different steps are described separately below:
  • S23 The sensing means 19 in the presence client 13 in the first user's mobile terminal 1 senses that the radio coverage is getting worse.
  • the radio coverage is so bad that the measurement value decreases below a threshold comprised in the sensing means 19 as described above.
  • a text message is included telling the reason for the change of presence state, i.e. bad radio coverage in this case.
  • the third user C connects to the service and subscribes for presence informa- tion from the first user A.
  • the presence server 11 notifies the third user C about the "not present" state of the first user A together with the text message telling that the first user A experiences a bad radio coverage and is unable to communicate.
  • the above described example is only one example.
  • a similar flow chart can be provided for the examples where a mobile telephone, a PDA or a laptop runs out of battery or enters a region with better or worse radio coverage or experiences any of the other above described alternatives of communication limiting factors.
  • the pres- ence client 13 always instructs the presence server 11 to change presence state when the sensing means 19 in the terminal measures a value which exceeds a predetermined threshold.
  • the sensing means 19 in the presence client 13 also senses when the terminal is turned on again or has moved into a region with better radio cover- age. Then the presence client 13 will instruct the presence server 11 to change the presence state back to "present”.
  • the presence client suitably comprises threshold values for battery and radio coverage levels and for the other factors described above.
  • the battery level is decreasing down below the threshold value an instruction to change presence state is sent to the presence server.
  • the battery level instead increases and passes the threshold value. Then the presence state is changed from "not present” to "present”.
  • the same discussion is applicable to the other communication limiting factors as well.
