Abstract
Data characterizing the presence state of a user registered to use a communication service is sent to a server for the management of presence data in order to update presence data allocated to the user of a communication service. The data sent to the server is stored as presence data allocated to the user and is made available for predefinable other users. Authorization to change presence data is given to another selected user upon user release.
