Abstract

A system, method, and computer readable medium to provide alternative communications during jamming in a presence system, that comprises, registering a mobile device as a presentity to a presence server in the presence system, detecting a communication jamming of the mobile device, providing information related to the detected communication jamming as a state information to the presence server, and upon attempting to communicate with the mobile device while being jammed, providing the state information and offering an alternative communication suggestion.

Claims

1. A method to provide alternative communications during jamming in a presence system, comprising:

registering a mobile device as a presentity to a presence server in the presence system;

detecting a communication jamming of the mobile device;

providing information related to the detected communication jamming as a state information to the presence server; and

upon attempting to communicate with the mobile device while being jammed, providing the state information and offering an alternative communication suggestion.

2. The method of claim 1 comprising providing a presentity contact preference.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the alternative communication suggestion is voice mail.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the alternative communication suggestion is instant messaging.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the alternative communication suggestion is e-mail.

6. The method of claim 1 comprising determining a security authorization of at least one of:

a caller; and

a device attempting to communicate with the mobile device.

7. The method of claim 1 comprising providing a presentity physical location.

8. The method of claim 1 comprising directing to an alternative contact.

9. The method of claim 1 comprising upon attempting to communicate with the mobile device, providing at least one of:

a caller; and

a device attempting to communicate with the mobile device,

with an alternative contact information.

10. The method of claim 1 comprising combining the information related to the detected communication jamming with a presentity schedule to produce a presentity inferred state.

11. The method of claim 1 comprising providing the information related to the detected communication jamming prior to attempting the communication.

12. A computer readable medium comprising instructions for:

registering a mobile device as a presentity to a presence server;

detecting a communication jamming of the mobile device; and

providing the information related to the detected communication jamming as a state information to the presence server.

13. The computer readable medium of claim 12 comprising instructions for supplying selective communications jamming within a user'"'"'s home.

14. The computer readable medium of claim 13 wherein the selective jamming is timed.

15. The computer readable medium of claim 13 wherein the selective jamming excludes a pre-determined set of callers.

16. The computer readable medium of claim 12 comprising determining a security authorization of at least one of:

a caller; and

a device attempting to communicate with the mobile device.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 12 comprising instructions for combining the information related to the detected communication jamming with a presentity schedule to produce a presentity inferred state.

18. A system adapted to provide alternative communications during jamming in a presence system, comprising:

a mobile device registered as a presentity on the presence system; and

a presence server on the presence system, the presence server adapted to;

detect communication jamming of the mobile device; and

provide the information related to the detected communication jamming as a state information to the presence server.

19. The system of claim 18 wherein upon attempting to contact the mobile device while being jammed, at least one of:

a caller; and

a device attempting to communicate with the mobile device,

is provided with the state information and offered an alternative communication suggestion.

20. The system of claim 18 wherein the presence server combines the information related to the detected communication jamming with a presentity schedule to produce a presentity inferred state.
