Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed to remotely update the user status of a user on a presence server. Assume that a communication server provides a communication service to a client device operating a client application, and a presence server coupled to the communication server monitors the user status. In one embodiment of the invention, a status updating system comprises an interface system adapted to receive a request to update the user status on the presence server from a communication device not operating the client application. The status updating system further comprises a processing system coupled to the interface system that is adapted to identify a user identifier of the user for the communication service on the presence server in response to the request, and to transmit an update message to the presence server to update the user status for the communication service indicated by the user identifier.
