27. A server used, in a presence managing system including at least one first terminal device to view presence information and at least one second terminal device to disclose the presence information, to provide information concerning the presence of the at least one second terminal device to the at least one first terminal device, the server comprising:
-
a presence information containing unit to contain the presence information of the second terminal device; a presence-enabled target registration information containing unit to contain presence-enabled target registration information, which represents the second terminal device being registered in the first terminal device as a presence-enabled target; an update information transmitting unit to transmit update information, which indicates that the presence information of the second terminal device includes updated information, to the first terminal device, in which the second terminal device is registered as the presence-enabled target, based on the presence indicative terminal registration information being contained in the presence-enabled target registration information containing unit when the presence information of the second terminal device is updated; and an updated presence information transmission unit to transmit the updated presence information of the second terminal device to the first terminal device based on a request from the first terminal device.
