First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing presence updates to a client, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a networked computer, multiple presence updates from a presence server, wherein each of the multiple presence updates indicates one or more states of a respective one or more presence attributes;
accumulating, by the networked computer, state transitions indicated in the received multiple updates, for at least one presence attribute, in the one or more presence attributes, to determine at least one final state of the respective at least one or more presence attributes; and
generating, by the networked computer, a consolidated presence update that includes only the at least one final state for the respective at least one presence attribute; and
reporting, by the networked computer the consolidated presence update to a client.

Abstract
A network node provides presence updates to mobile users. The node reduces the amount of network traffic by eliminating the need for explicit messaging used to inform a user of presence updates. Additionally, the node reduces network traffic by consolidating presence updates, and sending the user only changed portions of the presence information.
