Methods and systems for providing application level presence information in wireless communication
First Claim
1. A network gateway, comprising:
- an input connection configured to receive a message for delivery to a recipient wireless device; and
an output configured to deliver a presence query to a presence server storing presence data, the presence data being updated upon an entry of the recipient wireless device into a sleep mode;
wherein the message is delivered to the recipient wireless device based on the presence data received from the presence server.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for determining and maintaining user presence information include capturing user presence data with an application presence server. The application presence server can be configured to update user presence data as a user initiates or exits an application. Applications associated with user presence data are configured to query an application proxy client concerning user presence data of a selected user and, based on a returned user status, deliver, discard, or redirect a message intended for the user. User presence data is stored in a user presence repository and can be provided via Internet-based or other connections to applications executed on external networks. User activity status can be used to select or update user presence data. In some examples, an application server of an external network is configured to receive user presence data from the presence server.
