1. A system to facilitate notifications, comprising:
- one or more processors configured to execute computer-executable instructions; and
one or more memory storage devices storing the computer-executable instructions, the one or more memory storage devices comprising;
a state component to receive information relating to a state of at least one entity, wherein an entity is an individual or group of individuals; and
a notification component to dynamically render at least one graphical indicia representative of the state of the at least one entity to at least one user, the notification component further configured to determine graphical indicia to render based upon a utility component configured to factor cost to the at least one user associated with rendering graphical indicia that incorrectly represents the state of the at least one entity versus benefit to the at least one user of rendering graphical indicia that correctly represents the state of the at least one entity.

Abstract
A rich communication profile system with notifications. The system is a feedback mechanism that utilizes rich content, e.g., multimedia content, as one or more indicators that represent the status of a remote user. The system includes a state component that receives information relating to state of at least one entity. A notifications component dynamically renders at least one personalized graphical indicia representative of the entity'"'"'s state. The entity can be a person, group of people, component, place, and object.

11. A computer-implemented method of facilitating message notifications, comprising:
-
receiving, by one or more processors, state information associated with a state of at least one entity, wherein an entity is an individual or group of individuals; dynamically rendering at least one graphical indicia representative of the state of the at least one entity based upon cost associated with rendering graphical indicia that incorrectly represents the state of the at least one entity versus benefit of rendering graphical indicia that correctly represents the state of the at least one entity; and presenting the at least one graphical indicia to at least one user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system to facilitate notifications, comprising:
-
one or more means for processing computer-executable instructions; and one or more memory storage devices storing the computer-executable instructions, the one or more memory storage devices comprising; means for receiving information relating to a state of at least one entity, wherein an entity is an individual or group of individuals; means for dynamically rendering at least one graphical indicia representative of the state of the at least one entity to at least one user, the means for dynamically rendering further configured to determine graphical indicia to render based upon a utility component configured to factor cost to the at least one user associated with rendering graphical indicia that incorrectly represents the state of the at least one entity versus benefit to the at least one user of rendering graphical indicia that correctly represents the state of the at least one entity; and means for the at least one entity to define a plurality of sets of graphical indicia representing states of the at least one entity, each set comprising at least one graphical indicia that is different for a particular state than the other sets, the at least one entity assigns at least one set for display to a first user and at least one other set for display to a second user.
