1. A communication device, which is a first communication device, the first communication device comprising:
- a processor configured to execute instructions which;
determine an identity associated with a second communication device and determine an identity associated with a third communication device;
identify, based at least in part on the determined identity associated with the second communication device, a first image indicative of a first status of a user of the first communication device; and
identify, based at least in part on the determined identity associated with the third communication device, a second image indicative of a second status of the user of the first communication device, the second status being different from the first status; and
a transmitter configured to;
transmit, based on the determined identity associated with the second device, data indicative of the first image to the second communication device for display on the second communication device; and
transmit, based on the determined identity relating to the third device, data indicative of the second image to the third communication device for display on the third communication device,wherein the first image is different from the second image, and wherein the first image is available for transmission to the second communication device at the same time the second image is available for transmission to the third communication device.

18. A system for providing communication between mobile communication devices, the system comprising:
-
a receiver configured to receive from a first communication device data indicative of a first status and a second status of a user of the first communication device, the first status being different from the second status; a processor configured to; generate and concurrently maintain a first environment and a second environment, wherein the first environment displays a first image indicative of the first status of the user, and wherein the second environment displays a second image indicative of the different second status of the user, the second image being different from the first image; and grant selective access to additional communication devices to the first environment and the second environment, wherein the grant of selective access is based on data associated with users of the additional communication devices, and wherein additional communication devices receiving access to the first environment are restricted from access to the second environment. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
