1. An apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
anda memory including a computer program, the memory and the computer program configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to;
detect an incoming call from a calling entity;
determine if a subscription by a called party to presence information stored in a presence server is to presence information provided to the presence server by the calling entity;
in an instance in which the subscription by the called party to presence information stored in the presence server is to presence information provided to the presence server by the calling entity,determining whether media data corresponding to the presence information provided by the calling entity is present on a receiving device of the incoming call;
in response to a determination that the media data is not present, causing the media data to be downloaded in advance of a notification of the incoming call;
andcause media data, obtained from the presence server corresponding to the presence information provided by the calling entity, to be output.

Abstract
An incoming call is detected from a calling entity. If the incoming call is associated with a subscription to presence information media data associated with the subscription can be output through an output unit in the telephone terminal. If the incoming call is determined to be associated with a subscription to presence information, it is determined whether the media data is present in the terminal, and if the media data is present in the terminal, the media data is output through an output unit in the telephone terminal.

8. A computer program product comprising computer readable program code stored in a memory, the computer program product comprising:
-
computer readable program code for causing a computer to detect an incoming call from a calling entity; computer readable program code for causing a computer to determine whether a subscription by a called party to presence information is to presence information provided by the calling entity; computer readable program code for causing media data corresponding to the presence information provided by the calling entity to be downloaded in advance of an incoming call in an instance in which the subscription by the called party to presence information stored in the presence server is to presence information provided to the presence server by the calling entity; computer readable program code for detecting an incoming call from the calling entity after the media data corresponding to the presence information provided by the calling entity has been downloaded; and computer readable program code for causing a computer to output media data associated with the subscription to the presence information provided by the calling entity. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method comprising:
-
detecting an incoming call from a calling entity; determining, with a processor, whether a subscription by a called party to presence information stored in a presence server is to presence information provided to the presence server by the calling entity; in an instance in which the subscription by the called party to presence information stored in the presence server is to presence information provided to the presence server by the calling entity, determining whether media data corresponding to the presence information provided by the calling entity is present on a receiving device of the incoming call; in response to a determination that the media data is not present, causing the media data to be downloaded in advance of a notification of the incoming call; and causing media data, obtained from the presence server corresponding to the presence information provided by the calling entity, to be output. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory including a computer program, the memory and the computer program configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to; in response to detecting an incoming call from a calling entity associated with a caller identity, determine whether media data that is provided by a subscription to a presence service corresponding to presence information provided by the calling entity is present on the apparatus, said media data comprising at least a portion of presence information provided by a plurality of entities including the calling entity and held by a presence server that provides the presence service to the apparatus; in response to a determination that the media data is not present, receive the media data; and associate said media data with the caller identity, said media data comprising at least part of the presence information provided by the calling entity and held by the presence server, wherein the media data is configured to be output through an output unit of a communication terminal in an instance in which the incoming call from the calling entity is detected.

22. A method comprising:
-
in response to detecting an incoming call from a calling entity associated with a caller identity, determining whether media data that is provided by a subscription to a presence service corresponding to presence information provided by the calling entity is present on the apparatus, said media data comprising at least a portion of presence information provided by a plurality of entities including the calling entity and held by a presence server that provides the presence service to the apparatus; in response to a determination that the media data is not present, receiving the media data; and associating, with a processor, said media data with the caller identity, said media data comprising at least part of the presence information provided by the calling entity and held by the presence server, wherein the media data is configured to be output through an output unit of a communication terminal in an instance in which the incoming call from the calling entity is detected.
