Selective delivery of presence messages for wireless communication devices
First Claim
1. A method of operating a wireless communication system for communicating a presence message from a presence server to a monitoring wireless communication device, wherein the presence message indicates location-oriented status of a monitored wireless communication device, method comprising:
- in the wireless communication system, receiving the presence message from the presence server and determining if the monitoring wireless communication device is in an active mode;
responsive to receiving the presence message when the monitoring wireless communication device is in the active mode, in the wireless communication system, transferring the presence message for delivery to the monitoring wireless communication device; and
responsive to receiving the presence message when the monitoring wireless communication device is not in the active mode and filtering characteristics indicate to transfer the presence message then, in the wireless communication system, transferring the presence message for delivery to the monitoring wireless communication device;
responsive to receiving the presence message when the monitoring wireless communication device is not in the active mode and the filtering characteristics indicate to withhold transfer of the presence message then, in the wireless communication system, withholding transfer of the presence message to the monitoring wireless communication device, applying the filtering characteristics to the presence message, and creating summary data of the presence message, wherein the summary data comprises an identity of the monitored wireless communication device; and
responsive to the monitoring wireless communication device entering the active mode, transferring the summary data of the presence message for delivery to the monitoring wireless communication device.

Abstract
What is disclosed is a method for communicating a presence message from a presence server to a monitoring wireless communication device, wherein the presence message indicates a location-oriented status of a monitored wireless communication device. The method includes receiving the presence message from the presence server and determining if the monitoring wireless communication device is in an active mode. If the monitoring wireless communication device is in the active mode, the method includes transferring the presence message for delivery to the monitoring wireless communication device. If the monitoring wireless communication device is not in the active mode, the method includes applying filtering characteristics to the presence message, creating summary data of the presence message, and transferring the summary data of the presence message for delivery to the monitoring wireless communication device once the monitoring wireless communication device enters the active mode.
