System and method for updating status information
First Claim
1. A method of updating status information, the method comprising:
- detecting, at a status server within a network, that a mobile device is one of offline with respect to the network and out of coverage from the network and is unable to communicate with the status server and a plurality of information processing systems within the network;
receiving, at the status server while the mobile device is one of offline and out of coverage, one or more events associated with the mobile device from at least one information processing system in the plurality of information processing systems;
determining, at the status server based on detecting that the mobile device is one of offline and out of coverage and the one or more events that have been received, a first status change for the mobile device to be applied for one or more information processing systems in the plurality of information processing systems, each of the one or more information processing systems being associated with a corresponding communication service for a plurality of entities comprising the mobile device; and
sending, by the status server, a first status update from the status server to each of the one or more information processing systems on behalf of the mobile device while the mobile device is one of offline and out of coverage.

Abstract
To avoid the need to access multiple applications and perform multiple corresponding status changes each time a user or device'"'"'s status or availability changes, multiple status updates can be generated and provided to corresponding systems, according to a detected event. To enable status updates to be provided to multiple systems based on the detected event, a status update module can be used, which is operable to send multiple status updates to multiple systems on behalf of a mobile device. By using a status server or other network-based component to performing such updating, processing can be offloaded from the mobile devices and updates can be performed even when the mobile devices are not communicable with the systems being updated.
