Abstract
The present invention provides a technique for using local time information associated with a monitored person when determining presence information and controlling communication sessions associated with the monitored person. The local time information is directly or indirectly related to the actual time or a time zone for the location at which the monitored person is located. In a presence system, the local time information for the monitored person is obtained and used to generate presence information. The presence information may be or include information related to the actual time or the time zone for the monitored person. The presence information may also be based on state information provided by monitored entities associated with the monitored person. In a session control system, sessions associated with the monitored person may be controlled in virtually any manner and may also be associated with other communication sessions based on the local time information.
