Abstract
A system, method and computer program product for providing a user a way to change communications presence information is disclosed. A point of presence (PPD) device may produce presentity (a source of presence information about a user) which may be transmitted out-of-band to a watcher or watchers of an intelligent call handling presence server.
Claims13
A method comprising:
- receiving a registration from a user for an out-of-band signaling service provider, including:
- associating at least one communications device with said out-of-band signaling service provider;
- setting a plurality of possible locations of the user;
- setting a plurality of possible levels of availability;
- setting a plurality of possible modalities of communications;
- and
- receiving a selection of an initial presence for the user, wherein said presence comprises a location selected from said plurality of possible locations, a level of availability selected from said plurality of possible levels of availability, and a modality of communication selected from said plurality of possible modalities of communications;
- provisioning at a communication system a communications channel to route calls to the user according to said presence;
- receiving a new selection of a new presence from the user over an out-of-band signaling system;
- reprovisioning at the communications system to route calls to the user according to said new presence;
- and
- sending an acknowledgement of receipt of said new selection of said new presence.
