US 2010/0075650 A1 · METHOD OF CHANGING STATUS OF INSTANT MESSAGE SOFTWARE

Abstract

This invention provides a software status configuration method and a mobile communication device using the same. The mobile communication device has a real-time operation mode and a real-time usage status, respectively representing the status of the user and the usage of the mobile communication device. The mobile communication device further includes a network communication software for performing real-time communication with other contacts online. The network communication software has a user status for indicating whether the user is available for real-time communication. The software status configuration method of the present invention will configure the user status based on combinations of the current real-time operation mode and the real-time usage status.
