System and method to initiate a presence driven peer to peer communications session on non-ims and ims networks

A computer program product comprising a computer usable storage medium having readable program code tangibly embodied in the storage medium, the computer program product being operable to:

• receive presence information from both IMS and non-IMS network devices;
• route presence information from the non-IMS network devices to IMS compliant presence components;
• route call information received from either of the IMS or non-IMS network devices to a callee based on configurable preferences provided by the callee and correlated to the presence information;
• and
• generate a charge record for the routing on an IMS complaint charging platform.

A system for call routing applications, comprising:

• a computer infrastructure being operable to:
• route presence information from both non-IMS network devices and IMS network devices to IMS compliant presence components;
• route call information received from the non-IMS network devices and IMS network devices to a callee based on configurable preferences provided by the callee and correlated to the presence information on the IMS compliant presence components;
• and
• send charging information for the routing to an IMS complaint charging platform associated with the IMS compliant presence components.

A system, comprising:

• an IMS presence server configured to receive presence information from IMS compliant network devices;
• a non-IMS component configured to receive presence information from non-IMS compliant network devices and communicating the presence information from the non-IMS compliant network devices to the IMS presence server;
• and
• an IMS compliant charging platform communicating with the IMS presence server and providing charging records for the presence information received from the IMS presence server for both the IMS compliant network devices and the non-IMS compliant network devices.
