Method and wireless device for establishing a communication interface for a communication session

A wireless device for establishing a communication interface, the wireless device comprising:

• a graphical user interface;
• a user input device;
• and
• a controller operatively coupled to the graphical user interface and a user input device,
• the controller comprising a processor and a memory operatively coupled to the processor, the controller being programmed to receive presence information associated with a first party within the wireless device, the wireless device being operable by a second party;
• the controller being programmed to generate a notification within the wireless device to alert the second party, the notification corresponding to the presence information and the communication capability associated with the first party;
• and
• the controller being programmed to provide the communication interface for the communication session between the first and second parties based on the presence information and the communication capability,
• wherein the controller is a controller being programmed to receive presence information associated with the first party within the wireless device in response to a trigger event, the trigger event comprising one of a registration, a user input and a change in status.

In a wireless communication system, wherein a processor operates in accordance with a computer program embodied on a computer-readable medium for establishing a communication interface for a communication session, the computer program comprising:

• a first routine that directs the processor to receive presence information associated with a first party within a wireless device, the wireless device being operated by a second party;
• a second routine that directs the processor to generate a notification within the wireless device to alert the second party, the notification corresponding to the presence information and a communication capability associated with the first party;
• and
• a third routine that directs the processor to provide the communication interface for the communication session between the first and second parties based on the presence information and the communication capability,
• wherein the first routine comprises a routine that directs the processor to receive presence information associated with the first party within the wireless device in response to a trigger event, the trigger event comprising one of a registration, a user input and a change in status.
