Presence enhanced telephony service architecture

A tangible storage medium encoded with an executable computer program, the medium comprising:

• a receiving segment for receiving a query, by the presence server from service logic, the query including call parameters and call information, regarding a call from a session initiator to a session terminator;
• a comparing segment for comparing, by the presence server, the call parameters and the call information with a stored presence profile established for the session terminator, the stored presence profile including preferred treatment information;
• a collecting segment for collecting usage information of the session terminator, and for automatically generating preferred treatment information for the session initiator based on prior usage information of the session terminator in response to at least one prior call from the session initiator, when the preferred treatment information has not been established by the session terminator;
• and
• a determining segment for determining a treatment of the call, by the presence server, based upon the stored presence profile and the preferred treatment information.

A presence server that provides presence services in a telecommunications system, the presence server comprising:

• a service logic interface for receiving a query, from service logic, including call parameters and call information regarding a call from a session initiator to a session terminator;
• a processor for comparing the received call parameters and call information with a stored presence profile established for the session terminator, the stored presence profile including preferred treatment information;
• and
• a storage for storing the presence profile, including the preferred treatment information,
• wherein the presence server collects usage information of the session terminator, and automatically generates preferred treatment information for the session initiator based on prior usage information of the session terminator in response to at least one prior call from the session initiator when the preferred information treatment information has not been established by the session terminator, and
• wherein the presence server determines the treatment of the call based upon the stored presence profile and the preferred treatment information.
