  • Publication number: 20020129103
    Abstract: A method for updating presence information between a client and a server wherein an update request having a first presence information version number associated therewith is transmitted from the client to a server.

If the first and second version numbers do not match, a presence information update response is transmitted from the server to the client. If the first and second version numbers do match, a presence information update response is delayed until receipt of a new update or expiration of a timeout period.
