Abstract: Static user information such as address, title, phone number(s), email address(es) and dynamic user information such as location, calendar, current phone number(s), etc. are combined in a dynamically updateable subscriber contact card for publishing to other applications. The subscriber contact card also includes user defined access controls for restricting access to portions of the information by select users. Other applications provide services such as communication services based on up-to-date information through the subscriber contact card.

Abstract: Alternate contacts information for a subscriber is dynamically generated and managed by schematizing representation of alternate contacts. Initial alternate contacts are computed based on organization hierarchy, delegate information set by a user in system directory, contacts information set by the user in personal directories, and/or by other user defined settings. The information is customized by the user and associated with user presence such that a dynamic alternate contacts list is published to other users based on a presence status of the user.
