  • Determining presence status using motion detection
    Patent number: 8880118
    Abstract: Determining a presence status associated with a user of a mobile communications device allows for presence information to be provided to network elements and device clients. Presence status information includes information that indicates whether a user is likely available via the mobile communications device. Acceleration data associated with the mobile device is collected and analyzed to determine whether a human profile is indicated. Presence status information is generated based at least on whether the human profile is indicated.

  • Determining presence status using heat and motion detection
    Patent number: 8103304
    Abstract: A method, system, and medium are provided for determining a presence status associated with a user of a mobile communications device. Heat and motion information is collected by heat detectors and accelerometers within the device. The heat and motion information is referenced to determine whether the information suggests that the user is available via the mobile communications device, and a presence status is assigned based on that determination. Presence status information is communicated to a presence server.
