Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for prioritizing presence information for telecommunication, referred to as 'presence information priority.' Presence information can include, be accompanied by, or otherwise associated with a suitable priority level that indicates the significance of the presence notification. Such presence information priority enables clients to act or otherwise respond to the presence information according to the priority. A presence server or other suitable presence service associates priority indications with the presence information, and sends the presence information and associated priority indications to the client devices. Each client device can receive the same or different priority indication as other client devices for the presence information. The priority information can include a plurality of priority levels, including, for example, 'low,' 'normal,' and 'high.' The presence clients utilize the priority information according to the client's implementations to suitably notify or otherwise alert the client to the priority notification.
