Subscribers are able to selectively reveal their availability for communicating to various entities, based on the interaction of one or more customizable policies, preferences and active status of communicating devices. Availability status software comprising one or more agents determines and indicates the availability mode of specifically identified entities. Subscribers are able to establish a personal agent and control policies and preferences remotely using, for example, an internet connected computer-based device. Alternatively, service providers are able to modify the content of the agent of behalf of their subscribers in accordance with predetermined communication preferences (automatic or defined by subscribers). |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides for a system and method for a subscriber to dynamically reveal their availability status for communicating with one or more entities or grouped entities.
A subscriber creates one or more routing policies for specific entities or groups (that help determine the order of termination of communication devices (e.
g.
, home, office, cellular, unavailable, etc.
) as well as the type of available communication medium (i.
e.
, text, voice, etc.
).
The availability status is a function of the current policy of the subscriber, which contains their routing policies, general and security preferences (privacy), and their devices' current status (presence).
The dynamic, subscriber controlled, combination of these items will create a selective revealing of the subscribers availability based on a match to a correspondingly identified requestor.
Based on the present invention, subscribers are able to maintain one or more policies (corresponding to one or more requesters or groups of requesters) that help selectively reveal the availability mode of a subscriber based on the identity of the requester.
For example, if subscribers L and M initiate a communication requesting the availability of subscriber N, and subscriber N utilizes two communication devices, device 1 and device 2, to receive such communications, the system of the present invention allows subscriber N to maintain two separate policies, one each for subscribers L and M, regarding how the incoming communication (regarding availability) is to be handled.
In other words, the system of the present invention allows subscriber N to selectively reveal the availability (to subscribers L and/or M) for communication (via device 1 and/or device 2) based on subscriber-based pre-defined customizable policies.
For example, if device 1 in the described example is a home phone and device 2 is a cellular phone, the system of the present invention allows subscriber N to create: A first policy to reveal availability in the home phone and cellular phone if subscriber L is initiating the availability request, and A second policy to reveal availability in home phone only if subscriber M is initiating the availability request
