September 26, 2008 -TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. (TCS) (TSYS), a leading provider of mission-critical wireless communications, today announced the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued patent number 7,426,380 for "Location Derived Presence Information." This TCS invention enables presence information to be provided at the same time that location information is being requested of a wireless device. Presence information is the status of the wireless user such as "available" or "unavailable" or "busy." Both location and presence services are message intensive within a mobile operator's network. The invention reduces network messaging traffic and provides better network reliability by reducing the number of messages required within a mobile operator's network by using a single message to aggregate both presence and location information. The addition of presence information that determines the state and availability of a mobile user enhances social networking applications such as friend or family locator services or location-based instant messaging. These social networking applications are increasingly being deployed on mobile operator decks as they deploy precise location based services. ABI Research forecasts that location-based mobile social networking revenues will grow to $3.3 billion globally by 2013.
