Mobile wireless presence and situation management system and method

1. A method for adjusting the operating parameters of a wireless device for use in a wireless communication network, comprising the steps of:

generating situation settings relating to a situation of the wireless device;

storing the situation settings;

receiving a communication at the network for the wireless device;

determining the presence of the wireless device;

applying the situation settings based upon the presence of the wireless device, whereby the operating parameters of the wireless device are adjusted; and

informing the wireless device of the communication via the applied situation settings.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said generating step is performed at the wireless device.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said generating step is performed at the network.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said storing step is performed at the wireless device.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said storing step is performed at the network.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said storing step is performed partly at the wireless device and partly at the network.
