ABSTRACT:
A method is presented for managing user chat status in a chat application. The chat application automatically detects user activity and/or user inactivity external to the chat application and then automatically sets a user chat status value within the chat application based on the detected user activity and/or the detected user inactivity based on telephone line activity. Caller ID information associated with an incoming call with respect to one or more selected priority telephone numbers are screened. The chat application may automatically set the user's current chat status at a given time based on telephone line activity only if the caller ID information associated with the incoming telephone call matches a priority telephone number.
