ABSTRACT:
Techniques are provided for specifying a presence setting selection and for displaying a presence indicator status of a user with respect to a device associated with the user. The presence setting selection includes providing an input selection component on a surface of a first component of the device. A presence setting is received at the device in accordance with a manual presence selection made using the input selection component. In connection with the presence indicator status, one or more indicators are provided on a surface portion of a first component of the device. The presence indicator status indicating the presence of the user with respect to the device is received. One or more indicators at the device are set in accordance with the presence indicator status.
