Abstract:
1. A system for integrating an address book application with an instant messaging application in a mobile station, comprising: a processor; a memory subsystem; an instant messaging database for storing instant messaging data in the memory subsystem, the instant messaging data including a listing of instant messaging contacts and corresponding instant messaging presence information, the instant messaging presence information being dynamically updatable state information that indicates whether the instant messaging contacts are currently accessible by the instant messaging application; an address book database for storing address book data in the memory subsystem; an aggregated data and facilities database in the memory subsystem for relating instant messaging data, including instant messaging presence information, from the instant messaging database with address book data from the address book database, the aggregated data and facilities database accessible by the instant messaging application to display and manipulate data from both the instant messaging database and the address book database; an address library application program interface (API) stored in the memory subsystem and executable by the processor, when executed the address library API being configured to propagate the address book data between the address book database and the aggregated data and facilities database; and an instant messaging library API stored in the memory subsystem and executable by the processor, when executed the instant messaging library API being configured to propagate the instant messaging data between the instant messaging database and the aggregated data and facilities database.
