A technique and apparatus to provide status tracking of presence and/or location of a mobile, wireless device to a requesting entity even outside of a particular wireless system. This allows wireless service providers the ability to monitor and log changes in the status of mobile stations within and/or outside their networks. Embodiments are disclosed wherein presence and/or location information is provided to entities outside of a particular servicing wireless network using the mechanisms of call processing components of a mobile network (e.g., call setup procedures), and using standard mechanisms currently available to any appropriately conforming Mobile Switching Center (MSC) element. A mobile activity status tracker (MAST) is disclosed which contains a database of information similar to the information contained in the Home Location Register. The MAST tracks and reports status and activity of mobile wireless devices in a wireless network using mobile registration message, mobile inactivity message forwarding, and/or mobile automatic notification of subscriber status to TCP/IP entities (e.g., application servers on the Internet or Intranet). The MAST system duplicates the same or similar information contained in a corresponding HLR, but is available as an external database entity which is not restricted by SS7 standards. The tracking need not track call-specific information, e.g., called telephone numbers or information regarding conversations sustained by the tracked wireless subscribers.

1. A mobile activity status tracker, comprising: an activity receiver to receive a duplicate of a registration notification message from a network point independent of a home location register;a TCP/IP communications channel for communicating a status data message associated with said registration notification message to at least one application server over an Internet protocol (IP) communication network;a database to store registration notification messages associated with individual wireless devices, said registration notification messages having been previously forwarded by said home location register to a network point independent of said home location register; anda transmitter to transmit said status data message to a destination device. 2. The mobile activity status tracker according to claim 1, further comprising: a communications channel to allow entry of said registration notification message into said database from said network point to said mobile activity status tracker without reliance on a communication with said home location register. 3. The mobile activity status tracker according to claim 2, wherein: said communications channel utilizes a TCP/IP communications protocol. 4. The mobile activity status tracker according to claim 1, wherein: said home location register is a stand-alone Home Location Register. 5. The mobile activity status tracker according to claim 1, wherein: said home location register is integrated with a message servicing center on a common platform. 6. The mobile activity status tracker according to claim 1, wherein: said mobile activity status tracker is external to said home location register servicing individual wireless device subscribers. 7. The mobile activity status tracker according to claim 1, wherein: said mobile activity status tracker is adapted to compare a temporary record with entries in said database to determine any changes in activity status relating to a relevant wireless device and overwrite an existing record in said database with said temporary record if a change in activity status is determined. 8. The mobile activity status tracker according to claim 1, wherein: said destination device is an application server. 9. The mobile activity status tracker according to claim 1, wherein: said Home Location Register is an integrated Home Location Register on a common platform with a message service center (MSC). 10. A method of providing a database of presence or location information regarding wireless system subscribers, comprising: receiving, at a mobile activity status tracker, a duplicate of a registration notification message from a network point independent of a home location register;communicating, with a TCP/IP communications channel, a status data message associated with said registration notification message to at least one application server over an Internet protocol (IP) communication network;a database to store registration notification messages associated with individual wireless devices, said registration notification messages having been previously forwarded by said home location register independent of said home location register; andtransmitting said status data message to a destination device. 11. The method of providing a database of presence and location information regarding wireless system subscribers according to claim 10, further comprising: storing, at a database relating to individual wireless device subscribers, said registration notification message associated with at least one of said individual wireless device subscribers. 12. The method of providing a database of presence and location information regarding wireless system subscribers according to claim 10, further comprising: entering said registration notification message into said database from said network point to said mobile activity status tracker without reliance on a communication with said home location register. 13. The method of providing a database of presence and location information regarding wireless system subscribers according to claim 10, further comprising: comparing a temporary record with entries in said database to determine any changes in activity status relating to a relevant wireless device; andat least one of overwriting an existing record with said temporary record if a change in activity status is determined, and keeping a log of at least one of history of activity and status changes for at least one wireless subscriber. 14. The method of providing a database of presence and location information regarding wireless system subscribers according to claim 10, wherein: said registration notification message is forwarded through a network point between said home location register and said mobile activity status tracker. 15. The method of providing a database of presence and location information regarding wireless system subscribers according to claim 10, wherein: said home location register is one of a stand-alone Home Location Register and an Integrated Home Location Register (IHLR).
