`
`Dear Sir:
`
`In response to the Notice of Allowance dated September 29, 2011, please
`amend the above-identified patent application as follows:
`
`Amendments to the Claims are reflected in the listing of claims which begins on page
`2 of this paper.

`Amendments to the Claims:
`The listing of claims will replace all prior versions, and listings, of claims in the
`application:
`
`Listing of Claims:
`
`(Currently amended) A non-transitory computer-implemented method to
`1.
`manage the communication of a user via a server based on a communication protocol,
`in view of a person, using a first device, trying to electronically convey a message from
`the first device to a second device of the user, the method comprising
`receiving, by the server, the message from the first device;
`identifying, by the server, the identity of the person; and
`setting, by the server, a process for the message using one or more rules based
`on at least a status of the user stored at the second device, and an access priority of the
`person also stored at the second device, the access priority depending on the identity of
`the person,
`wherein the server is aware of contact information of the person,
`wherein even if the process includes transmitting the message to the second
`device via contact information of the user, the server does not provide the contact
`information of the person to the second device to inhibit the user from sending
`messages to the person without via the server, and the server also does not provide the
`contact information of the user to the first device to inhibit the person from sending
`messages to the user without via the server, and
`wherein the server can be restricted from accessing the status of the user from the
`second device, and
`wherein the access priority of the person to help set the process depends at least
`in part on a user’s reaction towards a prior message from the person.
